What makes me sad is that they have been iterating on the site heavily over the past six months, yet they're still dealing with a large amount of confusion about what Atlas even does. I am all in on the Hashicorp stack (we use Vagrant, Packer, Terraform and Consul) and really want this product to succeed, but I am still confused about why I would use it.

edit: as far as I can tell, Atlas is designed for teams to better coordinate infrastructure changes. You can see when someone is building new images in Packer, or deploying changes via Terraform. You can audit these changes, and avoid conflicts
