Fedora publishes countme data weekly into a database that can be picked up from here. For the week of 2024-10-06 data it looks like our FCOS node count has increased to over 90k (33.8k transient, 57k long running):
Our architecture breakdown is about 41.1%aarch64 and 58.8%x86_64 showing strong growth for the aarch64 architecture where it was previously at 30.5% of nodes in May 2024.
Our breakdown based on Fedora Linux release shows the majority of users (67.6%) on Fedora Linux 40 most likely with automatic updates enabled and following latest stream updates. We also have a few hundred nodes on next that has been moved to Fedora 41 beta/pre-release content in anticipation of the Fedora 41 release in the coming weeks. Unfortunately we do still have a third of our nodes out there on older/EOL releases. Please do consider re-enabling zincati if you are one of these users!
All my 5 nodes are live booted via PXE and provisioned via HTTP(s)
All of them have /var mount for data persistence
One of them use /var on a soft raid
One of them is in the 0.173% with F41
One of them is a k8s control plane
3 of them are k8s worker nodes (2 stable and 1 next stream)
1 pentium G3220T 16g ; 1 atom D2550 6Go ; 1 atom D525 4Go ; 2 celeron J1900 8Go
What I like :
Ignition configuration that make live boot possible with all services up !
the reactivity of the team about CVE ! (this update came AFAIK 1 hour after release job did start and it has been included)
It’s lightweight but …
What I dislike :
… please, do not add too much packages I run everything in RAM !
and … hum, wait … that’s the backside of having a k8s cluster and a 2 weeks release frequency, kubectl drain --ignore-daemonsets bla bla bla, sudo reboot, kubectl cordon bla bla bla
Well, I really like CoreOS and I promote it every day !
I run everything in RAM !
