                                  is an accurate reflection of the
                                  current state.  It's a very unilateral
                                  view, largely because the rest of us
                                  had been focussing on the google

                                  Secondly, I totally disagree with this
                                  approach.  This assumes that
                                  description of the (cloud-internal,
                                  hardware) details of each compute node
                                  is best done with data stored
                                  centrally and driven by an API.  I
                                  don't agree with either of these
                                  points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                                style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family:
                                Calibri, sans-serif; color: black; ">Firstly,
                                the best place to describe what's
                                available on a compute node is in the
                                configuration on the compute node.  For
                                instance, I describe which interfaces do
                                what in Neutron on the compute node. 
                                This is because when you're provisioning
                                nodes, that's the moment you know how
                                you've attached it to the network and
                                what hardware you've put in it and what
                                you intend the hardware to be for - or
                                conversely your deployment puppet or
                                chef or whatever knows it, and Razor or
                                MAAS has enumerated it, but the
                                activities are equivalent.  Storing it
                                centrally distances the compute node
                                from its descriptive information for no
                                good purpose that I can see and adds the
                                complexity of having to go make remote
                                requests just to start up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                              color: black; ">Secondly, even if you did
                              store this centrally, it's not clear to me
                              that an API is very useful.  As far as I
                              can see, the need for an API is really the
                              need to manage PCI device flavors.  If you
                              want that to be API-managed, then the rest
                              of a (rather complex) API cascades from
                              that one choice.  Most of the things that
                              API lets you change (expressions
                              describing PCI devices) are the sort of
                              thing that you set once and only revisit
                              when you start - for instance - deploying
                              new hosts in a different way.<br>
                              <br>
                              I at the parallel in Neutron provider
                              networks.  They're config driven, largely
                              on the compute hosts.  Agents know what
                              ports on their machine (the hardware tie)
                              are associated with provider networks, by
                              provider network name.  The controller
                              takes 'neutron net-create ...
                              --provider:network 'name'' and uses that
                              to tie a virtual network to the provider
                              network definition on each host.  What we
                              absolutely don't do is have a complex
                              admin API that lets us say 'in host
                              aggregate 4, provider network x (which I
                              made earlier) is connected to eth6'.<br>

                                                          is Robert Li
                                                          from Cisco
                                                          Systems.
                                                          Recently, I
                                                          was tasked to
                                                          investigate
                                                          such support
                                                          for Cisco's
                                                          systems that
                                                          support
                                                          VM-FEX, which
                                                          is a SRIOV
                                                          technology
                                                          supporting
                                                          802-1Qbh. I
                                                          was able to
                                                          bring up nova
                                                          instances with
                                                          SRIOV
                                                          interfaces,
                                                          and establish
                                                          networking in
                                                          between the
                                                          instances that
                                                          employes the
                                                          SRIOV
                                                          interfaces.
                                                          Certainly,
                                                          this was
                                                          accomplished
                                                          with hacking
                                                          and some
                                                          manual
                                                          intervention.
                                                          Based on this
                                                          experience and
                                                          my study with
