Question from Arkady Kanevsky : Is this an attempt to create a common interfaces and/or common flavors/labels? 

Answer from Petar: In RM text we wrote about standardized APIs. For K8s, the label discovers the device in K8s, but there is no agreement on generic labels categories. Which is a gap that could be discussed in CNCF TUG.

Gergely: From testing perspective, we still need to define the interface between infra and workload.

Ildiko requested that OpenStack is considered as well.
