Hi,

How about this recommendation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/511281/patterns-for-handling-batch-operations-in-rest-web-services ?

Best regards,
Ivan.

Some of such operations (e.g. bulk terminate) can already be done from Openstack dashboard. However most operations that I need are not accessible in bulk mode. My question would be: do recent versions of Openstack API support in any form bulk operations described above? Do you have any plans for the nearest future to improve bulk operations support in respective APIs, in the command line tools such as nova or glance or in the Horizon dashboard?
