<div>Hello Everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>DefCore committee would like to hear your input on this issue: <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244782/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/244782/</a></div>
<div>The issue is not really vendor specific. At the heart of the issue is this question: for interoperability reasons, should certified OpenStack powered compute clouds be able to boot a Linux VM? And if so, would OpenStack based clouds running only Linux
based containers be excluded? How about bare metal clouds?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please comment, and let me know if you have any questions.</div>
