A-ha, ok! I figured this was another option. In this case I guess we would
have 2 options:

1. Run confd + openstack service in side the container. My concern in this
case
would be that we'd have to run 2 services inside the container and structure
things in a way we can monitor both services and make sure they are both
running. Nothing impossible but one more thing to do.

2. Run confd `-onetime` and then run the openstack service.


Either would work but #2 means we won't have config files monitored and the
container would have to be restarted to update the config files.

Thanks, Doug.
