<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m using Openstack almost every day and my activities
frequently require doing bulk operations, e.g. launching dozens
and hundreds of VMs, terminating and restarting them, creating
snapshots and so on. 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?</div>

I don't think there is a norm yet for doing batch/bulk with REST,
although there have been a few attempts.<br>
<br>
We did something like this with JSON RPC in the past and it was very
useful.<br>
<br>
Probably should be part of the API discussion at the summit.<br>
