1️⃣4️⃣ Here's the 14th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v258 release of systemd. #systemd258

The concept of system credentials has existed since a while in systemd. It allows parameterizing the system (and the services running on it) in a secure and hierarchical way. You can pass them into containers and into VMs, for example via SMBIOS Type #11 vendor strings. While the transport is low-level and firmware compatible, they can reasonably only be consumed in userspace.
