<br>
The feature comparison matrix at<br>
<</font></tt><tt><font size="2"><a href="http://wiki.openstack.org/Nova/APIFeatureComparison">http://wiki.openstack.org/Nova/APIFeatureComparison</a></font></tt><tt><font size="2">> has a row labelled<br>
"AMI's backed by EBS", which suggests to me that there is a way to have<br>
nova-compute start a VM with its root store managed by nova-volume. But<br>
I haven't been able to find anything that shows how to achieve this.<br>
Can anyone provide a pointer?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
