What COE's are being considered for the first implementation? Just docker and kubernetes?

- Is the nova side going to be implemented in the form of a Nova driver (like
ironic's?)? What do you mean by APIs here?

- What operations are we expecting this to support (just CRUD operations on
containers?)?

I can see this driver being useful for specialized services like Trove but I'm
curious/concerned about how this will be used by end users (assuming that's the
goal).

Are you aware of https://review.openstack.org/#/c/249282/ ?

Any link to what this proxy will do and what service it'll talk to? I'd
generally advice against having proxy calls in services. We've just done work in
Nova to deprecate the Nova Image proxy.

It sounds you've got more than enough to work on for now, I think it's fine to
table these topics for now.
