From the front-page:

> The Kinvolk Update Service allows for defining instance groups, assigning update channels and controlling the frequency, time of day and rate of updates.

What is this? From a quick glance I don't see it mentioned elsewhere. A hosted service? Something with a different license?

The update server supports the Omaha protocol, is called Nebraska and is available here under an Apache license: https://github.com/kinvolk/nebraska

Our team hosts the public server, but any Flatcar user can run Nebraska themselves and point their nodes to that.

Thanks for the feedback :) Apparently there's always room to improve our docs. A maintainer has taken a stab on that (see https://github.com/flatcar/flatcar-website/pull/263 for progress) and we'll update our docs shortly.
