Workflow like\r\n\r\n1. agent builds initial XML\r\n2. if external transformer script is provided, agent passes XML to transform it.\r\n3. agent receives back transformed XML\r\n4. agent launches XML\r\n\r\nPurpose:\r\n- pass raw devices like USB keys, Movidius accelerators, etc.\r\n- GPU pass-thru\r\n- RAW drives\r\n- additional unmanaged nics, VXLANS (we already have a usecase for that, but use it thru security groups script hacking (hotplug) which is not good)\r\n- alter and provide additional CPU flags unsupported by CS\r\n\r\nLet me know what do you think about it. Design considerations? Maybe already implemented?\r\n\r\n@rhtyd @PaulAngus @andrijapanicsb @DaanHoogland @wido @rafaelweingartner @svenvogel \r\n\r\nWe (Bitworks) would like to implement it. If it has chances to be added to mainstream, it's great to discuss the design.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/bwsw","@type":"Person","name":"bwsw"},"datePublished":"2020-01-20T10:06:23.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/3823/cloudstack/issues/3823"}
