Open To Dos

• In progress: feat: support map of files and volumes and mark array as deprecated #123 (comment)
• Closing [feature request] convert HTTP liveness/readiness checks to score compose healthchecks score-compose#86 and [feature request] set services to non-root and read-only file system by default score-compose#242?
• By anticipation of the coming Hub of examples in docs, let's move or copy Score examples in a new dedicated "Score examples" repo? https://github.com/score-spec/score-compose/tree/main/examples
• New score-compose|k8s validate command?
• score-operator brainstorming? [feature request] Score operator score-k8s#143
• Come with a clear list of where we need help from the community
• ACA implementation: Score - Azure Container Apps (Bicep) – initial implementation score-aca#14 --> Andrej cannot make it this time, to move to next meeting. In the meantime, can we review this to help him make progress during this 2 months window?

Due to the fact that May 1st is a Public Holidays in different places, we are postponing to next week, this meeting is now moved to May 8th.

Notes from the meeting.

Coming:

• Finalizing the new files and volumes implementation - last part with score-k8s is in progress
• Content Hub in docs for Score files, Patchers, and Provisioners
• Implementating initContainers in score-go, score-compose and score-k8s based on the open PR in spec --> need some issues/documentations

Discussions/Ideas:

• score-tf (terraform and tofu)?
  • score-bicep, score-pulumi
  • score-implementation template to be updated by adding a concept of dependencies (waiting for resource's outputs)
  • Let's have a design document for this (as simple as possible, opening more generic options, etc.)
• score-aca to discuss next community meeting
• score-operator is a good idea, but a design document is required and some discussions need to happen: using score-go, using score-k8s go libs? Support of both provisioners template and cmd, etc. As of today, the GitOps approach is to drop the manifests.yaml file from score-k8s generate in a Git repo.
• No need of score-compose|k8s validate because that's already what generate does.
• For next community meeting next month, it would be ideal to feed https://clotributor.dev/search?foundation=cncf&project=score with more ideas about good first issue and help wanted issues in the different repos. In the meantime, if you are looking for some contributions, we would appreciate if the community could help grow the list of examples in these two repos:
  • https://github.com/score-spec/community-provisioners
  • https://github.com/score-spec/community-patchers
