<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Maybe somehow I missed the point, but why not just use raw Nova flavors? They already abstract away irconic vs kvm vs hyperv/etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>One drawback to virt_type if not seen in the context of the acceptable values, is that it should be set to values like libvirt, xen, ironic, etc. That might actually be good. Instead of using the values 'vm' or 'baremetal', we use the name of the nova
virt driver, and interpret those to be vm or baremetal types. So if I set the value to 'xen', I know the nova instance type is a vm, and 'ironic' means a baremetal nova instance. </div>

<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I want to raise this question through ML.</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">In this patch </span><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/200401/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/200401/</span></a><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt; 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:10pt; 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:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">1. nova_instance_type 2 votes</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">2. instance_type 2 votes</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">3. others (1 vote, but not proposed any name)</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10pt; 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:10pt; 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:10pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Please help to vote for that name.
