[Container-tools] Duplicate POD names

[Jeroen van Meeuwen]

Hi there,

In my application suite, I have multiple individual applications that 
use a database -- MariaDB. I would like to use centos/mariadb via 
projectatomic/mariadb-centos7-atomicapp, but I'm running in to the issue 
where the "mariadb" pod already exists:

>   File 
> "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/atomicapp-0.1.12-py2.7.egg/atomicapp/providers/kubernetes.py", 
> line 129, in _call
>     raise Exception(str(stderr))
> Exception: Error from server: error when creating 
> "/var/lib/atomicapp/kolab-atomicapp/.workdir/mariadb-atomicapp/artifacts/kubernetes/mariadb-pod.yaml": 
> pods "mariadb" already exists

I've attempted using the "generateName" property for the pod definition, 
but this doesn't validate in atomicapp:

>   File 
> "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/atomicapp-0.1.12-py2.7.egg/atomicapp/providers/kubernetes.py", 
> line 129, in _call
>     raise Exception(str(stderr))
> Exception: The Pod "mariadb" is invalid.
> spec.containers[0].name: required value
> 

I've obtained the 'generateName' property from [1] under the heading of 
"Pod configuration file".

Are there any plans to support the "generateName" property?

Alternatively, what would you suggest to try?
