Red Hat CoreOS and OpenShift v4

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Claim: Red Hat CoreOS merges Container Linux, Atomic Host and RHEL to deliver automated OS management for OpenShift v4. It uses Ignition for early-boot, embeds OS updates as oscontainers (ostree-in-container) inside the release payload, and runs a Machine Config Operator that rolls updates with maxUnavailable=1, drains nodes, applies ostree transactions, reboots the node into the new tree and supports rollback. Demo shows cluster-driven upgrades and a node booting into the updated OS.
