Hi,

I would like to know is there any future plans to containerize the  apps
and services of OpenBMC firmware

Thanks,

I'm not aware of any efforts in that direction, no.  Is there a
particular benefit that would be achieved by doing so?

Embedding a container in  OpenBMC may bring  many advantages such as
portability, modularity, security and considerably speed up the application
development time.

For containerizing firmware, I do believe architecture matters. could
anyone of you  explain the OpenBMC firmware architecture briefly

Have you read through any of the design information in the docs
repository or watched any of the background videos on the YouTube
channel?  Was there any specific questions you had?

Have gone through some documentation over  internet. Firmware can be
containerized to get the more benefits.  so is there any plans to
containerize the OpenBMC firmware?

The best thing to do here is to elaborate what BMC-specific use cases
you're trying to fulfill, then work that backwards to a solution,
which _might_ include some form of container.  Containers have quite a
breadth of use cases, but without knowing what you're trying to
accomplish, it's very difficult to present you with a path forward on
how to proceed with your idea.  Once you've got your use cases,
there's quite a few people who would be happy to help evaluate the
technical merit of your idea.
