Hello folks,

Not long ago we had a discussion on unified guest agent [1] - a way for
performing actions 'inside' VMs. Such thing is needed for PaaS projects for
tasks such as application reconfiguration and user requests pass-through.

As a proof of concept I've made os_collect_config as a guest agent [2]
based on the design proposed in [1].

Now I am focused on making an agent for Savanna. I'd like to invite
everyone to review the initial my initial CR [3]. All subsequent changes
will be listed as dependent on this one.

This is going to be a more complex thing then os_collect_config rewrite.
For instance, here we need to handle agent installation and configuration.
Also I am going to check what can be done for more fine grained
authorization.

Also Sergey Lukjanov and me proposed a talk on the agent, so feel free to
vote for it in case you're interested.

Thanks,

Dmitry
