The session went well. Some of the members of the cinder team who
<br>
might have had more questions had not been able to be at summit so
<br>
we were unable to get their input.
<br>
<br>
We clarified some of the things that cinder wants to be able to
<br>
accomplish (run multiple schedulers in active-active and avoid
race
<br>
conditions) and the fact that this is what placement is built for.
<br>
We also made it clear that placement itself can be highly
available
<br>
(and scalable) because of its nature as a dead-simple web app over
a
<br>
database.
<br>
<br>
The next steps are for the cinder team to talk amongst themselves
<br>
and socialize the capabilities of placement (with the help of
<br>
placement people) and see if it will be suitable. It is unlikely
<br>
there will be much visible progress in this area before Stein.

Thanks for this update. I have it on the agenda for the Cinder team
to discuss this further. We ran out of time in last week's meeting
but will hopefully get some time to discuss it this week. We will
keep you updated as to how things progress on our end and pull in
the placement guys as necessary. <br>
