[openstack-dev] [Magnum] Magnum supports 2 Nova flavor to provision minion nodes

hi Mike
One questions:
Currently, we can specify --master-count --node-count when creating a 
bay, so how will that work if you have defined the nodes count in baymodel?

I think we need some rethinking here.

Eli.

The magnum baymode.py will parse  this  dictionary and pass them to the heat template parameters minion_flavor_map, minion_flavor_count_map. Then the heat stack will work well.
