Fedora Cloud website ideas?

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi :)

Since Atomic will be the primary focus of this WG (F24+,) the 
presentation of the Atomic and cloud images on the main Fedora website 
should be updated to reflect that. (See [1] and [2].)

Last week, Matthew and I talked about how we might do this; the idea we 
thought might work best is the following:

--

- Consider replacing the “Cloud” edition slot on the front of 
getfedora.org with a Fedora “Atomic” edition brand.


- Convert getfedora.org/cloud to focus instead solely on Atomic (maybe 
redoing the URL to getfedora.org/atomic.


- Build out a separate cloud image resource site (similar to 
arm.fedoraproject.org, which is focused on all ARM-related builds across 
Fedora) with the full set of Cloud Base images (and maybe Fedora Docker 
containers too?) Then, pull these in to the Atomic edition site via a 
link in the “Other Downloads” section. (cross link back to atomic from 
cloud.fpo too.)

I find it hard to understand if something like this might work without 
visuals, so I put together a (very, super-duper, fantastically rough) 
mockup for this new cloud.fedoraproject.org:

https://github.com/fedoradesign/fedora-spins/blob/master/cloud/cloud-mockup_front-page.png

I pretty much just threw it into the arm.fpo template; it's quite a bit 
more cluttered in terms of instructions / explanation needed for various 
image types than arm.fpo, so I think the layout should be reconfigured 
quite a bit to get rid of the cluttered feel.


That being said -

- Do you think a site like this for the base cloud images would work 
well, given enough prominence on the main Fedora website as well as the 
Atomic product site? Is this the kind of list of images/AMIs a cloud 
image user is going to find most helpful?

- Should the docker image live on here? Or would that be better served 
by a more generic 'other images' site for Fedora images?

- Is the installable image a cloud base image or an atomic image? Who 
would use it and why? Does it belong here as well?
