Just how many things is CoreOS trying to do? Last I counted, they want to

a) Build a distributed OS

b) Build a distributed scheduler (Fleet)

c) Build a distributed key value system (etcd)

d) Build a new container engine (Rocket)

e) Build a network fabric (Flannel)

f) Now embark on building a brand new distributed storage system.

Holy cow that's some goal list. Sounds like something my kids would make up for their Christmas wish list.

I really don't get how their board and investors let them get away with such a childish imagination.

Each one of those is a company effort on its own.




Fleet died once Kubernetes became a thing, even though they serve entirely different use cases.
