At the beginning, just summation. Later (when we have nova-scheduler 
reservation) we can get the real distribution of which node is taking 
which role.

For simplified view - yes, only change of states and progress bar. 
However log should be available.

As said above, for simplified views, it is ok to say $foo failed on 
$bar, but she should be able to track the problem - logs section in the UI.

Short answer is Graphs - history of utilization of the class etc.
