To be clear we have two pursuits on this thread:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) What to rename bay.blatform to.</div>
<div class="">2) How we might eliminate the attribute, or replace it with something more intuitive</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We have a consensus now on how to address #1. My direction to Kannan is to proceed using server_type as the new attribute name. If anyone disagrees, you can let us know now, or submit a subsequent patch to address that concern, and we can vote
on it in Gerrit.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">On this subject of potentially eliminating, or replacing this attribute with something else, let’s continue to discuss that.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">One key issue is that our current HOT file format does not have any facility for conditional logic evaluation, so if the Bay orchestration differs between various server_type values, we need to select the appropriate value based on the way the
bay is created. I’m open to hearing suggestions for implementing any needed conditional logic, if we can put it into a better place.</div>

Wait... so the issue is if you were to just use nova flavor, you don't have enough information to choose a set of templates that may be more optimal for that flavor type (like vm's or bare metal)? Is this a NaaS vs flatdhcp kind of thing? I just took a quick
skim of the heat templates and it wasn't really clear why the template needs to know.<br class="">
<br class="">
If that sort of thing is needed, maybe allow a heat environment or the template set to be tagged onto nova flavors in Magnum by the admin, and then the user can be concerned only with nova flavors? They are use to dealing with them. Sahara and Trove do some
similar things I think.<br class="">

<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">I think flavors introduces more confusion than nova_instance_type or instance_type.</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">As flavors not have binding with 'vm' or 'baremetal',</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">Let me summary the initial question:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""> We have two kinds of templates for kubernetes now,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">(as templates in heat not flexible like programming language, if else etc. And separate templates are easy to maintain)</span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">The two kinds of kubernets templates, One for boot VM, another boot Baremetal. 'VM' or Baremetal here is just used for heat template selection.</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">1> If used flavor, it is nova specific concept: take two as example,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""> m1.small, or m1.middle.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""> m1.small < 'VM' m1.middle < 'VM' </span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""> Both m1.small and m1.middle can be used in 'VM' environment.</span><br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">So we should not use m1.small as a template identification. That's why I think flavor not good to be used.</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">2> @Adrian, we have --flavor-id field for baymodel now, it would picked up by heat-templates, and boot instances with such flavor.</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">3> Finally, I think instance_type is better. instance_type can be used as heat templates identification parameter.</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">instance_type = 'vm', it means such templates fit for normal 'VM' heat stack deploy</span><br class="">
<br class="">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">instance_type = 'baremetal', it means such templates fit for ironic baremetal heat stack deploy.</span><br class="">

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">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.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br class="">

</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
I want to raise this question through ML.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
In this patch<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/200401/" target="_blank" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class="">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/200401/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">

For some old history reason, we use<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">platform<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>to indicate 'vm' or 'baremetal'.<br class="">
This seems not proper for that, @Adrian proposed nova_instance_type, and someone prefer other names, let me summarize as below:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
1. nova_instance_type 2 votes</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
2. instance_type 2 votes</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
3. others (1 vote, but not proposed any name)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
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><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
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><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
<br class="">
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
Please help to vote for that name.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><br class="">
