CoreOS joining Red Hat means automated operations are coming to all. In other words, both companies will work together to expand Kubernetes, the open-source system for automating scaling, deployment, and management of containerized applications in business environments, as well as to innovate in containers and distributed systems. Red Hat’s acquisition of CoreOS will also accelerate the adoption and development of the best hybrid cloud platform available to date for modern application workloads, whose demand continues to grow every day. Red Hat is already a leader in enabling enterprises around the globe to embrace container-based apps with its Red Hat OpenShift enterprise-ready and comprehensive Kubernetes platform.
