Does anyone know of a hosting service that offers Silverblue as a possible choice for OS?

It seems to me that for a server running only docker services the greatly reduced attack surface of an immutable distro presents a definitive advantage.

    An attacker escaping from a container can’t be system root as Podman runs rootless (without some other exploit or weak password).

    That would be true of podman running anywhere, and is not unique to an immutable distribution.

    The filesystem itself is also read-only.

    You can change that real quick if you have root access.
