Atomic uses rpm-ostree, which looks similar to Omaha from a client perspective (update, roll back to previous version): http://www.projectatomic.io/docs/os-updates/

is there an alternative to locksmith? the "automatic" update (https://coreos.com/os/docs/latest/update-strategies.html) and/or https://github.com/coreos/container-linux-update-operator?

basically on coreos I don't need to run "rpm-ostree" to have an updated system. it is actually updated automatically.

And importantly, you can control updates across a whole cluster by limiting how many machines are allowed to update simultaneously.

I just can't get a decent "This is how to get started" from windows guide with atomic. It's all assuming I'm perfectly happy on linux. Not to knock it, but I just want to start some VMs on hyper-v and have a go.

This is good feedback. I'll bring it to the Fedora docs team.
