Hi Rocky,

I changed the topic to separate the voting from the RA topic that you mentioned.  I think it's a good idea but I would be glad to share a "user reference architecture" initiative that the WTE (Win The Enterprise) WG is planning to work on ASAP.  This concept is slightly different from what you described below since these reference architectures will be driven by customer deployment examples versus prescribed architectures given scale or projects.  I'd be interested in determining whether the need for both exists or whether one (or the other) is a superset.

[Rockyg] I suspect that both the WTE and the operators will have architectures that dovetail, as the operators are often implementing the needs of their organizations.  I would think that we could up with good compromises that reflect both the WTE use cases and the Dev-Ops common implementations.  The cool and key thing here is that, the groups come up with a reference architecture which then makes it much easier to iterate to what the individual user wants/needs.

Sounds like the discussion could be fun and productive.

Happy to discuss further when we meet in person.   

Thanks,
Shamail

Right now there is a discussion on the Operators' list on a small installation, 3-5 nodes, with HA.  This could be a fine first reference architecture with all the code and docs to make it similar (or better) to install than devstack.  This is also a good architecture for prospective users for prototyping, testing, or small business installation.  Spec'ing this out during the summit, or at least getting a good start, along with a volunteer project manager, would be a very worthwhile endeavor for the meetup.
