Summary

As CoreOS is a young and very promising operating system, a lot of developments are happening on daily basis. One of the major milestones of CoreOS in the recent past was that Google and CoreOS jointly announced a new project called Tectonic to offer IT infrastructure, which is completely container-based leveraging both CoreOS and Kubernetes. Tectonic is a commercial Kubernetes platform that combines the CoreOS stack with Kubernetes to bring a Google-style infrastructure to any cloud. Companies such as Rackspace, Salesforce, MemSQL, Atlassian, and Pivotal's Cloud Foundry have already deployed CoreOS. The future of CoreOS looks very bright as CoreOS is aiming to build next-generation IT infrastructure without increasing the complexity. As security is one of the major concerns in current IT infrastructure, one of the major goals of CoreOS is to enable the companies to run their applications securely and reliably in any environment, bringing a promising future for CoreOS.
