So few things already exit on OpenStack Liberty, but need the Network Based management of Cloudlet with hand-off between edges (not exactly a live migration) but a kind of Base + Delta (Image of disk +mem), so obviously lies between Nova compute and Neutron Network which is the real pain point. Once we have functional piece covered via API and API engine, we will deal with low latency, throughput and all those cool stuff.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20626" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_19303">My limitations are getting back to basics to be able to surmount the CI/CD pipeline of the Project creation and once basic project is created will help get Cloudlet to be a major initiative for OpenStack.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_19404"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20643">Those who can build we have a long journey and will need your consistent support.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20673"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20708">So finally we all will see this is worth the efforts to move the mountains to get Cloud to an intermediary Cloudlet.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20743"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20745"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20651">Here is two years of history if you really need background.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20978"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20888">But all we need for now is a Project created as Cloudlet with specs borrowed from history below and start the 4O's of OpenStack to bring it next wave besides OPNFV.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20893"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20890">Thanks</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20892">Prakash<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20662"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_19134"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20977">------------------------------------------------------------ Fresh from OpenStack Austin Summit trying to launch Cloudlet--------------------------------------------------<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_19152">-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_19185"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_20976"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_19094">Including the current Nova PTL, Matt Riedemann.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18942"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18943" clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18944">These topics are probably best discussed on the openstack-dev mailing list.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18945"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18946" clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18947">Have you submitted a spec for this yet, as requested on the blueprint?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18948">For more details please see:<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18949" clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18950"><a id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18951" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/how_to_get_involved.html">http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/how_to_get_involved.html</a><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18952" clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18953"><a id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18954" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/process.html#how-do-i-get-my-code-merged">http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/process.html#how-do-i-get-my-code-merged</a><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18955" clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18956"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18957" clear="none"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18958"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462489362713_18959">The
