I 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 12y 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 12y agoTrue, but they still would not be using ISOs.
