It would be great on one machine. First, it's a lightweight host for docker containers, like less than half the size, so you can do more with that single machine.
Second, if it ever turns out you _need_ a second machine, you have room to grow, other than just getting a bigger box.
I am really surprised as CoreOS is super new to a lot of people and yet they managed to convince Google and Amazon to provide an image. That's amazing...
Sure are! On the home page ( https://coreos.com ) you'll find links to directions for various providers from EC2 & Rackspace to OpenStack & Vagrant. Each has the exact directions that will get you started with least effort (including image ids where appropriate and URLs otherwise).

I'm anxiously waiting for it to come to DigitalOcean. But the momentum they built now seems to be really strong.
Same, but it's been a year so far since the initial request opened so...
Would it make sense to use CoreOS on just one machine or is it only useful with multiple machines?

Are the official images on EC2 or any of the other cloud compute platforms?

Why no one is discussing this? Just curious. Is it a bug?
Why is pretty much no one using Google Compute Engine? That's the interesting question.
there was a posting about the blog article earlier, i think this looks to much like a repost.
