Image Composer Tool: Declarative Multi-Distro Linux Image Builds From Packages - Mats Agerstam & Alpesh Rodage, Intel Corporation
Monday May 18, 2026 4:30pm - 5:10pm CDT
200G (Level Two)
Building custom Linux images for edge deployments requires distribution-specific toolchains, manual dependency resolution, and bespoke scripting; resulting in fragile, hard-to-reproduce pipelines.

Image Composer Tool (ICT) is an open-source tool that composes bootable Linux images from pre-built packages using declarative YAML templates. It supports Azure Linux, Ubuntu, Wind River eLxr, and Edge Microvisor Toolkit through a single workflow, with dependency resolution across RPM and DEB ecosystems, GPG signature verification, and deterministic builds for CI/CD.

This session covers:

Package management abstraction across RPM and DEB via a unified interface

Reproducible, template-driven builds producing identical outputs from identical inputs

Supply chain security: GPG verification, TLS-secured fetches, minimal attack surface

Extensible provider architecture enabling contributors to add new distributions

Live demo: composing a bootable image from a YAML template in minutes

Attendees will learn how declarative image composition simplifies multi-distribution package management and produces reproducible, secure OS images
