CoreOS images are now available on Google Compute Engine

• CSDude 12y ago
  Why no one is discussing this? Just curious. Is it a bug?

    Why is pretty much no one using Google Compute Engine? That's the interesting question.

  Are the official images on EC2 or any of the other cloud compute platforms?

    Sure are! On the home page ( https://coreos.com https://coreos.com ) you'll find links to directions for various providers from EC2 & Rackspace to OpenStack & Vagrant. Each has the exact directions that will get you started with least effort (including image ids where appropriate and URLs otherwise).

  Would it make sense to use CoreOS on just one machine or is it only useful with multiple machines?
