[Fiware-apps] FW: Packaging Planning

Dear Markus,



The explanation you give is a little hard to understand,
you would go for a VM image, perhaps for a recipe (although this is just 
an installation manual) and certainly not for SaaS
Miguel thinks VM images are platform dependent and also dislikes SaaS.
In total I believe we will  provide the packaging of BEMES GE's as a VM 
image and a recipe,
and will leave out the SaaS path.

I hope this is a fair answer to your questions?


best regards,
Koen
