Fedora CoreOS - best host for your containers
summary
Fedora CoreOS merges Fedora Atomic Host and Container Linux into a minimal, immutable OS that auto-updates with rollback via rpm-ostree and exposes first-boot provisioning through ignition. It ships container runtimes (Docker/Podman/CRI-O), targets Fedora 30/31 content, and publishes nightly images from CI; channels are next, testing, stable with roughly two-week updates. Hosts avoid a Python runtime (no Python goal), run on x86_64 (aarch64 and ppc64le in progress), and boot on bare metal, PXE, QEMU/VirtualBox and major clouds.
