Very usesful OS for IoT devices

The standout feature for our organization is ResinOS's excellent support for Docker containers. It easily handles multiple IoT devices, a crucial requirement in our trade. The read-only root filesystem is another significant advantage for us. The integrated VPN and OTA updates are also convenient tools to use.
