Incremental container deployment #885

ISSUE TYPE
SUMMARY

Not sure it exists already as I went through the docs and examples and haven't find it yet (I might be wrong though). It would be nice to be capable of adding a new container to an existing and running PROD (or DEV) environment without running ansible-container destroy and then ansible-container build.

I imagine a situation where we have a running microservices infrastructure containing few containers and need to deploy another one or more and not to touch the running ones.

As far as i can see, if you need to achieve that then the "destroy" command should be used and followed by "build" again. We would end up destroying / re-creating the infrastructure just because we need an additonal container.

In short, it would be nice to have a command which reads the current configuration and based on that it adds only those containers which are not running or haven't created yet.

If something already exists or I have misunderstood the ansible-container concept, I apologise for wasting your time. If not, then i will be more than happy to help on the new feature.

Best, Mirco

Why are you using destroy when you probably just mean stop?
