<center>Major Theme for SLE Micro 5.1</center>
</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>Web based System Management with Cockpit</strong></font><br>
As an immutable operating system designed for Edge use cases, SLE Micro does not support YaST for
local system administration. We provide basic administration tools via the included web-based
system management based on the Cockpit project.
</li>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>New deliverable: Real-Time</strong></font><br>
Real-Time – On Intel and AMD64 SLE Micro provides a real-time kernel as an option.
</li>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>Security Framework</strong></font><br>
SLE Micro standardises on SELinux as the security and confinement framework and extents it with a
fully supported SELinux policy.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; color: #30ba78;">
<center>Notable Changes since SLE Micro 5.0?</center>
</h2>
<ul>
<li>Based on <font color="#30ba78"><strong>SLE 15 SP3</strong></font><br>
SLE Micro 5.1 is based on SLE 15 SP3 where SLE Micro 5.0 was based on SLE 15 SP2.</li>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>SUSEConnect re-write</strong></font><br>
As we strive to make SLE Micro as minimal as possible we decided to re-write SUSEConnect in a
compiled language that does not come with a dependency on a scripting language stack. We have
decided to re-write SUSEConnect in Go.
</li>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>Full 5G support</strong></font> (Planned, not yet included in Beta)<br>
Initial testing with partners and customers has shown the support for 5G devices with the currently
used networking stack based on wicked is limited.
With SLE Micro 5.1 the support for 5G client devices shall be improved and expand to cover common
devices.
</li>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>Secure Device Onboarding (SDO)</strong></font><br>
Secure Device Onboarding (SDO) will play a major role in upcoming edge deployments. We therefore
will provide an SDO client on SLE Micro 5.1. The client will not be provided on the SLE Micro 5.1
images itself but outside of the images.
</li>
<li>
<font color="#30ba78"><strong>LivePatching</strong></font><br>
With SLE Micro being introduced in datacenter as a container host OS, there is a need for specific datacenter feature, thus the availability of live patching.
We are going to provide LivePatching with the final product SLE Micro 5.1. It is not yet available with this beta2.
</li>
</ul>
