[Arvados] Deploy Arvados

[Tom Clegg]

Hi Cornelius,

I've posted some more release status info here. Short version: Arvados
is not yet deploy-ready.

https://arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Release_Status

A Keep volume is just a regular filesystem (typically ext4) which Keep
(our distributed CAS) uses as its back-end store. Documentation for
setting them up is in the works, along with a rewrite of Keep itself.

Technically there is no hard requirement to run the API service (or
anything else) in a VM. However, in a production environment, the
virtualization layer is necessary to achieve the performance,
efficiency, and scalability that we are aiming for. It also tends to
make administration less painful.

The "install" page on the doc site is really just the beginning of an
outline. We will be adding much more detail in the next few months.

Thanks,
Tom
