I'd like to resume the discussion as how we will enable the following features:
   - Start a server/domain
   - Find Wildfly servers and instrument them with the agent
with Ansible in the Middleware Manager ?

I'm questioning the packaging and dependencies, Rubens spent some time a while back and we need to resume/conclude:
https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-commons/pull/83/files

If I read fast and correctly it seems that:
   - we have a cyclic dependency(with commons and inventory)
   - the code should not be in common (actually the whole commands-gateway doesn't belong to commons if we consider that commons was supposed to be shared among Alert/Metrics/APM/Services)
   - The playbooks are not part of Hawkular-services so they would be added separately ? Or hawkular-services would be less and less generic / more and more related to the MW Manager ?
   - The code is currently specific to Wildfly ? (Would not work for Fuse on Karaf or should be modified ?)

Well the whole command-gateway depend on WF anyway, so we would need a twist for Karaf/JMX based products
 


Note: While I am not directly suggesting Hawkular Services to be more specialized as the middleware manager, it may be something we would want.
Hawkular for Manage IQ (currently hawkular-services) and Hawkular for Kubernetes/OpenShift (currently HAM), the first should extend the second so that one could just use the first as MW Manager and solution for OpenShift.
It would simplify development and message.
