  1. systemd-fleet, by the original CoreOS folks. https://github.com/coreos/fleet I used this when it was brand new for a bit and it was so incredibly smooth and worked so well. It solved the problem of controlling systemd units remotely so…
  2. Funny, because when we built Fleet ( https://github.com/coreos/fleet/ ) Kubernetes didn't exist.

  3. https://github.com/coreos/fleet I feel like fleet deserved more of a shot than it ultimately got.

  4. …as a managed cloud service. It's a shame it didn't catch on (and also what happened to CoreOS). [0] https://github.com/coreos/fleet

  5. We were working on this at CoreOS before Kubernetes came about – called fleet https://github.com/coreos/fleet . Distributed systemd units run across a cluster, typically running containers or golang binaries with a super minimal OS…

  6. Like https://github.com/coreos/fleet ?

  7. Figure out how to revive https://github.com/coreos/fleet as something native in systemd?

  8. …is essentially the original CoreOS fleet[0] project. It's distributed systemd init files. [0] https://github.com/coreos/fleet#fleet---a-distributed-init-s... I find it ironic half of k8s mojo, etcd, came out of this project as well.

  9. This is roughly correct. The README says it best: https://github.com/coreos/fleet#current-status Also, as you mention there are very compelling reasons that when Kubernetes came on the scene 2 years ago we started contributing heavily…
  10. …liveness. That's pretty hard too! Besides all of aphyr's jepsen test series, check this shit out: https://github.com/coreos/fleet/issues/1289 . Tough! Tough even when you think you know what you're doing. And of course no help against…

  11. …I'm 5 what's the difference between those cluster schedulers and something like CoreOS' fleet ( https://github.com/coreos/fleet )?
    comment by sysk · 2015-06-01 · in Mesos, Omega, Borg: A Survey
  12. CoreOS already has a project named Fleet[0]. [0] - https://github.com/coreos/fleet
  13. …JSON schema fan, we use it in a number of APIs to make client bindings code generated. For example: https://github.com/coreos/fleet/blob/master/schema/v1.json Update: Sorry, I thought you were taking a look at the appc spec, would…

  14. …there is CoreOS's fleet system, although this is more low level and would still need orchestration: https://github.com/coreos/fleet

  16. We're actively working on fixing the fleet state management problems. It's been a pain for us, too. https://github.com/coreos/fleet/pull/638

  17. …I love the separation of concerns that is provided. IMHO, the weakest part of CoreOS is fleet ( https://github.com/coreos/fleet ). Compared to the other components in the stack, it just feels very inelegant. The systemd configuration…

  18. …your cluster, or view logs, or really manage the cluster at all. Looking at the fleet source code ( https://github.com/coreos/fleet ), it looks like swapping out etcd for consul would take a lot more effort than 'sed -i -e…
