Open Stack

Harshad,

But the key question that Ravi brought up remains though. A project is a very small administrative container to manage policies and resources for VPCs. We've been experimenting with VPCs on OpenStack (with some mods) at work for nearly a year, and came across cases where hundreds/thousands of apps in equal number of projects needing to share resources and policies, and project to VPC mapping did not cut. 

I was wondering if there was prior discussion around the mapping of AWS VPC model to OpenStack concepts like projects and domains. Thanks for any pointers.
