[openstack-dev] [NFV] - follow up on scheduling discussion

Hi Tim,



In our current implementation of Smart (Solver) Scheduler,  the constraints are defined as pluggable modules (just like filter definitions in the filter scheduler) and are pulled in together when necessary to solve the scheduling decision. And regarding the data that we get from different services in storage (cinder)  , network and so on, we are currently using their clients to directly get the data to use along with the constraints.



I believe a policy implementation can specify which constraints to use and which data. So the data can potentially be saved in the individual services.



The Gantt project is also planning to have internal DB which will be used for scheduling. That is another option where the unified data can be, when we want to do unified scheduling that we describe in our Smart scheduler project.



I will open to explore options as to where Congress will fit in here,  but currently I feel it is one layer above this.



Thanks,

Yathi.

Hi all,

I see that many of the use cases require information from different OS components, e.g. networking, compute, and storage.  One thing to think about is where those constraints are written/stored and how the data the constraints depend on is pulled together.  The Congress project might be helpful here, and I’m happy to help explore options.  Let me know if you’re interested.
