5
* Use only free software.
6
* Using the best tool, programming language, or framework for each component is preferable to standardizing on a single platform for the sake of conformity.
7
* Prefer to integrate established, widely understood components such as ssh, git, and slurm instead of hand rolling our own solutions.
8
* Use web technologies to tie components together, so programs can access Arvados regardless of programming language or framework.
9
* In the Arvados platform itself, explicitly make use of Linux and Debian specific features to maximize performance and ease of development.
10
* For applications that will run *on* the Aravdos platform, have minimal requirements and be able to run almost anything with just a wrapper script.
