Open Stack

A few thoughts that apply broadly - so I’ll top post.

I think this is fine as a starting point for broad feedback. But, I would see an alternative which is to include volume and image under Compute. I realize this potentially misalign with how we name things on the development side. But, we have often talked about the unique interconnection between basic compute, block and image services. In particular, you can’t really boot server without some reference to images (unlike having a standalone object store). So, I would be a proponent of including those under a compute umbrella that goes beyond Nova.

Also, I will raise a point in writing that I have brought up in several conversations (this is really feedback on the Havana proposal in general as opposed to this particular split.) While I realize that compute-floating-ips, compute-security-groups and images-v1 made it through the scoring process, they are problematic for large-scale public cloud applications. This is the reason they are not offered by Rackspace’s cloud service. This is being addressed on a number of fronts. However, the concerns about images-v1 were addressed with images-v2 (which is available from Rackspace’s public cloud) and the ways to address security groups and floating IPs are being discussed in the context of Neutron (which is not represented in the current capabilities.) This means those 3 capabilities may never be feasible.

If public cloud is a target use case for Defcore, then we need to consider if those capabilities go forward for Icehouse and Juno or not. I expect you will see more details coming from the public cloud team at Rackspace. But, I wanted to make sure the Defcore team is aware.

In some cases, it is acceptable for a program identified without being included in the platform.  New programs are added at Foundation recommendation via board approval.  Programs are added to the platform via board approval.
