NAS OS App Developer Guide

Overview

NASOS SDK Version	0.7 (see changelog)
Copyright	Copyright © 2016 Seagate
Date	2016-01-15

This document will teach you how to use the Seagate NAS OS SDK, which provides an environment to create, debug and deploy apps for Seagate NAS OS products.

It provides a virtual machine that contains all the necessary tools for app creation.

Apps are additional software that can be installed inside NAS OS. They are based on a container system, which provides isolation from the NAS OS itself, thus providing improved security and easier maintenance.

An API allows leveraging the power of NAS OS by giving apps access to most of its features and resources.

NAS OS contains an internal app store, with detailed publishing information, and a secure app signing mechanism, which guarantees both the origin and the integrity of each app.
