Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a same question from Mark. Why is "flavor" not desired?<br>
My first vote is "flavor" first, and then "type".<br>
<br>
There is similar cases in other OpenStack projects.<br>
Nova uses "flavor" and Cinder uses "(volume) type" for similar cases.<br>
Both cases are similar to our use cases and I think it is better to use<br>
either of them to avoid more confusion from naming for usesr and operators.<br>
<br>
Cinder volume_type detail is available at [1]. In Cinder volume_type,<br>
we can define multiple "volume_type" for one driver. <br>
(more precisely, "volume_type" is associated to one "backend defintion"<br>
and we can define multiple "backend definition" for one backend driver").<br>
<br>
In addition, I prefer to managing flavor/type through API and decoupling<br>
flavor/type definition from provider definitions in configuration files<br>
as Cinder and Nova do.<br>
<br>

<div>A quick question of the ^^^</div>
<div>I heard from many of you that a term 'flavor' is undesirable, but so far there were no suggestions for the notion that we are going to introduce.</div>
<div>So please, suggest you name for the resource.</div>
<div>Names that I've been thinking of:</div>
<div> - Capability group</div>
<div> - Service Offering</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
