Hey Everyone, Last week the Devtools Deploy team had a meeting to discuss our goals around Ansible and Atomic App, based on the requirements coming from our PM and engineering teams. We are concerned that we have too many tools in this space - in particular we think that we end up spending a lot of time explaining the differences between these tools, rather than working on solving real use cases.
We think that Ansible itself has an interesting end-to-end story for people looking to deploy applications, and we think that working with Ansible, and in particular the ansible-container project could solve a number of the use cases we want to look at. As one of our first goals we want to bring some of the deployment support we have in Atomic App to ansible container - we intend to make PRs based on our experience. We are hoping to become tightly integrated with their team and share the same roadmap when it comes to that tool. We also want to get more involved in existing upstream communities that are centered around Kubernetes/OpenShift. We have already started to get involved with the Kompose project [1] and we want to evaluate Helm [2] packaging and how it relates to Kompose and see where the good things about Nulecule can be brought to the table there. As a result of focusing on Ansible and Kompose/Helm for the next 6 months, it does mean we will slow down our work on Atomic App. One thing we do want to do is merge the Nulecule and Atomic App repositories so that it is less confusing to approach that project. We'll be merging the Nulecule repository into the Atomic App repository and Nulecule will become an implementation detail for Atomic App. After the merge we'll let it rest for a while and re-evaluate it in some time.
