SUSE Adaptable Linux Platform "ALP"
-
ALP prototype 'Les Droites' is to be expected later this week. - openSUSE News
All of the ALP Workgroups are working towards delivering promised September ALP prototype with the codename “Les Droites”. SUSE will continue using a mountain naming theme for all upcoming prototypes, which will be delivered on a three months basis from now.
Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP) is planned, developed, and tested in open so users can simply get images from OBS and see test results in openQA
As far as “Les Droites” goes, users can look forward to a SLE Micro like HostOS with self-healing abilities contributing to our OS-as-a-Service/ZeroTouch story. The Big Idea is that the user focuses on the application rather than the underlying host, which manages, heals, and self-optimizes itself. Both Salt (pre-installed) and Ansible will be available to simplify further management.

ALP minimal arch baselevel will be x86_64-2 - openSUSE News
There is big news brewing! SUSE has reconsidered setting the minimum architecture baseline for ALP from the originally announced x86_64-v3 to x86_64-v2.
SUSE is currently looking into providing support for x86_64-v3 and perhaps even v4 through hwcaps functionality, just as it is currently being handled on other non-intel architectures.
Dimstar already announced that openSUSE Factory will lead the way and set the minimum architecture level for Intel to x86_64-v2 in upcoming weeks.
