Building Distributed Systems with CoreOS

Building distributed systems is hard, but with the right components just about anyone can get started. At the heart of any distributed system is the underlying infrastructure, which often includes a collection of servers, a central configuration and lock service, and a scheduler to manage your workloads. 

CoreOS provides all of these components starting with the base OS, CoreOS Linux; a minimal OS optimized for running Linux containers. Next is the central key value store, etcd, which provides shared configuration, service discovery, and a cluster wide lock service built on top of the Raft consensus algorithm for high-availability. These components mixed with Kubernetes provides ways for you to scale your workloads, similar to how Google, Twitter and Facebook do today. 

All of these projects are open source and part of growing community. Come learn how to get started with CoreOS today.
