Rocket, a new container runtime from CoreOS
CoreOS has announced that it
is moving away from Docker and toward "Rocket," a new container runtime
that it has developed. "Unfortunately, a simple re-usable component
is not how things are playing out. Docker now is building tools for
launching cloud servers, systems for clustering, and a wide range of
functions: building images, running images, uploading, downloading, and
eventually even overlay networking, all compiled into one monolithic binary
running primarily as root on your server. The standard container manifesto
was removed. We should stop talking about Docker containers, and start
talking about the Docker Platform. It is not becoming the simple composable
building block we had envisioned."
