Just Enough Operating System (JeOS) is a tech design concept in which a
leaner version of an operating system (OS) replaces the full version to
run on a specific device or hardware setup. The term represents a sea
change in the way engineers address the necessity of an OS to a given
hardware design. It promotes the idea that "less is more," in terms of
operating systems that should be installed in a technology product.

JeOS designers have to consider a
given OS' kernel or core, as well as tools and utilities required to
create a custom OS that enables faster operations and less required
installation memory. The use of JeOS designs often corresponds to a
virtual appliance method, where a virtual machine (VM) image runs on a
given platform.
There also is a tendency for open source operating systems to lead the pack, in terms of JeOS development, even though this model is being adopted by other major licensed operating systems.
An Ideal Platform for Today's Agile Environments
Based on enterprise favorite SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, JeOS provides an ideal platform for today’s agile environments whether it is private cloud or virtualized data center. JeOS (pronounced /jo͞os/, just like “juice”) is a perfect minimized host OS for deployment of container applications, private cloud images, and simplification of IT operations. In your enterprise or data center, take advantage of several different flavors of JeOS—KVM/Xen Fully Virtualized, Xen Paravirtualized, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware, or OpenStack Cloud.
In today's private clouds and virtualized datacenter, fast deployment is critical to achieve operational efficiency. How can you quickly fire up an image in your virtual data center or private cloud without worrying about the certifications? How can you be sure hundreds of virtual machine images are standardized in configuration for efficiency?
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server JeOS (Just Enough Operating System) is a slimmed down form factor of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server that is ready to run in virtualization environment and cloud. With SUSE Linux Enterprise Server JeOS, you can choose the right sized SUSE Linux Enterprise Server option to fit your needs.

Just enough OS that's ready-to-run
JeOS trims unnecessary components down to keep the size small (about
300 MB). It is designed specifically for virtualization environment such
as VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, and Xen. It is ready-to-run in your
hypervisors to save your time in deployment and configuration.
No need to re-certify
If you are certified on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server today, you do
not need to re-certify for JeOS. JeOS is built on the same code base as
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. There's no extra effort required to get
the same enterprise-grade, mission-critical performance, stability and
services in a smaller package.
Reference:
Minimized Container Host OS
JeOS leverages the strong foundation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server to deliver an exceptionally agile and fast development platform. Deploy applications such as with containers faster than ever using JeOS, without compromising on the enterprise quality SUSE Linux foundation.Private Cloud Image
As an administrator, use JeOS to create ready to run virtual images for demonstration, testing, or production.Simplify IT Operations
JeOS provides a minimal system, a “Silver Image”, for further customization to suit your business needs. You can use the Silver Image as a base to build “Gold Images” faster and with accuracy.Reference:
