For instance we could build a container that contains the "build descriptor" consumer script on top of a "build appliance container image." Or it can be used for the current crops/yocto containers on dockerhub that currently are based around standard distros that might be larger than desired. 67578 1 randy.e.witt 2016-10-25 21:03:21 +0000 Reassigning to Brian since he wants to leverage the existing crops containers. 68197 2 brian.avery 2016-11-09 16:58:43 +0000 AFAIK, the remaining functionality missing from the CROPS/container et al family is the ability to run qemu with a graphical display. 68842 3 brian.avery 2016-12-05 18:28:38 +0000 RFC sent out .

The containers provide a lightweight way to use the YP. The Build Appliance is a complete image dogfooding test which verifies we can rebuild an image from an image we created. Because of this, we are keeping both the Build Appliance and the containers so I am marking this as resolved/obsolete as we chose not to go down the path of deprecating the Build Appliance.
