Are multiple servers/agents per container a possibility?  If so we'd need to append a differentiator to the container identifier.

Also, with respect to a feedid based on deployments, isn't it possible that multiple containers run the same deployments for load-balancing purposes?  Wouldn't that result in multiple agents running with the same feedid?  Anyway, It seems if we could derive a feedid from the container, with perhaps a new token like autogenerate-from-container, that could be a nice way to easily identify a feed for a container.  This doesn't solve the issue of replacing a stopped container with a new container, thus generating new inventory and orphaning the existing inventory.  But in that situation I think we may just want to look for a decent way to kill that inventory, like TTL or something.

Is there any reason the agent can't use container as identification?

Things like that would work well.

We could even allow the agent to support notation like this:

<storage-adapter feed-id="%envvar(HOSTNAME)" ... />

or whatever syntax makes sense
