Hi,

I've been reading and tried Otto and it seems like a very interesting tool to use it more than just for playing.

But there are no commits in github for a while, not many authors contribute and I don't find a roadmap. It's been superseded by something else, maybe?

Also, is there any plans or suggestions to integrate it with kubernetes?




Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo

Rodrigo,

Otto has not been superseded by anything else at HashiCorp, we have just shifted
some of our priorities and haven’t been able to dedicate as many resources to the
project. However, a lot of work that we are doing on other projects internally will be
landing in Otto as we are able to dedicate more resources to it.

There are no plans to integrate with Kubernetes currently but Otto is designed to support
multiple backend implementations. The Appfile is agnostic to the underlying infrastructure,
so it would be possible to implement a Kubernetes backend if you wanted! 

Hope that helps!

Best Regards,
Armon Dadgar

Ohh, cool. Good to know

Ohh, that's quite interesting! Do you have any pointers for that? And if I decide to work on that, will it be possible to merge it? (Assuming all issues, coding style, design, etc. are tackled)





Thanks a lot,

Rodrigo,

There isn’t great documentation available, but if you look at the repo in the “infrastructure”
and “foundation” folders, you will see that its an interface that must be implemented, and
that there are specific implementations for AWS, Consul, etc. There are factory functions
that allow it to be extended to support multiple implementations of those various layers so
I would start there!

Best Regards,
Armon Dadgar

Great, will have a look. Thanks! :)
