Spent the day chatting with a bunch of Fedora Atomic users today.
Some pain points that came out of todays discussions:
- kubernetes versions
* sometimes we have lagged behind upstream in Fedora and this has
caused some pain. They are on board with containerized
kubernetes as a solution to this problem.
- installing small operating system agents
* have some small agents that need to run as a daemon on the host
some solutions:
^ build own ostree - more maintenance
^ package layer - requires reboot
^ run in container - large containers for small agents
^ run as container that acutally bind mounts in host directories
` very small container with just the agent
` when container runs it bind mounts in software from the
host. i.e. using the hosts python stack. I don't know if
this will work but just thought of it as we were talking
today.
` i'm sure this may be a bad idea on several levels.
- pre-loading containers on system startup
* there is a need for being able to load containers on system
startup into the container runtime. I think jlebon already
worked on something like this maybe. Either way the idea is that
we have a service that looks in a certain directory in the
filesystem for container images and loads them into the runtime
on startup and then deletes those images (or not depending on
configuration). One could start a cloud image and mount a volume
that these images are already loaded into. One could crack open
the qcow and cp the files in, etc. Doesn't matter how they get
to the "pre-defined" location, we'll import them.
