For context, ChromiumOS is already available on Google Cloud as their recommended Kubernetes host OS. Launching a new GCE instance gives me "Container-Optimized OS 63-10032.71.0 beta (ChromiumOS-4.4.86 Kubernetes: 1.7.8 Docker: 17.03.2)" among the other base images.
- twotwotwo 9y agoOh, interesting. I see "Kernel: ChromiumOS-4.4.86" in the list and some of their docs on it have other cros-isms (/mnt/stateful_partition), and that version 63 lines up with Chrome. cros is sort of a surprising choice of upstream for a GCE thing, but I guess it is a hardened, public Linux kernel that Google already maintains. Makes everything confusing, though, since there are some commits specifically mentioning VMs and the codename for the Pixelbook (Eve), so something is happening there, but there's also an intersection with a whole other container-related project :/ I wouldn't mind if ARC, the Android subsystem, could live in a VM. Android apps can poke at a bunch of surface area that webpages can't.
