Hello, In 1.9 HOB is intended to be deprecated by Toaster functionality. This means that Build Appliance also must be changed. Since HOB is started automatically in BA in order to help users get started quickly with YP, I have the following proposal for updating BA in 1.9 and to replace HOB:
* Update current BA implementation in order to support Toaster (maybe few patches needed to be included in the image in order to run Toaster) * If Toaster is enabled in BA then the user might be able to run Toaster from his host machine, or if BA is installed on a remote server, just access the server via HTTP. * this should be an easy solution to implement and maintain the BA functionality. There are solutions like Docker that were previously discussed, but my opinion is that first of all Docker is limited to Linux only. Secondly it will need much more QA effort (support at least 4 distros that YP currently supports) and more failure prone for specific Docker configurations.
