What do you think about adding jq to the base image?

[chuckha]

I have found this is a fairly common utility and it would simplify the aws-quickstart to have jq already present on the image.

Is this reasonable for wardroom to have or should consumers be modifying the image as needed?

[craigtracey]

Reasonable. In fact we should make all installed baseline packages configurable by the end user.

Would nfs-client also be added to base (needed on nodes for nfs volumes), or configurable? @craigtracey

[craigtracey]

@erictcgs yes, I think that is also reasonable. The most ideal case will be that these packages are all configurable. Given that nfs-client is necessary for nfs volumes, I think that would be a safe default install.
