Hello all,
Currently there is a ticket filed in Taiga[0] that is lacking in
details mostly because I'm not entirely sure what all we need in there
so I wanted to start that discussion here.
The motivation behind this is that we're moving towards a future where
we are shipping content that is in the format of a Docker Layered
Image and I can imagine that we will want to include these as
installable artifacts at compose time for certain things such as
Atomic Host. An example of why we'd want that is so that on a fresh
install from the ISO image there can be a set of services and/or
applications installed without them needing to be pre-baked into the
ostree. This would hopefully allow for more flexibility with the
services and applications to be lifecycled independently of the
operating system.
There's definitely a lot of details to sort out through the entire
stack, but the concept of bringing Layered Images into the fold as
compose artifacts is something I wanted to start discussing among the
group to find out if it is needed and if so, if it's most
appropriately handled by pungi or potentially some other tool.
Thank you,
-AdamM
