The UniK Daemon consists of 3 major components.
- The API server
- Compilers
- Providers
The API Server handles requests from the CLI / any HTTP Client, then determines which is the appropriate provider and/or compiler to service the request.
When the API Server receives a build request (POST /images/:image_name/create), it calls the specified compiler to build the raw image, and then passes the raw image to the specified provider, who processes the raw image with the Stage() method, turning it into an infrastructure-specific bootable image (e.g. an Amazon AMI on AWS)
The provider for all subsequent operations on the image are determined by a reference to the provider the image was built on.
