Roadmap for CoreOS Integration with Red Hat OpenShift
I'm a PM and engineer at CoreOS/Red Hat -- feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer.<p>In the next few months, you should see an OpenShift that is built upon the same upgrade system as Tectonic which allows for more incremental buy-in to OpenShift PaaS functionality and a Linux distribution that leverages Ignition and immutability to provide the minimal environment needed to run Kubernetes/containers.<p>My understanding is that Container Linux as is will be supported for years, but we will also be creating a new distro, RH CoreOS, that replaces the Gentoo build system with Fedora tooling. This shouldn't change much for users as they don't interact with the build system; they just consume the results of said system. I'd liken this scenario to the relationship between CentOS and RHEL, which are both maintained by Red Hat. Some details have yet to shake out; for example, I personally don't know if the resulting distro will leverage rpm-ostree, but we already have internal proof-of-concepts running OpenShift with Tectonic components on top of Container Linux.<p>Please voice your opinions here and now! Nothing is set in stone and we're listening for the community to weigh in on these decisions as well.
