CoreOS
- As of May 26, 2020, Alibaba Cloud no longer provides technical support for ECS instances that use the CoreOS Container Linux operating system. However, you can still use existing ECS instances that run this operating system.
- After September 30, 2020, you are unable to use CoreOS Container Linux public images provided by Alibaba Cloud to create ECS instances.
- As of May 26, 2020, CoreOS Container Linux can continue to be used on instances on which it is already installed. However, no security patches are available because the operating system has reached its end of life. For security purposes, we recommend that you no longer use CoreOS Container Linux images.
- Alibaba Cloud has released Fedora CoreOS public images. The Fedora CoreOS community recommends that you use Fedora CoreOS in place of CoreOS Container Linux.
For information about the release notes of historical CoreOS versions, see the "CoreOS" section of Release notes for 2020.
