Hello,

I am using Atomic Host Platforms and found a important utility missing - ‘atomic’ command. As you might be aware, the Atomic Host is a restricted platform to run only containers and atomic command provides ways to manage the platform including installing new containers.

Sample Usage:  
`

- name:Upgrade the atomic host platform  
atomic: command=host state=upgrade

- name:Install rhel-tools container  
atomic: command=install image=‘rhel7/rhel-tools’

`

I have pasted the code on the here [1], very pre-mature.

It would be great to know the feedback on the proposed module. Please comment, based on which I will proceed further.

Regards,  
Saravanan KR
