mitchellh, you still haven't answered what is Atlas even after your edit. I think is a safe assumption that people have in fact visited your web site and as such are still asking the question what does this do.

If you note, this is the #1 voted comment and you still have not answered the question.

So please take this as an opportunity clarify succinctly what Atlas does and also push your team towards updating your web site.

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

Atlas is just a unifying web UI for all of their other products, and provides a nice overview for your infrastructure.

I think the screenshots on the homepage can explain what it does easier than anything else.
