I've just begun looking into and playing with CoreOS. Basically, it's a minimal Linux image with Docker, service discovery using the `etcd` daemon they've written in Go, and several interesting properties. The most interesting is their use of the ChromiumOS build tools, allowing them to one day update servers the same way e.g. ChromeOS is updated--using the Omaha protocol to push raw binary diffs of the new root FS.
