<font size=2 face="sans-serif">IMO, the three themes make sense, but I
would suggest waiting until the submission deadline and discuss at the
following IRC meeting on the 22nd. Maybe there will be more relevant proposals
to consider.</font>

P.S. I plan to submit a proposal regarding scheduling policies, and maybe
one more related to theme #1 below</font>

Scheduler meeting and Icehouse Summit</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>Hi Folks,<br>
<br>
In the weekly scheduler meeting we've been trying to pull together a consolidated
list of Summit sessions so that we can find logical groupings and make
a more structured set of sessions for the limited time available at the
summit.<br>
<br>
</font></tt><a href="https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/IceHouse-Nova-Scheduler-Sessions"><tt><font size=2>https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/IceHouse-Nova-Scheduler-Sessions</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br>
<br>
With the deadline for sessions being this Thursday 17th, tomorrows IRC
meeting is the last chance to decide which sessions we want to combine
/ prioritize. Russell has indicated that a starting assumption
of three scheduler sessions is reasonable, with any extras depending on
what else is submitted.<br>
<br>
I've matched the list on the Either pad to submitted sessions below, and
added links to any other proposed sessions that look like they are related.<br>
<br>
<br>
1) Instance Group Model and API<br>

2) Smart Resource Placement:<br>

<br>
6) Scheduler Performance:<br>
Session Proposal: NONE<br>

<br>
7) Scheduling Across Services:<br>
Session Proposal: NONE<br>
<br>
8) Private Clouds:<br>
Session Proposal: </font></tt><a href=http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/228><tt><font size=2>http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/228</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br>
<br>
9) Multiple Scheduler Policies:<br>
Session Proposal: NONE<br>
<br>
<br>
The proposal from last weeks meeting was to use the three slots for:<br>
- Instance Group Model and API (1)<br>
- Smart Resource Placement (2)<br>
- Performance (6)<br>
<br>
However, at the moment there doesn't seem to be a session proposed to cover
the performance work ?<br>
<br>
It also seems to me that the Group Model and Smart Placement are pretty
closely linked along with (3) (which says it wants to combine 1 & 2
into the same topic) , so if we only have three slots available then these
look like logical candidates for consolidating into a single session.
That would free up a session to cover the generic metrics (4) and
Ceilometer - where a lot of work in Havana stalled because we couldn't
get a consensus on the way forward. The third slot would be kept
for performance - which based on the lively debate in the scheduler meetings
I'm assuming will still be submitted as a session. Private
Clouds isn't really a scheduler topic, so I suggest it takes its chances
as a general session. Hence my revised proposal for the three slots
is:<br>
<br>
i) Group Scheduling / Smart Placement / Heat and Scheduling (1),
(2), (3), & (7)<br>
- How do you schedule something more complex that a single VM ?<br>
<br>
ii) Generalized scheduling metrics / celiometer integration (4)<br>
- How do we extend the set of resources a scheduler can use to make its
decisions ?<br>
- How do we make this work with / compatible with Celiometer ?<br>
<br>
iii) Scheduler Performance (6)<br>
<br>
In that way we will at least give airtime to all of the topics.
If a 4th scheduler slot becomes available then we could break up
the first session into two parts.<br>
<br>
Thoughts welcome here or in tomorrows IRC meeting.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
