I had a discussion with russellb regarding this for yesterday, I would like to discuss this with the team regarding the blueprint mentioned in subject. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/auto-vm-discovery-on-hypervisor Description: Organizations opting to use openstack can have varied amount of workload that they would like to be available directly with the use of some discovery workflows. One common usage of this would be exising virtual machines present on the hypervisors. If this instances can be disovered by the compute agent during discovery, it would help to use Openstack to manage the existing workload directly. Auto VM Discovery will enable this functionality initially for KVM guests, the widely used hypervisor configuration in OpenStack deployments and enhance it further for other hypervisors.
