Users deploy what DigitalOcean refers to as “Droplets,” which are virtual instances of operating systems. The new partnership now brings the CoreOS operating system as an image that DigitalOcean customers can easily deploy as a Droplet.

“Similar to DigitalOcean’s other OS offerings, users simply choose the CoreOS image on the Droplet creation page and can spin up a CoreOS server instantly,” Alex Polvi, CEO of CoreOS, told eWEEK.
