The Cloud Edition of the Fedora 22 Beta Linux operating system was officially unveiled on April 21, along with all of Fedora's Spins, including Fedora 22 Server, Fedora 22 Workstation (GNOME), Fedora 22 KDE Plasma 5, Fedora 22 Xfce, Fedora 22 LXDE, and Fedora 22 MATE/Compiz.

The Beta edition of Fedora 22 Cloud Edition comes with the latest releases of the rpm-ostree-toolbox and rpm-ostree tools, allowing users to generate their own Atomic hosts using a custom set of packages. Users will be able to manage Atomic Host container settings and updates via the new Atomic command.

A Vagrant image has been added to the Fedora 22 Atomic Host, designed to be compatible with both Oracle VirtualBox and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine). The Vagrant boxes enable users to run Vagrant images on Fedora and other mainstream operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

“Building on the work of Fedora 21 Cloud, Fedora 22 Cloud Beta brings in a number of improvements that makes Fedora 22 an excellent choice for running Linux in a cloud computing environment,” was stated in the official release announcement for Fedora 22 Beta.

You can download the Fedora 22 Beta Cloud Edition right now via Softpedia. When installing it, please keep in mind the fact that this is a pre-release version that's not suitable for deployment in production environments where stability is a must.
