CoreOS vs CentOS for Containers Deployments

AlyRagab

Hi All
Need to ask who worked with CoreOS and CentOS , is there any difference between building docker containers in CentOS and CoreOS , and what is the experience you got from using CoreOS ?.
based on a lot of aspects like " Security , Updates , Stability " and so on

Thanks

Are you talking about regular centos or centos atomic? The atomic one is the equivalent of coreos.

I used CoreOS abit, but only for learning. And it is made specifically for containers. and nowadays containers are not just containers there are many other topics like fleet management (Kubernetes) and all the advanced stuff if you want this go with container specific OS like Core OS, however if you just want to run a couple of containers like mysql/php/nextcloud and play with things go for Centos (and check if Ubuntu server has an updated build of docker or not , and weight that as well).

CoreOS is CoreOS. Atomic is the CentOS competitor.

I'd certainly not use CentOS. I'd use Fedora.

Why @scottalanmiller ?

Especially for a component where constant development is taking place. Fedora is dramatically more modern and up to date on containers than CentOS.
