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.

The Fedora cloud sig has been talking about using the gnome ostre to deliver a potential platform, i think this is fantastic and leads in quite nicely to the conversations we've all been having about a minimial manageable image ( either for virt or cloud usage, or even baremetal ).
I wonder if we can make this work for CentOS-6 now and 7 when its around ? the rpm-ostree stack seems to have a systemd dep though. Who fancies taking a dig at it ?
references: ostree: https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/OSTree
rpm-ostree: https://github.com/cgwalters/rpm-ostree ( this is what one would use to take a bunch of rpms and make them into an ostree VM, it spits out a qcow2 image )
so, this happened http://projectatomic.io/ - i guess ostree just got some serious traction on the distro level.
I'll post my scripts ( that build, deliver and are able to instantiate an ostree image from rhel7beta1 into either kvm hosts ( or any hvm host ) including AWS HvM instances ( once i get to a proper internet connection ).
