<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Hi Magnum Guys,</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I want to raise this question through ML.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">In this patch </span>
<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/200401/"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/200401/</span></a><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">For some old history reason, we use
<b>platform </b>to indicate 'vm' or 'baremetal'.</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This seems not proper for that, @Adrian proposed nova_instance_type, and someone prefer other names, let me summarize as below:</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">1. nova_instance_type  2 votes</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">2. instance_type 2 votes</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">3. others (1 vote, but not proposed any name)</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Let's try to reach the agreement ASAP. I think count the final votes winner as the proper name is the best solution(considering community diversity).</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">BTW, If you not proposed any better name, just vote to disagree all, I think that vote is not valid and not helpful to solve the issue.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Please help to vote for that name.
</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thanks</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
