<div dir="ltr">Matt/Joe,<div><br></div><div>I think your points are valid. However, when looking at woowing customers who are in legacy operation, doing all the changes at once doesnt seem like a viable value proposition. This first order transition is important to get them to see the benefits of cloud. Then we can have their previous OPS people to spend spare time on becoming DEVss and build cloud native apps !</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Affan</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, 16 Feb 2016 at 19:24 Bajin, Joseph <<a href="mailto:jbajin@verisign.com">jbajin@verisign.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><div><div>I would have to agree with Matt. The ability for any sort of handling of failures either reside within the application or tools around the application to make it work.

They want the same enterprise based availability and support that they get with a vendor paid solution without the cost of the vendor paid solution. I have started to see and hear more about how vendors are adding “enterprise” solutions to OpenStack. This includes High Availability features that rely on the infrastructure to manage instead of the application. I fear the direction of all the projects will begin migrating this way as more vendors get involve and want to figure out business models that they can use around “enterprise” feature-sets. </div><div><br></div><div>—Joe</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div><div><div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><span><div style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:12pt;text-align:left;color:black;BORDER-BOTTOM:medium none;BORDER-LEFT:medium none;PADDING-BOTTOM:0in;PADDING-LEFT:0in;PADDING-RIGHT:0in;BORDER-TOP:#b5c4df 1pt solid;BORDER-RIGHT:medium none;PADDING-TOP:3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Matt Fischer <<a href="mailto:matt@mattfischer.com" target="_blank">matt@mattfischer.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Monday, February 15, 2016 at 10:59 AM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Toshikazu Ichikawa <<a href="mailto:ichikawa.toshikazu@lab.ntt.co.jp" target="_blank">ichikawa.toshikazu@lab.ntt.co.jp</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> "<a href="mailto:openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack-operators@lists.openstack.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [Openstack-operators] [nova] VM HA support in trunk<br></div></span></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div>I believe that either have your customers design their apps to handle failures or have tools that are reactive to failures.</div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately like many other private cloud operators we deal a lot with legacy applications that aren't scaled horizontally or fault tolerant and so we've built tooling to handle customer notifications (reactive).
