I remember attending a talk given by the CEO a few months ago. The strong point of CoreOS is for hosting application servers because it is does auto restart / updates rather than hosting can-not-go-down systems such as Databases.
This is exciting to me from a technological standpoint.
1. One of first large public projects written in Go (after docker)
2. One of the first large public projects using Raft. (consensus algorithm aimed to replace Paxos)
I am really looking forward to seeing how this project turns out. Personally, I wouldn't move any of my projects onto CoreOs for at least a few years.
Other than that, I always question how they plan to make money. Consulting model?
