On its journey to become an integration engine of cloud technologies, OpenStack has been actively incubating many technologies related to containers. However, containers are yet to be treated as first class citizens on OpenStack. In other words, it may not be sufficient to just bridge the existing OpenStack services to other container technologies.
In this talk, the presenters will share their visions and experiences on managing container clusters directly using OpenStack native services. The goal of the work is to explore the feasibility to treat containers as first class citizens in OpenStack rather than above OpenStack. A comprehensive support to containers will help ease the development, testing, deployment and management of containers considering that, for example, users have to work with Python, Go, Java, C, Scalar code in different projects.
