Right, I know that. The confusion here isn't about how Atomic works. The confusion stems from the fact that I thought Atomic was going off to do its own thing, and the Cloud images would be non-Atomic images. If that isn't the case, the OK but I've missed that as well. >> Secondly, isn't a lack of python in the cloud image going to impact >> their ability to be managed via things like >> ansible/puppet/chef/whatever? > > Mainly Ansible...Chef and Puppet both require agents. Sure, but ansible is kind of a big thing to lose by default. josh _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
