CoreOS Container Linux Will Be Red Hat CoreOS

Container Linux and Project Atomic, which is built around the lightweight containerized operating system, Atomic Host, will be united into Red Hat CoreOS. Breard said, "Red Hat CoreOS will preserve the best from both offerings." Ultimately, Red Hat CoreOS will supersede Atomic Host and Container Linux and function as Red Hat's immutable, container-centric operating system.

There will be an upstream community version of CoreOS, as Fedora is to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), but that's still a work in progress. The Project Atomic site will eventually be phased away, but it won't be a dramatic move. The code itself will live on in Red Hat's container code repos.
