<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">Howdy, everyone!</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">I'm really glad to announce some great news about <a href="https://launchpad.net/climate">Climate</a> project started some time ago - OpenStack Reservation service. It was created to meet needs of full hosts reservation according to <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprint-nova-planned-resource-reservation-api">this</a> BP and now there are something new to said about it.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">Idea of cloud resource reservation is extremely important and can be interesting for a lot of different use cases. That's why we, <a href="http://www.mirantis.com">Mirantis</a>, and Julien Danjou (who've started this initiative with guys from <a href="http://xlcloud.org/bin/view/Main/">XLcloud</a>) decided to improve this idea and make it more flexible and more interesting for the future OpenStack based clouds.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">We've prepared <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Resource-reservation-service">new vision</a> of how Climate as the Reservation Service should look like to provide both virtual and physical cloud reservations.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">We will be really glad to take feedbacks from you and your thoughts about this initiative.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">The future architectural questions will be discussed in dev mailing list, so you are welcome to comment and improve this initiative!</p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica;min-height:14px"><br></p>
<p style="margin:0px;font-family:Helvetica">Thank you.</p>
