<pre>Hi,
I just wanted to tell you folks that I did a BoF at OSCon about <span style="background-color:#ffff00">nulecule</span>
and atomicapp. Was 9pm on Weds and, as you might expect, didn't have
great turn out. However, the few people I had did seem interested and
wanted to learn more.
However, I wanted to bring up one thing which came up. One of the people
asked me "how is this different from config mgmt a la chef". While I
know in my head it is different,

<pre>I agree...

<pre> and potentially even a wrapper around
config mgmt, I was struggling with articulating a clear/concise answer.
As a result, I thought I would raise it to the list.
Included James Shubin (who may already be subscribed) as the most
expert-y config mgmt person I know for his perspective.

<pre>I've thought about this, and the short answer is that it's a long
answer. Here's the shortest version:
They're different, but only because IMO, the config management tools
which would solve this problem elegantly, don't currently exist ATM.
Assuming it doesn't offend anyone, I see <span style="background-color:#ffff00">Nulecule</span> as a stop-gap until
config management learns how to better build multi-container
applications. This won't happen for at least a year. Assuming I'm wrong,
please excuse this due to my lack of knowledge into some of the <span style="background-color:#ffff00">Nulecule</span>
specifics.
HTH,
James

atomic +labels (install, run, uninstall) allows an developer to
define how his application runs inside of the Open Container Format.<br />
<span style="background-color:#ffff00">Nulecule</span> allows the define how Multi-Container applications can be
run/installed, and then allows the developer a standard format<br />
to ask administrators for additional configuration data like how my
replicas of each service would they like.<br />
<br />
Orchestration tools can than take advantage of this tooling to
spread the application throughout the environment.<br />
<br />
Daniel Riek could probably expand on this.<br />
