Flatcar open source project is accepted into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) - a community-owned cloud native Linux OS

Pretty amazing, this is the first time the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has adopted an operating system distribution.

As Chris Aniszczyk rightly put it: “A secure community-owned cloud native operating system was one of the missing layers of the CNCF technology stack".

Flatcar provides a lightweight Linux OS (derived from CoreOS) specifically tailored for hosting container workloads.

Here's the CNCF announcement for more details:
