# Operating Systems

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:

* 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
* Fedora CoreOS: rpm-ostree, podman, moby

Switch from upstream hyperkube image to individual images * Kubernetes plans to stop releasing the hyperkube container image * Upstream will continue to publish `kube-apiserver`, `kube-controller-manager`, `kube-scheduler`, and `kube-proxy` container images to `k8s.gcr.io` * Upstream will publish Kubelet only as a binary for distros to package, either as a DEB/RPM on traditional distros or a container image on container-optimized operating systems * Typhoon will package the upstream Kubelet (checksummed) and its dependencies as a container image for use on CoreOS Container Linux, Flatcar Linux, and Fedora CoreOS * Update the Typhoon container image security policy to list `quay.io/poseidon/kubelet`as an official distributed artifact Hyperkube: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88676 Kubelet Container Image: https://github.com/poseidon/kubelet Kubelet Quay Repo: https://quay.io/repository/poseidon/kubelet 2020-03-17 05:21:41 +01:00			`\| kubelet image \| kubelet [image](https://github.com/poseidon/kubelet) with upstream binary \| kubelet [image](https://github.com/poseidon/kubelet) with upstream binary \|`
