[one-users] OneFlow and “infrastructure libraries”

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

OneFlow does not support that use case, but it is something we could add in
the medium-long term [1].

I don't think the OneFlow server would need to be changed radically. I
guess we would need a pre-deployment phase where we create all the defined
networks, images, and templates.
And of course a way to cross-reference IDs and possibly other attributes.

Your use case seems like a good starting point to start the discussion
about the minimum requirements, template syntax, etc.

Regards
