+## Description ##
+OSM SW distribution is currently done as source code, which is downloaded by an
+installer, which also creates several LXD containers for each component, and
+builds the SW on those containers.
+
+Docker containers provide an appropriate framework to separate the different
+processes of a system in individual process containers so that the system
+becomes much more flexible in field (for instance, HA or scale-out strategies
+for an OSM system might be quickly aligned with the state of the art). With the
+Docker approach, you get freedom to deploy each process in a different place,
+scale them independently, design your own approach for High Availability, etc.
+
+This feature proposes the separation of the different OSM processes in Docker
+container images. Here the use of the term ''process'' instead of ''component''
+is intentional. '''Processes running on each component must be identified and
+Docker containers must be created per process and not per component'''.
