> Action and open topics:
> 
> * Updated proposal wiki with personas
> * Discussed whether a single command or multiple commands are needed to
> transform an image (one for build+test, or two)
> ** Believe 1 is sufficient to encapsulate the entire transformation, use
> cases are needed to justify extras.
> * The parent blueprint and wiki page represents the general design and
> philosophy, and specific child blueprints will target exact scenarios for
> milestones
> * [NEXT] Helpful discussion on the injection of artifacts such that the
> transformation script can operator on them.  No clear design, but lots of
> suggestions
> * Strong consensus that the the transformation script should depend on Solum
> or OpenStack concepts - a developer should be able to debug a transformation
> by using the image themselves, or run it outside of Solum.
> * Should anticipate that the transformation environment and execution
> environment might have different resource needs - i.e. Java maven may
> require more memory than Java execution
> * [NEXT] Should the transformation happen inside the environment the app is
> destined for (i.e. able to reach existing deployed resources) or in a
> special build env?
> ** No consensus, arguments for and against
> ** Transformation environments may need external network access, production
> environments may not allow it
> * Transformation should remove or disable debugging or compile tools prior to
> execution for security - this is a recommendation to image authors
> * The final execution environment may dynamically define exposed ports that
> Solum must be aware of
> ** For M1 the recommendation was to focus on upfront definition via metadata
> * [AGREED] No external metadata service would be part of Solum, any metadata
> that needs to be provided to the image during transformation would be done
> via injection and be an argument to prepare
> ** That might be via userdata or docker environment variables and bind
> mounted files
