<div>I don't currently know of a one size fits all solution here. There was talk at the summit of having the cinder app respond to a SIGHUP signal and attempting to reload config on this signal. Dynamic reloading is tricky business (basically u need to unravel
anything holding references to the old config values/affected by the old config values). </div>

</div>
<div>I would start with a simple trial of this if u want to so it, part if the issue will likely be oslo.config (can that library understand dynamic reloading?) and then cinder drivers themselves (perhaps u need to create a registry of drivers that can dynamically
reload on config reloads?). Start out with something simple, isolate the reloading as much as u can to a single area (something like the mentioned registry of objects that can be reloaded when a SIGHUP arrives) and see how it goes.</div>

<div>It does seem like a nice feature if u can get it right :-)<br>
