+[Container-Optimized OS](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs),
+(previously Google Container-VM image a.k.a GCI) is a container-optimized OS image for the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It is
+primarily for running Google services on GCP. Container-Optimized OS is an open
+source OS based on
+the open source [ChromiumOS project](https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os), allowing us greater control over the build management,
 security compliance, and customizations for GCP.
 
+Container-Optimized OS is [open source](https://cos.googlesource.com), and is released on milestones. Example milestones are
+81, 85. Each milestone will experience three release channels -- dev, beta and stable to reach
+stability. The promotion between those channels are about six weeks.
+Starting milestone 69, for
+every 4 milestones, the last milestone will be promoted into LTS image after it
+becomes stable.
+For details, please see COS's [Release Channels](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/concepts/release-channels)and [Support
+Policy](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/resources/support-policy).
+
+## COS in End-to-End tests
+
+Container-Optimized OS images are used by kubernetes [End-to-End tests](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-testing/e2e-tests.md) and
+[Node End-to-End tests](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/contributors/devel/sig-node). To see current
+active releases, please refer to COS's [Release
+Notes](https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/release-notes). When
+choose images for testing, the latest LTS images is suggested for running
+presubmit, postsubmit or periodics tests since the image is stable and has
+latest bug and security fixes. For testing requiring new features or continuous integration,
+the latest dev or beta or stable channel can be used.
+are needed, the latest LTS images or stables are preferred.
