QM

QM is a containerized environment for running Functional Safety QM (Quality Management) software

The main purpose of this package is to allow users to set up an environment which prevents applications and container tools from interfering with other processes on the system. For example ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) environments.

The QM environment uses containerization tools like cgroups, namespaces, and security isolation to prevent accidental interference by processes in the qm.

The QM will run its own version of systemd and Podman to isolate not only the applications and containers launched by systemd and Podman but systemd and Podman commands themselves.

This package requires the Podman package to establish the containerized environment and uses quadlet to set it up.

Software install into the qm environment under /usr/lib/qm/rootfs will be automatically isolated from the host. But if developers want to further isolate these processes from other processes in the QM they can use container tools like Podman to further isolate.
