Flatcar Linux serves as a drop-in compatible "friendly fork" of Container Linux. Flatcar Linux publishes the same channels and versions as Container Linux and gets provisioned, managed, and operated in an identical way (e.g. login as user "core"). + +On AWS, pick the Container Linux derivative channel by setting `os_image` to coreos-stable, coreos-beta, coreos-alpha, flatcar-stable, flatcar-beta, or flatcar-alpha. + +On bare-metal, pick the Container Linux derivative channel by setting `os_channel` to coreos-stable, coreos-beta, coreos-alpha, flatcar-stable, flatcar-beta, or flatcar-alpha. Set the `os_version` number to PXE boot and install. Variables `container_linux_channel` and `container_linux_version` have been dropped. + +Flatcar Linux provides a familar Container Linux experience, with support from Kinvolk as an alternative to Red Hat. Typhoon offers the choice of Container Linux vendor to satisfy differing preferences and to diversify technology underpinnings, while providing a consistent Kubernetes experience across operating systems, clouds, and on-premise. + ## April 26, 2018 Introducing Typhoon Kubernetes clusters for Fedora Atomic! diff --git a/docs/index.md b/docs/index.md index 7706c0f0..e99f2615 100644 --- a/docs/index.md +++ b/docs/index.md @@ -30,7 +30,9 @@ Typhoon provides a Terraform Module for each supported operating system and plat | Digital Ocean | Container Linux | [digital-ocean/container-linux/kubernetes](cl/digital-ocean.md) | beta | | Digital Ocean | Fedora Atomic | [digital-ocean/fedora-atomic/kubernetes](atomic/digital-ocean.md) | alpha | | Google Cloud | Container Linux | [google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes](cl/google-cloud.md) | beta | -| Google Cloud | Fedora Atomic | [google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes](atomic/google-cloud.md) | very alpha | +| Google Cloud | Fedora Atomic | [google-cloud/container-linux/kubernetes](atomic/google-cloud.md) | alpha | + +The AWS and bare-metal `container-linux` modules allow picking Red Hat Container Linux (formerly CoreOS Container Linux) or Kinvolk's Flatcar Linux friendly fork. ## Documentation diff --git a/docs/topics/performance.md b/docs/topics/performance.md index b98c57a3..05fef38d 100644 --- a/docs/topics/performance.md +++ b/docs/topics/performance.md @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Provisioning times vary based on the operating system and platform.
