Getting Started with Fedora CoreOS
summary
Fedora CoreOS is an immutable, container-focused OS delivered as a universal QCOW2 image and customized at boot by writing YAML, converting with the Fedora CoreOS Config Transpiler to JSON Ignition configs, validating with ignition-validate and installing via virt-install or cloud images. The demo boots KVM VMs, shows console-login-helper-messages fetching public IP via icanhazip, runs an etcd node in a rootless Podman container successfully, and proves automatic two-week updates with rpm-ostree and an immediate rollback that reboots to the previous image.
