Building containers for embedded systems, edge, or IoT devices can be tricky. These days, even small devices are running complex multi-service systems — think databases, inference engines, dashboards, data collectors, message brokers — all while being constrained on storage, network, and power. The big question is: how do you build, deploy, test, and update these systems in a reliable, security-focused way — without endless frustration?
