I think the Server group was talking about adopting this.

This is going to be an interesting topic...one thing I will say is that at least for *workstation* style things (as opposed to a Chromebook-like system), is that I find using "pet Docker containers" to be really critical; I try to avoid installing things on the host still. So that makes it more like Atomic Host, particularly without Kubernetes (which is very much a server cluster thing and not related to desktops, and not much for embedded servers either). One thing that has certainly been on my mind is whether "Project Atomic" should dissolve more directly into the distributions, a bit like how the "Modularity" effort is more directly part of Fedora. I'm not sure though, because we still need to maintain CentOS builds too. Anyways this is a huge topic =) _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
