While all this sounds cool it is a tiny bit frustrating that do not have an ISO to boot. I found at least one other person looking at it, but I could not figure out why that was not an option.
It almost sounded like this is an OS but not one you install? Or somehow the OS is only in memory? Like tinycore maybe?
- robszumski 13y agoThe ISO is undocumented as it is still being tweaked, but you can try i t out if you'd like: http://storage.core-os.net/coreos/amd64-usr/alpha/coreos_production_iso_image.iso http://storage.core-os.net/coreos/amd64-usr/alpha/coreos_pro.... You'll have to use config-drive to provide cloud-config. Report back to the coreos-dev mailing list with any issues.
- tonetheman 13y agothanks thanks very cool.
- matteotom 13y agoI don't think it's quite at the point of being stable enough to provide an ISO yet. Also, while it is possible to run on bare mettle, it would not be most productive to do so in most cases. One of the strengths of CoreOS is the ability to quickly add new machines to a cluster and manage applications not on the individual server level, but as collections of services running via Docker. This means, unless you have quite a few computers ready to scale, it would work best on something like AWS or Google Cloud Platform.
- robszumski 13y agoFor small to medium clusters cloud providers work great. As deployments of CoreOS get larger, PXE booting will probably become the most popular way to add capacity. Plug in 10/100/1000 servers, turn them on and instant capacity added. The upper end of the target scale for CoreOS consists of companies that own their own datacenters or have many points of presence.
- matteotom 13y agoTrue, but they still would not be using ISOs.
