status, volume status, and port status, etc. One proxy node will be responsible for one cascaded OpenStack instance, and configured with one user to be able to query the status. It works, although not perfect, and the controllable.

collection, and push to the top layer cascade service. I would like to know more your thoughts on the “push” method.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

will be changed frequently in very short time, if “push” based on every status, imaging that there are lots of objects in one site, the burst API calling to the top layer will be un-controllable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

agent to capture the status change events. Not all status change will send notification even to the message bus, have to add code to each service. It’s also complex to implement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
