Open Stack

Yes the project is quite new, we are still developing requirements at the
OPNFV side. We will update with full description after the summit when we
got all the inputs. Look forward to have a chat with you at the summit :)

I think you are right that Nomad does not solve the problem per se in this
thread, however it would be the natural next step. After having Nova being
able to use FPGA as a resource, you will need to be able schedule FPGA
resources for the VM.

We also have a team based in Canada that specialized in FPGA related
management that will participate in the Nomad development, we could have
more deep dive chat when we got chance :)
