# Operating Systems
2019-07-18 08:52:34 +02:00
Typhoon supports [Container Linux ](https://coreos.com/why/ ), [Flatcar Linux ](https://www.flatcar-linux.org/ ) and [Fedora CoreOS ](https://getfedora.org/coreos/ ) (preview). These operating systems were chosen because they offer:
2018-04-24 10:10:40 +02:00
* Minimalism and focus on clustered operation
* Automated and atomic operating system upgrades
* Declarative and immutable configuration
* Optimization for containerized applications
Together, they diversify Typhoon to support a range of container technologies.
* Container Linux: Gentoo core, rkt-fly, docker
