I have one item. I'm planning to spend some time this afternoon at the Fedora Cloud FAD and I wanted to consider pitching a joint effort and change of direction for the Server SIG there, but I'd like to bounce it off of the Server WG beforehand.
tl;dr version: What if we retool Fedora Server going forward as a standalone OpenShift environment and focus the Server and Cloud SIGs to work together on building server roles as OpenShift applications (aka Kubernetes pods).
The idea would be to have a strategy wherein we provide simple tooling (possibly just repurposing the 'rolectl' tool) to set up the server roles using OpenShift under the hood. The long-term strategy would be to develop mechanisms by which someone could start out with a Server providing some functions and then eventually migrate to an Atomic cluster, ideally without significant effort.
This would serve to bring the two SIGs closer together, reduce the amount of independent work being done and more closely align with the public efforts being done by Project Atomic, Red Hat and CentOS.

In most shops deployment of server roles is typically done with something like Ansible, Chef or Puppet and these are pretty much the standard three. Ansible is python based which makes it a good candidate for integration with rolekit. It would interesting if an admin could define roles in a role based Ansible playbook and then rolectl/rolekit could manage the deployment either locally or remotely. The user could also deploy each role to it's own container and configure how they're linked together. This would probably involve writing some custom Ansible modules for rolekit.
Essentially rolectly/rolekit becomes a management layer integrated with Ansible that allows playbook defined roles to be deployed locally/remotely as OpenShift apps.
Let me know if this is technically sound as I'm not that familiar with OpenShift.
