<p><tt><font size="2">Hi Adrian,</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">thanks for the summary during the summit. Some questions on the architecture:</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">What is the purpose of the "model interpreter" within the REST API module? As I see this architecture now, the model interpreter is responsible for parsing the new DSL that you proposed to build up an internal model, right? So is there a need for another model interpreter once we agree on the common format? I'm asking this because I'm a little fuzzy on the distinction between the 'model interpreter' and the 'model processor'. Further, how is the REST API knowing to which engine we need to forward this too (is this federation of Heat engines reflecting the current implementation or is this part of the new architecture)?</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">I was also studying the DSL and added some questions to </font></tt><tt><font size="2"><a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/heat-dsl-questions">https://etherpad.openstack.org/heat-dsl-questions</a>. As I did deeper I will have some more ;).</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">Thanks,</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="2">-Florian</font></tt><br>
