Hi,
I have been recently experimenting with the stable stream of FCOS.
I just wanted to confirm: is there a LTS commitment for Fedora CoreOS. Before using it in
production want to be sure it will be supported for a considerable amount of time. Like
Project Atomic and Container Linux if there is chance of project being dropped then it
becomes risky to consider it for production. Can you confirm what is the minimum support
commitment for Fedora CoreOS?
Thanks.

Hi Akshay,
Thanks for trying out Fedora CoreOS!
Similar to other editions of Fedora, Fedora CoreOS has no commitments (including LTS
commitments). In other words, there is no legal obligation that requires the project
to continue. That usually happens when contracts get signed and money changes hands.
On the other hand, while there is no legal obligation for the project, Fedora CoreOS
is the upstream to RHEL CoreOS, which is the core of OpenShift. You cannot get recent
versions of OpenShift without RHEL CoreOS. All of this is to say, if it's safe to
assume
Fedora will continue because RHEL will continue, it should be safe to assume Fedora
CoreOS
will continue because RHEL CoreOS (part of OpenShift) will continue.
I hope this helps,
Dusty
