Hi all,
On behalf of the Fedora CoreOS Working Group, I'm thrilled to announce the
first preview release of Fedora CoreOS. Fedora CoreOS is built to be the
secure and reliable host for your compute clusters. It's designed
specifically for running containerized workloads without regular
maintenance, automatically updating itself with the latest OS improvements,
bug fixes, and security updates.
The initial preview release of Fedora CoreOS runs on bare metal, QEMU,
VMware, and AWS, on x86_64 only. It supports provisioning via Ignition
spec 3.0.0 and the Fedora CoreOS Config Transpiler, automatic updates with
Zincati and rpm-ostree, and running containers with Podman and Moby. In
the coming months, we'll be adding more platforms, building out
functionality, and creating documentation to get Fedora CoreOS ready for
production use. For now, the Fedora CoreOS preview should not be used for
production workloads, and it might change in incompatible ways before the
stable release.
You can check out the Fedora CoreOS preview at our new website,
https://getfedora.org/coreos/. To get running, see our getting-started
guide <
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/getting-started/>,
plus the documentation
<
https://github.com/coreos/fcct/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md> and config
spec <
https://github.com/coreos/fcct/blob/master/docs/configuration-v1_0.md>
for the Fedora CoreOS Config Transpiler. Then, send us your feedback!
