I'm not sure why you think this is a pivot. CoreOS, the company's name, is a bit of misnomer now. Their original product, CoreOS, is their namesake and a good foundation for the rest of their platform. As a company, they've been putting out a number of products, such as etcd, fleet, flannel, and more. It seems that Clair is another product under their umbrella. So it's not a pivot, it's just another product as a part of their larger offering. CoreOS's products are all open-source and openly developed, which is awesome. They make their money from their managed service offerings, such as Quay.io container registry (which Clair seems to bolster), CoreOS managed linux, and Tectonic (Kubernetes as a service). So each product announcement you see is another facet of CoreOS's larger offering. |
