Three Ways Red Hat Acquiring CoreOS Helps Cloud Native

Red Hat's acquisition of CoreOS is seen as a strategic move that benefits the Cloud Native community by enhancing Red Hat's capabilities in container technology. CoreOS, known for its contributions to open-source projects and its innovative approach to container host operating systems with Container Linux, complements Red Hat's enterprise offerings. This acquisition allows Red Hat to strengthen its position in the container host OS market and integrate CoreOS' enterprise Kubernetes distribution, Tectonic, with its own OpenShift platform. Additionally, Red Hat's involvement with the Open Container Initiative and other container runtime projects is bolstered by CoreOS' technology, providing end users with more choices in container runtimes. This move is expected to accelerate Cloud Native strategies across enterprises, with Red Hat investing in improvements that will benefit the entire community.
