Discussion items

See agenda:

• Teams are working on lower priority Bug backlog
• New feature designs
  • "Disconnected / Freeze" mode where the Agent will continue to run any active agreements / workloads but will not contact the Mgmt Hub for changes to agreements
    • Goal: prevent agreements / workloads from changing while the edge node is in a safety critical state.
    • "Change Freeze" mode, Send heartbeats but not accept node property updates or changes, geofencing information updates
  • Prefetch the service container before forming new agreement / canceling old agreement - fine grained control of states within agreement formation
    
    • containers can be large, network connectivity might be slow
    • download the new container before cancelling old agreement
    • Goal: reduce downtime between new agreement and old agreement
• Rebase UBI containers on UBI9
• Documentation updates and edits
  • Agent landing page is looking good
