It's up to the end user to decide who is writing and/or overwriting
them.
It could also be useful to reimplement (refactor) some of the existing
World API's to be implemented in terms of these primitives.
This is required if we're going to have out of package resources. In
particular for third party packages, and also for if we decide to split
out each resource into a separate sub package.
Avoid use of the reflect package, and use an extensible list of registred
resource kinds. This also has the benefit of removing the empty VirtRes and
AugeasRes struct types when compiling without libvirt and libaugeas.
This is a new resource for setting key value pairs in our global world
database. Currently only etcd is supported. Some of the implications and
possibilities of this resource will become more obvious with future
commits!
You can bother/test this resource with these commands:
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl get "/_mgmt/strings/" --prefix=true
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl put "/_mgmt/strings/KEY/HOSTNAME" 42
Replace the KEY and HOSTNAME variables with the actual values you'd like
to use. The 42 is the value that is set.
