RANCHEROS 1.0.0
A major release for the minimalist distro that focuses on running Docker containers has emerged. The idea behind the distro is to keep the footprint of the OS as small as possible, so your machine can commit as many resources as possible to the containers. According to the official blurb: “Key features of RancherOS include: minimalist OS – eliminates the need for unnecessary libraries and services; automatic configuration – simplifies OS configuration by using cloud-init to parse the cloudconfig files from multiple data sources; simple setup – runs services inside containers orchestrated using Docker Compose service files, making setup as simple as running a Docker container.” To find out more, and to download, head to http://rancher. com/press-release-rancheros-ga.
