The Linux distribution was tested on hundreds of thousands of servers on the alpha and beta channels. The CoreOS operating system is now supported on 10+ platforms, ranging from bare metal to being primary images on Rackspace and Google.
The CoreOS 367.1.0 version includes the following:
- Linux 3.15.2
- Docker 1.0.1

CoreOS’ stable release is not including etcd and fleet as stable, this release is only targeted at the base OS and Docker 1.0, while etcd/fleet stable support will come available in subsequent releases.
Last June, CoreOS announced an $8 million Series A funding round, led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, with follow-on investments from existing investors Sequoia Capital and Fuel Capital.
