If anyone from Digital Ocean is reading this, please help if you can! A lot of developers really want to check out CoreOS, and having it supported on DO would help so much. Let us give you money!
We are reading this and we will be helping soon. We met with Alex Polvi when he stopped our office a few weeks ago and we discussed integrating CoreOS.
Given how their file systems are laid out and a couple of other items on their side as well as that we are building out a metadata service that will be launching soon we thought it would be best to wait on the integration until after the metadata service was ready.
This way we could use it to integrate with CoreOS and make the deployment process a lot simpler.
Alex has been super helpful offering a lot of support to help us get this done and we are very excited to move forward, but we thought it would be better to do it right with the metadata service instead of launching it without that, knowing that we would have to rebuild the way the image was being provisioned and every early adopter of CoreOS would then need to redeploy their droplets.
Because we have a lot of projects in flight at the same time I don't have an ETA and we've certainly found it difficult to give product release estimates when we are also in high growth mode because there are always many interruptions and reprioritizations that happen on the fly every week but I'm hopeful that this one launching this quarter.
