What benefit besides marketing does Huawei get from "integrating" 
FusionCompute with OpenStack? From looking at the wiki page above, 
FusionCompute's product line essentially duplicates a half-dozen or more 
OpenStack services, including Nova's scheduler, Nova's compute workers, 
Nova's administrative APIs, Neutron, Cinder, Designate, Octavia, 
Barbican, and Heat in a monolithic single cloud management application.

What technical benefit do you see from writing a Nova virt driver that 
calls the Huawei Compute Management Agent, which then calls the Huawei 
Virtual Resource Manager clustered resource management system?
