Snappy-Chroot-Agent
A chroot container for a Snappy Agent
Current functions:
- translate a Cinder ID to its backing type and ID
- translate a Cinder Name to its Cinder ID
These functions are used by the Snappy Frontend.
The agent maybe be placed in the same location as the Snappy Frontend. If access to the Cinder (Openstack) database is limited by a firewall, it can be placed behind the firewall with an port open so the Frontend can connect to it. The Frontend should be in an easily accessible location so that it can receive requests.
