<div>Jay, please be aware of the existence of Climate, which is a
Stackforge project for managing dedicated resources (like AWS
reserved instances). This is not another API extension, but another
API endpoint for creating what we call "leases" which can be started
now or in the future and last for a certain amount of time. We
personnally think there is a space for Reservations in Openstack,
and this needs to be done as a service.<span class="HOEnZb"></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi Sylvain! Hope all is well with you :)<br><br></div><div>So, I actually don't think the two concepts (reservations and "isolated instances") are competing ideas. Isolated instances are actually not reserved. They are simply instances that have a condition placed on their assignment to a particular compute node that the node must only be hosting other instances of one or more specified projects (tenants).<br>
