FFoundries.io
Not just updates — a maintained, security-patched Linux distribution with the update path built into it.

- How it works
- FoundriesFactory gives you a per-customer Linux build with CI, signed OSTree updates, secure boot and a maintained CVE stream. You are buying ongoing platform maintenance — the part that quietly consumes an embedded team a year after launch — rather than an update tool.
- Targets
- Linux + Zephyr
- Deployment
- SaaS (FoundriesFactory)
- Rollback
- OSTree-based atomic updates with rollback
- Pricing*
- Subscription, tiered by devices · pricing page

- Best for
- Teams who do not want to maintain a distro
- Notable
- CVE patching is part of the product
* Published list pricing at August 2026 (vendor pricing pages, August 2026), not a quote.
Strengths
- Removes long-term distro maintenance from your plate
- Signed atomic updates with rollback by design
- Security-first: secure boot and key handling included
- Covers both Linux and Zephyr targets
Trade-offs
- No free tier to evaluate quietly
- You adopt their platform, not just their updater
- Overkill if you already maintain a Yocto layer well
