NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

CoreOS is a Linux distribution designed to run large, scalable systems. All applications deployed on a CoreOS instance are run in separate Docker containers, and CoreOS provides a suite of tools to help manage them, including etcd their own distributed configuration store. Newer services, such as fleet, help cluster management by ensuring that a specific number of service instances are always kept running. FastPatch allows atomic CoreOS upgrades using an active-passive root partition scheme and helps with quick rollback in case of problems. These new developments make CoreOS well worth looking into if you are already comfortable with Docker.
