history

The project became known in August 2013 through an article in Wired magazine in which they presented themselves with a little irony as a garage start-up and which was picked up by many media around the world. Founded by Alex Polvi, who was previously a system administrator at OSU Open Source Lab and founder of Cloudclick , Brandon Philips, who also came from the Open Source Lab and was later hired by Greg Kroah-Hartman of SUSE , and Michael Marineau, who was also at the Open Source Lab started and moved to ITA Software. ITA Software was later acquired by Google. The jointly founded start-up CoreOS Inc. was supported by Y Combinator from the start . After being purchased by Red Hat on January 30, 2018 for $ 250 million, CoreOS was discontinued as a standalone project on May 26, 2020. The further development takes place as Fedora CoreOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS).
