<div dir="ltr">Hi Sebastien,<div><br></div><div>Totally understand your reasoning here, however there are some misunderstanding :P I'm not familiar with Smaug, but Tricircle is not a NFV specific project. We have use cases in OPNFV that is targeting NFV scenarios. </div><div><br></div><div>As you correctly point out about the state of the VM, and Tricircle is not guarantee or replicate VM state either. It only provides a unified management gateway for a multi-site openstack deployment, user only obtain the state on a per-query basis.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyways it is great start with Kingbird, and later on I think we could further group Tricircle or Smaug together to have more interesting features provided to DR :)</div><div><br></div><div>BTW we will have a joint Ubernetes/Tricircle session in OSCON, you are also welcomed to check it out.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 2:14 AM, Sébastien Han <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:han.sebastien@gmail.com" target="_blank">han.sebastien@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thanks for raising this. However we have "good" reasons to not talk<br>
about Smaug and Tricircle.<br>
Those 2 are really focus on NFV use cases, where in our scenario we<br>
"only" save Cinder blocks and Glance images.<br>
We do not guarantee the state of the VMs not want to replicate it.<br>
<br>
We really aim for a basic approach, so we start small with Kingbird in<br>
order to address our first multi-site use case.<br>
Perhaps in the future we will need Smaug and Tricircle but we are not there yet.<br>
<br>
We will start contributing to Kingbird pretty soon and see how that goes.<br>
Thanks!<br>
