I suspect an announcement re: Docker's acquisition by a major tech player may follow closely on the heels of this news.
Why is that? They seem to be at very different stages.

Super disappointed in this part of it. Is anyone else aware/familiar with a decent immutable lightweight Linux distro like Container Linux?

If you're looking for immutability, I can recommend NixOS. However what is drawing me to container Linux is mainly its update process

Fedora / CentOS Atomic, which is Redhat's "clone" of container linux.
Re: Red Hat to Acquire CoreOS
#37This makes sense. Red Hat has been investing in Project Atomic for a while now and CoreOS still seems like a better option, if you're looking for a container-only OS that has been battle tested. Additionally, both companies seem like good places to work, with leadership that's often praised and has the results to show. I'm happy for CoreOS on this one, they're joining a company that I admire. Looking forward to see h…
Probably rhel9. I have no professional insight into this but the historic timeline implies 8 will be out soon, I suspect they are just waiting for Wayland to get some where they feel comfortable with. Anything past Wayland is probably a 9 feature.
Atomic Host was introduced in RHEL7.2 if I remember correctly. There's a lot of room for introducing CoreOS technology before RHEL9, which would probably be 4-5 years from now.
(disclaimer: working at Red Hat, though not on anything related to containers).

#38Great to see their innovation recognized and hopefully it will become even more popular & widespread with RedHat's distribution muscle and enterprise customer relationships.

Anyone want to wager that MS buys Canonical?
