Description

Should plug-ins be added at build-time, which will result in custom images and deployments? Or can plug-ins be added as configuration, which results in custom service definitions (user inputs)? Or can plug-ins be added externally through a mounted volume, and possibly kept updated with MMS? Or is there another approach?

Will discuss with @dabooz
