Yes, I think Kubernetes only is a good place to start initially. And
then we can figure out how to integrate this into other parts of Cockpit
as well if it works out.

Interesting, good to know. I guess I misunderstood how this works. I
thought it was delivered as a container containing the logic of how to
deploy the remainder of the application. Do we have a real world example
to play with?

I tried poking around in the examples directory but couldn't get it
working. Do you have step by step commands that would let me run an example?

If we can get an answer file immediately, without pulling anything, then
Cockpit wouldn't need to do any pulling ... and just let the atomicapp
tool deploy things and take it's time doing so.

However if there is an intermediate pulling step (ie: choose app, pull
image, figure out answers) then the UI would need to be aware of that
step, and display progress and state information to the user during that
pull step.
