Open Stack

Thank you for this explanation, Clint.
Kuberentes gets more and more popular and it would be great if we could also take advantage of it. There are already projects in Openstack that have a mission that aligns with task scheduling, like Mistral, that could possibly support Kubernetes as a backend and this solution could be adopted by other projects. I’d rather think about enriching an existing common project with k8s support, than starting from scratch.
I think it’s a good idea to gather cross-project use cases and expectation to come up with a solution that will be adoptable by all the projects that desire to use while still being generic.

WRT Swift use case – I don’t see what was listed there as excluded from Kubernetes usage, as K8S supports also 1 time jobs [0].

    The console access bit Joanna mentioned is special in that it needs to be
    able to reach things like IPMI controllers. So that's not going to really
    be able to run on a service VM easily. It's totally doable (I think we
    could have achieved it with VTEP switches and OVN when I was playing
    with that), but I can understand why a container solution running on
    the same host as the conductor might be more desirable than service VMs.
