Hello, Currently there is no feature (that I'm aware of) that would provide a volume from a pool of volumes based on the requirement of a VM. I understand that the comparison might be coming from the kubernetes PVC and PV concept but currently openstack doesn't support this workflow. We could create a custom script which lists volumes, compares the properties required by the VM and returns the volume ID as a parameter for the VM creation. More information is always useful so can you elaborate your use case and how this feature would fit in your requirement?

Is there a feature in openstack as of now, where we can specify an option while vm creation, which suggests the cinder to automatically use from the pool of available volumes for that project, instead of creating new volumes ? As of now, we need to explicitly specify a volume id to be attached to the vm after creation..

Thanks elinux
