== How does Fedora CoreOS relate to Fedora Bootc?

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/[Fedora Bootc] is

https://containers.github.io/bootable/[bootable containers]. The goal is to
eventually have Fedora CoreOS build on top of Fedora Bootc both literally and in
the broader sense of being part of the same ecosystem. The roadmap for this can
be found https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1726[on GitHub].

Fedora CoreOS adds
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/update-streams/[a stream model],
platform-specific integration and disk images, provisioning via Ignition, and
more tooling around automatic updates. The goal is also to have Fedora CoreOS
integrate more strongly with the Kubernetes ecosystem.

If you find yourself needing to heavily customize Fedora CoreOS beyond what
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/os-extensions/[OS extensions]
provide, it might make more sense to instead build on top of Fedora Bootc
directly. It will eventually be possible to layer Ignition and e.g. Zincati
on top if desired. These tools are intended to be used generically and are not
strictly tied to Fedora CoreOS.
