<div>From a Rackspace perspective, we do not want to expose block operations in the compute API. The plan has been to expose the attach/detach as nova API extensions, and that still makes sense, but will there be a separate, independent block service and API?</div>

Hey Jorge,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That is up to the Nova team, though I imagine that it will continue down the road that it had been progressing (as an extension to the current openstack api).</div>

<div>What does this mean in terms of APIs? Will there be a separate Volume API? Will volumes be embedded in the compute API?</div>
