[Pywps-dev] Containerization PyWPS processes

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi,

I'm in touch with Adam.

 It has big impact on the disc space, I agree - but afaik, it opens new
possibilities (imagine, being able to deploy running job to e.g. open shift
instaces ..) and other system resources impact should not  be that big?

What can I say, all the points raised by Jorge are valid - so let's give it
a try?
