What is Stateless Linux server? What features does it offer?A stateless Linux server is a centralized server in which no state exists on the single workstations. There may be scenarios when a state of a partilcuar system is meaningful (A snap shot is taken then) and the user wants all the other machines to be in that state. This is where the stateless Linux server comes into picture.
Features:
- It stores the prototypes of every machine
- It stores snapshots taken for those systems
- It stores home directories for those systems
- Uses LDAP containing information of all systems to assist in finding out which snapshot (of state) should be running on which system.What is Stateless Linux server? What features does it offer?Stateless linux is a way how a system is to run and be managed.

If server goes offline, a new virtual instance that is running the OS image off of the network storage.
