There's no concept of application

[markdryan]

Ciao based cloud apps are going to consist of lots of different ciao objects. There will be multiple workload definitions, instances creation from those definitions, volumes for rootfs and data, pools, external ips and external ip mappings. Currently, a ciao application has to be built from the ground up creating each object in turn in a specific order. We currently have no way to describe an entire application declaratively. This makes it difficult to deploy and remove cloud apps on ciao and it makes it difficult to distribute these apps. We needed to create an entire application, 1000 lines of code, to deploy kubernetes on ciao. From ciao's point of view kubernetes is just a cloud application. Kubicle shouldn't really exist. Instead ciao-cli should support the notion of a cloud application composed of multiple objects, which can be created and destroyed with a single command. Alternatively, it may make sense to build a higher level tool to manage cloud-apps. This could be done by making kubicle more generic.
