Open Stack

The lowest common denominator of all COEs is an remarkably low value API that adds considerable complexity to Magnum that will not strategically advance OpenStack. If we instead focus our effort on making the COEs work better on OpenStack, that would be a winning strategy. Support and compliment our various COE ecosystems.

I'm with Adrian on that one. I've attended a lot of container-oriented 
conferences over the past year and my main takeaway is that this new 
crowd of potential users is not interested (at all) in an 
OpenStack-specific lowest common denominator API for COEs. They want to 
take advantage of the cool features in Kubernetes API or the versatility 
of Mesos. They want to avoid caring about the infrastructure provider 
bit (and not deploy Mesos or Kubernetes themselves).

Let's focus on the infrastructure provider bit -- that is what we do and 
what the ecosystem wants us to provide.
