The Atlas post-processor for Packer receives an artifact from a Packer build and The artifice post-processor overrides the artifact list from an upstream builder
uploads it to Atlas. Atlas hosts and serves artifacts, allowing you to version or post-processor. All downstream post-processors will see the new artifacts you
and distribute them in a simple way. specify. The primary use-case is to build artifacts inside a packer builder --
for example, spinning up an EC2 instance to build a docker container -- and then
extracting the docker container and throwing away the EC2 instance.
