CoreOS released today rkt (pronounced Rock-it) 1.0, providing container users with an alternative runtime to Docker.
CoreOS first announced rkt in December 2014 after dissatisfaction arose with the state of the Docker runtime. While rkt is a competitor to the Docker runtime, users will still be able to run application containers that have been built with Docker tools.
