I read about that too, today. Is there any thought of a Centos atomic spin?
Is this an open source effort by redhat? Or maybe a spin more like CoreOS (
https://coreos.com) which looks like a different (simplified) take on the
same general idea? Both atomic and CoreOS are even more than minimal images
since they are built to do nothing else but run docker containers. I' m
going to give CoreOS a try to see how it's put together; there seem to be a
few good ideas there.
