A high level introduction to Project Atomic and Cockpit for Docker container deployment and management. This tutorial covers obtaining the qcow2 image from projectatomic.io, deploying it in Openstack, enabling the Cockpit Web UI, starting a Docker container, and controlling that container from Cockpit.
CORRECTIONS:
Project Atomic is not a "thin fedora system image". It does not have a package manager (i.e. yum) and most of the filesystem is read-only. It is a thin docker runtime environment, plus things like cockpit and geard, that can be upgraded atomically using rpm-ostree.

Installing Openstack using RDO:
