Personally, I would like we can stay at Fedora Atomic/CoreOS since
Magnum has already been benefited from the container-based readonly
operating system. But we did have the discussion about using
kubeadm+ansible, however, as you can see, it's a quite big refactoring,
I'm not sure if we can get it done with current limited resources.
According to some notes from Magnum Train PTG meeting there is plan to move all drivers out of tree. Despite there is no time schedule for that we started to work on Ubuntu K8s driver which is completely independent to openstack/magnum project and which is based on kubeadm, Heat SW Deployments and external Openstack cloud provider. So we do not think there is much refactoring needed. At the moment it is under heavy development, however, at some point we plan to open the source and we will certainly appreciate any help.
