In an effort to continue guiding the Community App Catalog in the right direction, I'd love to get feedback from the members of these lists regarding what an "OpenStack Application" looks like to YOU. Getting some consensus around this will be a huge benefit to the App Dev working group, the App Catalog, as well as the entire OpenStack ecosystem in my opinion.
When we started the App Catalog the intention was to be as open as possible with respect to "what" went into the catalog. At that time the three most obvious types of assets to include were Murano packages, Heat templates and Glance images. Since then we've been working on including TOSCA templates and Mistral workflows as well. For the sake of providing applications that run on OpenStack clouds, is this the right focus and mix? Or would we benefit more by thinking about standard packaging approaches, and focusing the App Catalog more tightly around that vs. the current view which is "all the things that can run on an OpenStack cloud" Are there other types of packaged applications we might be missing out on? Are there other catalogs we should be drawing inspiration from? I haven't seen any obvious parallels with other clouds or application catalogs, but if you know of any please share and enlighten me :) -Christopher _______________________________________________ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators
