With Fedora 27, we ship Atomic Host on multiple architectures which includes aarch64, ppc64le, and x86_64. We also provide Atomic Host updates for these arches every two weeks so that we can provide a tested, stable, and up-to-date OS. Fedora Atomic Host is built using traditional RPM packages available in the Fedora repository. For example, Fedora 27 Atomic Host is formed using packages from the Fedora 27 repository which are further composed into OSTree repository using rpm-ostree. It is possible to compose and host your own custom-built OSTree repository containing additional features. This article will further guide you on how to compose your own custom OSTree repository and update system from your own hosted OSTree repo.

Last week, the CentOS Atomic SIG released an updated version of CentOS Atomic Host (7.1711), a lean operating system designed to run Linux containers, built from standard CentOS 7 RPMs, and tracking the component versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host.
This release rolls up a handful of minor CentOS updates from the past month. The core Atomic component versions are unchanged from those in the previous release (7.1710).

This is a large update as it is the first update in Fedora 27. Included are new kernel, systemd, ostree, rpm-ostree, and atomic CLI. Future updates should be quite a bit smaller than this.
We are releasing images from multiple architectures but please note that x86_64 architecture is the only one that undergoes automated testing at this time.
