<div>Hi, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Based on the discussions we have had in the past few scheduler sub-team meetings, I am sharing a document that proposes an updated Instance Group Model and API extension model. </div>
<div>This is a work-in-progress draft version, but sharing it for early feedback. </div>
<div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17OIiBoIavih-1y4zzK0oXyI66529f-7JTCVj-BcXURA/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/17OIiBoIavih-1y4zzK0oXyI66529f-7JTCVj-BcXURA/edit?usp=sharing</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This model support generic instance types, where an instance can represent a virtual node of any resource type. But in the context of Nova, an instance refers to the VM instance. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This builds on the existing proposal for Instance Group Extension as documented here in this blueprint: <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/instance-group-api-extension">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/instance-group-api-extension</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Yathi. </div>
