Minutes:

• usability of spec (crosbymichael)
  • spent the week
  • defaults are pretty sane, for devices
  • nothing stood out as needing to be conceptually revisited
  • readibility of the spec on the site
    • subdirectories
    • and have a top down approach, for clarity to readers
    • spec.md -> [bundle & rootfs -> config -> runtime]
• Validation and changes to go code/protocol buffers
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/issues/166
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/135
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/185
  • like having the schema outside of the golang source
  • need to investigate JSON marshalling (protobuf v3)
• clarity from the charter put into specs project
  • heads up of lining up a “mission” in the specs project with the current charter
• hypervisor accommodations
  • block devices and passthrough. whether or not 9p’like options are feasible.
    • 9p works, and is what runv does currently, however, the performance of 9p is not as good as block devices. It would be better if we allow the user configure it as both dir in filesystem or block device (either local device or network device such as ceph rbd).
• misc tools
  • generator (https://github.com/mrunalp/ocitools )/ validate config (https://github.com/huawei-openlab/oct/tree/master/tools/bundleValidator) / validate env (runtime) https://github.com/huawei-openlab/oct/tree/master/tools/specsValidator
  • appc actool and oct and octool as reference
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/labels/component%2Foctool

Actions:

• vbatts - top down spec approach, and high level overview
  • (RobDolin volunteers to help VBatts if he wants the help :) )
• vbatts - json encoding from protobuf and protobuf 3
• Carry the hypervisor discussion on to the mailing-list and next week’s
• brandon - summarize discussion on bundle identity
• mrunal - review oct patterns of environment and/or write an initial environment validation tool, to be run as a bundle.
