Abstract
This disclosure relates to determining, presenting, and optimizing an operating system (OS) for use in hosting a set of binaries. An operating system (OS) dependency management system provides features and functionality for analyzing dependencies within an OS with respect to one or more binaries to determine transitive closures representative of branches of dependencies within the OS and optimizing one or more components of the OS for the binaries in a way that reduces or otherwise removes the unnecessary code from the OS while enabling the binaries to be hosted. In addition to this analysis and optimization, the systems described herein further involve providing a presentation of an optimized version of the OS (or select OS components) in a way that enables a user to navigate dependencies within the OS associated with hosting a given set of binaries.
