A
A
The
point
rocket
is
joining
CNC
F
and
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
give
a
little
context
on
where
rocket
has
been
and
where
it's
going
so
rocket
started
in
2014
and
then
hit
a
1
dot
o
in
2016,
as
it
got
a
number
of
different
production
use
cases
under
its
belt.
The
reason
we
built
rocket
was
that
we
wanted
a
pot
native,
secure
and
composable
container
engine
and
then
also
we
wanted
to
drive
this
conversation
around
containers
and
standards,
which
has
been
a
conversation.
A
A
So
one
thing
I
want
to
just
point
out,
because
it's
often
a
point
of
confusion
is
that
rocket
is
not
a
new
image,
format,
etc,
etc.
It's
able
to
execute
OCI
and
docker
images
fully
supported
and
execute
those
just
no
problem.
The
thing
that
makes
rocket
a
little
unique
is
that
it's
Process
Model
it
executes
directly
as
a
child
process
of
whatever
called
it,
which
is
how
most
classic
Linux
processes
work.
I'll,
not
dive
into
details
of
how
the
whole
thing
works.
A
But
what
this
means
in
practice
is
that
rocket
is
really
simple
to
integrate
into
existing
systems.
So
we've
seen
things
like
Nomad
and
mesas,
which
already
know
how
to
execute
processes
be
able
to
adopt
and
use
containers
and
container
images
inside
of
those
systems,
as
well
as
people
putting
it
in
system
these
service
files,
if
all
they
need,
is
one
or
two
little
containers
on
their
host.
You
can
also
put
it
into
shell
scripts
and
use
it
like
you.
A
Would
any
other
command
now
I'm
happy
to
say
that
rocket
over
the
last
couple
of
years
has
gotten
a
lot
of
contributions.
We
have
big
notable
contributions
from
organizations
like
Ken,
Volk
and
Intel
180
contributors.
Overall,
we
obviously
have
a
lot
of
github
stars.
The
primary
metric
of
open-source
software
today
for
better
or
for
worse-
and
we
do
bimonthly
or
twice
twice
monthly
releases.
A
So
the
reason
that
we're
excited
to
put
rocket
into
the
C&C
F
is
that
is
a
neutral
and
respected
home
for
open-source
projects,
and
we
hope
that
it
will
expand
our
contributor
base
and
then,
as
has
been
mentioned
a
few
times
already
this
morning,
containers
are
really
the
foundation
of
cloud
native.
They
are
the
unit
of
compute
that
allows
it
allows
applications.
A
The
reason
that
there's
five
left
is
some
things
are
tricky,
so
rocket
can
run
on
top
of
any
Linux
distro.
So
if
you're
using
Linux
a
show
of
hands
and
people
use
Linux
in
the
room,
if
you're
using
Linux
you're
able
to
get
rocket
running
on
your
system,
we
build
rpms
and
Deb's
on
every
release
and
then
there's
native
packages
for
pretty
much
everything,
including
distres,
that
I
hadn't
heard
about
until
I
read
the
docs
the
native
packages
like
void
Linux.
A
So
what's
next,
we
hope
to
foster
further
interoperability
of
containers
with
kubernetes
and
our
work
in
the
OCI,
and
we
are
really
excited
to
have
new
people
join
the
project
so
check
out
rock
at
I/o,
which
will
take
you
to
the
github
page
and
then
tomorrow,
we'll
have
a
salon
where
a
bunch
of
folks
from
the
rocket
community
will
be
around
to
answer
your
questions
and
help
you
get
started.
That
will
happen
at
3:40
p.m.
in
a
8.
So
continue
the
conversation
and
please
join
us.
Thanks.
