Greetings stackers! tl;dr for core reviewers at the end... Because we're 2 weeks out on the first Havana-3 blueprint deadline I thought I would go ahead and list the blueprints in order of importance to the driver as a working whole... Sadly, not all of these are ready to go. That means as a team we need to really step it up. Some of these patches have been in review since May. I'll do my best to anticipate what a core-reviewer would call out and to help you get better use of the VMware API. Because we're so close on feature deadlines, I will relax the "best use of VMware API" part of my reviews. I think we need a major refactor on this driver and I want to hold that effort off until after Havana passes. Havana Blueprints by order of importance: #1. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/multiple-clusters-managed-by-one-service * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/30282/ - current status *abandoned* waiting on Kiran Kumar Vaddi #2 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vmware-nova-cinder-support * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40105/ * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40245/ - good progress, needs some reviews #3 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/improve-vmware-disk-usage * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/37659/ - revising/debugging! work in progress! #4 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vmware-image-clone-strategy https://review.openstack.org/#/c/37819/ - ready for review, simple feature I've made a list of bug fixes we really really badly want. These are critical to real world use cases for folks who actually have working OpenStack + vSphere clouds. Some of these have already been cherry-picked by folks I email with. We have a whole 'nutha list of things we want to see back-ported into grizzly... that's a different thing. These are fixes that need to merge with Havana first so we can cherry-pick those back onto grizzly (which is honestly what most cloud admins are going to actually use these days). Critical bug fixes: ** https://review.openstack.org/#/c/30822/ - datastore regex fix is ready! - ready for core! ** https://review.openstack.org/#/c/33100/ - Fixes host stats for VMWareVCDriver - needs reviews, looks close! ** https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40029/ - config-drive-support bug, config-drive + vSphere is broken! - this is still work in progress IMHO If you own one of these, expect more frequent contact from me as we approach the deadlines. tl;dr (I'm core) these are ready for core: ** https://review.openstack.org/#/c/30822/ - datastore regex fix is ready! - ready for core! #4 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vmware-image-clone-strategy https://review.openstack.org/#/c/37819/ - ready for review, simple feature #2 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vmware-nova-cinder-support * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40105/ * https://review.openstack.org/#/c/40245/ - good progress, needs some reviews # Shawn Hartsock
