  1. HashiCorp also has a pretty complete solution called Atlas : https://www.hashicorp.com/ ( different from the Netflix Atlas http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/12/introducing-atlas-netfli... ) Joyent's Triton looks cool: https://www.joyent.com/ as does CoreOS's Tectonic (built on top of k8s): https://tectonic.com/

  7. Interesting thing about that survey is that it covers PaaS solutions (Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, etc) on top of OpenStack. Other folks seem to be going in the other direction using PaaS to deploy OpenStack. https://tectonic.com/openstack/ http://www.tcpcloud.eu/en/blog/2016/06/27/making-openstack-p...

  15. such an interesting thread, thanks for bringing this up! At Packet, we've been working to support CoreOS and their Distributed Trusted Computing ( https://tectonic.com/trusted-computing/ ) for our on-demand bare metal product. This relies on UEFI vs traditional BIOS. Reading up on this I've certainly learned a ton! A good background article I read was https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/01/25/uefi-boot-how-does-...

  19. rkt can already download and run OCI (draft) container images[0]. As for Kubernetes rkt support: it is usable today and continues to develop nicely. If you want to try it out on your laptop it is super easy with minikube: https://tectonic.com/blog/minikube-and-rkt.html Overall, the rkt support is in a good spot, works today, and the team is working on how to make all of the corners of Kubernetes work flawlessly.
