Microsoft published Updating distribution CBL-MARINER 1.0.20210901 (Common Base Linux Mariner), which develops as a universal base platform for Linux-environments used in cloud infrastructure, EDGE systems and Different Microsoft services. The project is aimed at the unification of those used in Microsoft Linux solutions and simplify the maintenance of Linux systems of various purposes in the current state. Project operation distributed under the MIT license.
In a new release:
- The formation of the basic ISO image began (700 MB). In the first issue, ready-made ISO images were not provided, it was implied that the user can Create Image with the required stuffing (Corrigine instructions Prepared For Ubuntu 18.04).
- implemented support for automatic package updates, for which the DNF-Automatic application is enabled.
- Linux kernel is updated to version 5.10.60.1. Updated software versions, including OpenVSwitch 2.15.1, Golang 1.16.7, Logrus 1.8.1,

- The composition includes new packages: etcd-tools, cockpit, aide, fipscheck, tini.
- Removed BRP-Strip-Debug-Symbols packages, BRP-strip-unneeded and CA-LEGACY. Deleted Spec files for DOTNet and Aspnetcore packages, which are now going to the main command of the .NET developers and are placed in a separate repository.
- In the package versions used, vulnerabilities are transferred.
Recall that the CBL-Mariner distribution provides a small typical set of basic packets protruding the universal basis for creating container fillings, host environments and services running in cloud infrastructures and EDGE devices . More complex and specialized solutions can be created by adding additional packages over CBL-Mariner, but the basis for all such systems remains unchanged, which simplifies support and preparation of updates. For example, CBL-Mariner is used as the basis of a mini-distribution WSLG
