Open Stack

Hi all,

I just wanted to float this past the operators list for visibility:

Historically Nova has seeded some default flavors in an initial install.
The way it has done this is really atypical of anything else we do, as
it's embedded in the initial database schema migration. Since we're
moving where we store those flavors now, leaving their creation in the
original migration means even new deploys will just have to move them to
the new location. That, and we don't even use them for our own testing
as they're too large.

So, this will involve removing them from that migration, making sure
that devstack creates you some flavors to use if you're going that
route, and updates to the manuals describing the creation of base
flavors alongside getting an image set up to use.

For real deployments, there should be little or no effect, but PoC type
deploys that are used to those flavors being present may need to run a
couple of flavor-create commands when bootstrapping, just like you have
to do for images.

Thanks!
