May be Tomas can shed some light here on cockpit,

Along with CIM-RS, pegasus will also have a capability to server static pages,
Through this interface, we will have a limited version of webadmin will allow to administer

cimserver.

and if this ability can help users to remove an extra web server( Does cockpit fell in this category? May be you can educate me),

It will be great.

If it does not meet your current requirement, we can together work to make it work.

We know about it and that is actually one of the approaches we would like to
explore: Cockpit relies heavily on JavaScript running on the client (browser)
so the REST API is definitely something that might make the Cockpit
integration more "natural". At least... I hope so.

Right now all the CIM infrastructure would be in many ways parallel to the
native D-Bus/JSON ssh-tunnelled Cockpit protocol:

The REST API might be more flexible and allow more interesting things to be
developed. (I can imagine custom UI modules, etc.)
