Hello,
CoreOS for dedicated servers is now available and can be installed via the EUserv customer panel. CoreOS is a fork of Chrome OS with the aim of providing a streamlined and secure platform for container virtualisation.
CoreOS consists of the components "fleet" (orchestration), "etcd" (service discovery) and Docker or more recently "rocket" for the provision of (App) -Containers. In cluster setups, "etcd" ensures that the container configurations are kept in sync across the participating hosts. "fleet" as central orchestration tool allows the management of services on each cluster node. Docker or, "rocket" conduces the deployment of applications or Linux instances in insulated containers similar to LXC.
With the supplied service "locksmithd" different update strategies for the entire cluster can be developed. As Reboot Manager "locksmithd" can be configured differently depending on the requirement (number of simultaneous Cluster Nodes that have to be rebooted, order of reboots etc.) and makes it easier to roll out updates on the entire cluster.
More features:
- Cluster operation possible
- controllable via REST-API
- service management via systemd
kind regards,
Katrin
