CoreOS Announces Competitor To Docker

New submitter fourbadgers writes: CoreOS, the start-up making the CoreOS Linux distribution, has announced Rocket, a container management system that's an alternative to Docker. CoreOS is derived from Chrome OS and has a focus on lightweight virtualization based on Linux containers. The project has been a long-time supporter of Docker, but saw the need for a simpler container system after what was seen as scope-creep in what Docker provides.

Fuck me.

Oh, fuck. I'm going to in to work tomorrow, and our resident Ruby on Rails weeny will have a fat, stiff boner over this technology. He'll be ranting and raving about how amazing it is, even if he's never used it. The old FreeBSD and Solaris admins will scowl at this rube and how he's getting excited over technology they had available to them 15 to 20 years ago. The even older guys who worked on mainframes will chuckle, thinking back fondly to the days when they first encountered this type of technology, so many decades ago. Six months from now, after the Ruby on Rails dickweed has convinced our manager to use this technology in production, I'll get a call in the middle of the night because it's all fucked up and broken. I'll have to waste my night fixing it, while our resident Ruby on Rails pecker is reading all about the next fad he'll use to fuck over the rest of us with.

"CoreOS" is the kernel and UNIX services layer of iOS and Mac OS X.

Actually, Core OS is.

Yeah....
