(I think there are time zone issues preventing the team working on the driver from attending the cinder weekly meeting, so I'm sending this update to the mailing list.) We discussed the proposed s3 backup driver [0] at today's cinder meeting. The code is looking good and the developers have been responsive to comments and doing quick revisions. The patch has one +2 and looks very close to being approved. One thing that's missing at this point is a comment on the review from one of the developers that they've deployed it with cinder and it works, and under what conditions it's been tested (that is, actually with S3, or only with the swift proxy). So please add such a comment to the review. This will allow us to merge the backup driver while you continue to work on getting the CI running [1]. We haven't required CI on backup drivers previously, so the cinder team has taken the position that lack of CI is not a reason to hold up the backup driver from merging. I want to stress, however, that we are excited that you are working on getting CI for the driver. The CI is looking close to completion as well (the holdup at the moment seems to be a problem with the swift proxy and recent versions of the boto library). The devstack support for this effort [2] is also looking good.
