Welcome to the first issue of “This Month in Fedora CoreOS”. In these posts, we will give a regular overview of notable things that have happen in Fedora CoreOS.
Releases
January was a busy month in terms of releases, other than the regular biweekly releases we had to push 2 ad-hoc releases. Both happened for our next and testing streams. The first one was needed after we realized that some AWS instances failed to boot with a newer kernel and the second one was to fast track the security fixes related to a polkit (CVE-2021-4034) and kernel CVE (CVE-2021-45469).
Updates
In January we have finalized moving our build pipeline from the CentOS CI infrastructure to the Fedora Infrastructure. This is a great milestone that allows us to be in the same infrastructure as the rest of Fedora’s build systems.
We have also discussed a more concrete proposal to provide release notes with each of our releases. Hopefully more to come on this soon 
Coming up we are also switching iptables in Fedora CoreOS to use the NFT backend in the next few months. More Info
