[$] An overview of Project Atomic

Terms like "cloud-native" and "web scale" are often usedand understood as pointless buzzwords. Under the layers of marketing, though,cloud systems do work best with a new and different way of thinking about systemadministration. Much of the tool set used for cloud operations is freesoftware, and Linux is the platform of choice for almost all cloud applications. While just about any distribution can be made to work, there areseveral projects working to create a ground-up system specifically for cloudhosts. One of the best known of these is Project Atomic from Red Hat and theFedora Project.
