Launch FAQ: Does Fedora CoreOS replace Container Linux? What happens to CL?

Fedora CoreOS will eventually become the successor to Container Linux. The Container Linux project has a large installed base - it is a top priority to not disrupt that. The project will continue to be supported at least throughout 2019, allowing users ample time to migrate and provide feedback. Existing Container Linux users can be confident that support will continue while the next version is being created in parallel, in a non-disruptive way.

Considering 2019 is ending in a few weeks, and Fedora CoreOS isn’t available yet, does this timeline still stand?

We plan to maintain Container Linux into the first half of 2020. An exact end-of-life date has not yet been set, and we’ll announce one as soon as we have it.
