Zun

OpenStack as a virtual Kubernetes node

Registered by hongbin

Azure Container Instance (ACI) has a k8s connector, which allows k8s to schedule pod to the ACI service: https://github.com/virtual-kubelet/virtual-kubelet .

Zun and ACI is very similar, and we could borrow the idea to develop a Zun connector for k8s. The Zun Connector roughly mimics the Kubelet interface by:
* Registering into the Kubernetes data plane as a Node with unlimited capacity
* Dispatching scheduled Pods to Zun instead of a VM-based container engine

NOTE: This BP requires a spec to document the design.

Kevin. FYI: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-July/098732.html

(kevin) we may consider to use virtula-kubelet to register node for zun in Kubernetes:
https://github.com/virtual-kubelet/virtual-kubelet

(hongbin 2017-12-07) This is very cool @Kevin. I like the idea.
