Can we try to consistently say "Atomic Host" when we mean that?
There's a number of things under the projectatomic/ umbrella now,
and while I know it's convenient often to shorthand, at least in
semi-official text like this I think it's worth spelling out.

Also, "the image" is a bit misleading because in contrast to the
traditional cloud image, Atomic Host also supports bare metal and
soon PXE-to-Live which is a stateless approach to bare metal.

Something like s/atomic cloud image/Atomic Host model/ ?

Random aside...I think it'd also be useful to improve ImageFactory
so it's more convenient to use, and have it be an official part of the
Cloud WG and promoted.  A lot of advanced consumers have been baking their
own images for quite a while for many reasons, and IMO we should
better support that.

I.e. make this better:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-cloud-base.ks#n12

Also worth noting the Atomic Host model really wants the Docker image
to work, so having it be in a separate group is slightly strange.  Not
a big deal though.
