Unlike our open source projects, Atlas is not shipping any foundational new functionality; it is unifying our open source projects into a single solution with a UI, security (ACLs, audits), workflow, etc. This differentiates it in being a commercial product and we feel this is a really clean way to do it. We've avoided any open core awkwardness and our business model is clear. To put it another way, we use an analogy internally here at HashiCorp: our open source are our "nuts and bolts" that you can grab off the shelf and be very successful with in building robust systems, but Atlas is the complete car or house (built up from these nuts and bolts) that you can purchase.
