Using an OverlayFS mount to provide custom fleet and etcd binaries is a really smart, clean trick. Well done.

Thx! We also could have build our own images but with this we can mix and match all sorts of versions. This is very handy for testing or rolling out new versions independently.

I' ver been using my own cloud formation template to spin up CoreOS clusters, and it's a real pain! I'll surely try Kocho out!

We know! Happy for any feedback or questions around our tool and templates.

Wow I didn't knew about Mayu/Kochu, pretty clever. it would be great to also have Kubernetes and a ha filesystem (gluster) or some kind of local s3 bootstrapped. When that would be possible it would be really really easy to use that on bare metal and still have a way to create files / run software that isn't a good fit for docker (i.e. some databases)

We had the same thought and so we created tools to do exactly that. Expect some more soonish.
