Open Stack

There are a couple of items which have not been able to make it to the top priority for recent releases which would greatly simplify our day to day work with the users and make the cloud more flexible. The background use cases are described in https://openstack-in-production.blogspot.fr/2016/04/resource-management-at-cern.html


-          Quota management improvements

o    Manual interventions are often required to sync the current usage with the OpenStack view

o    Nested projects are now in Keystone but is limited support in other projects for the end user benefit, such as delegation of quota for sub-projects

-          Nova pre-emptible instances  (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/104883/) to give spot market functionality

o    We want to run our cloud at near 100% utilisation but this requires rapid ejection of lower priority VMs

That having been said, I also fully support key priorities currently being worked on such as cells v2 and placement.

Subject: [Openstack-operators] What would you like in Pike?

Hey everyone,

I am hoping to get a dialogue started to gain some insight around things Operators, Application Developers, and End Users would like to see happen in Pike. If you had a dedicated environment, dedicated team, and freedom to choose how you deployed, new features, older features, enhancements, etc, and were not required to deal with customer/client tickets, calls, and maintenances, could keep a good feedback loop between your team and the upstream community of any project, what would like to make happen or work on hoping the next release of OpenStack had/included/changed/enhanced/removed…?

Kind regards,
--
