-# Atomic host bootstrap
-
-Atomic host testing has been done with the network plugin flannel. Change the inventory var `kube_network_plugin: flannel`.
-
-Note: Flannel is the only plugin that has currently been tested with atomic
-
-## Vagrant
-
-* For bootstrapping with Vagrant, use box centos/atomic-host or fedora/atomic-host
-* Update VagrantFile variable `local_release_dir` to `/var/vagrant/temp`.
-* Update `vm_memory = 2048` and `vm_cpus = 2`
-* Networking on vagrant hosts has to be brought up manually once they are booted.
-
-    ```ShellSession
-    vagrant ssh
-    sudo /sbin/ifup enp0s8
-    ```
-
-* For users of vagrant-libvirt download centos/atomic-host qcow2 format from <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download/>
-* For users of vagrant-libvirt download fedora/atomic-host qcow2 format from <https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/atomic/stable/>
-
-Then you can proceed to [cluster deployment](#run-deployment)
