While CoreOS, Inc. has a set vision for the future and considers itself an open-source company, it continues to search for answers at the community level.

“When it comes to what we are doing, we have a clear vision for where we want to take infrastructure, and it just happens to be that there are a lot of outstanding questions at the community level. And that’s what folks are here to actually solve and work through,” said Brian Redbeard, principal architect at CoreOS. Redbeard sat down with theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s production team, for an interview at OpenStack Summit Vancouver 2015.

Targeting Kubernetes

Redbeard described the current objectives of CoreOS as, “We’re really targeting Kubernetes, kind of pushing an option of app C, a greater use of Rocket itself, and really trying to continue with the overarching mission of changing how infrastructure is done and driving greater security on the server side of things on the Internet.”

And, according to Redbeard, CoreOS is “very much we are an open source company; we are an open company in general. All of our development happens in the open so that folks can really track what we are doing.” Consumers being able to “read the tea leaves” on product development to get an overall sense of where CoreOS’ infrastructure is going means the marketing team has a little less to do.

Redbeard stated that CoreOS is involved in the OpenStack marketplace, including Mirantis, Inc.. CoreOS has also been working in conjunction with Rackspace, Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. on OpenStack Ironic, which utilizes the CoreOS image “to get a lot of things done on that front.”
