The different AmiOS use cases

When the cost of a mistake is high, predictability wins. AmiOS turns critical tasks into ephemeral, controlled sessions that are easy to deploy and easy to reset. See how this helps a System Admin below, and find additional use cases further down.

How does AmiOS help a System Admin?

Admin workstations are high-value targets. AmiOS turns those sessions into controlled, ephemeral workflows. Each session boots from a known, policy-defined baseline that runs entirely in RAM; the image contains only the tools and services you approve, so there’s no drift and no surprise processes. During use, guardrails can enforce allow-listed utilities, read-only local disks, restricted networking (including fully offline modes), and purpose-built profiles for tasks like patching, recovery, or forensics—separating duties and shrinking the attack surface. When the job is done, shutdown wipes memory and returns the device to a pristine state; if a laptop or boot media is lost, it cannot be used to recover information or privileged access. Images are easy to distribute the same way every time (ISO, USB, PXE), and the Admin Station lets you update or create new images from code, keeping admin workflows repeatable for audits and incident response.

How is AmiOS different than creating a bootable USB drive for a Linux live-boot as described here?

AmiOS creates the live-boot environment, the ISO file, and creates it the way you want it. Instead of using the ISO file provided by Ubuntu, you create your own system with the tools, applications, and security policy you want. You can then follow the same instruction to create a bootable USB drive with your own live-boot system.
