Open Stack

I suspect whether cell itself could ease large scale deployment across
multiple DC. Although openstack is modularized as separated projects,
but top level total solution across projects is needed when
considering issues such as scaling, especially coordination between
nova and network / metering.

Personally +1 to Steve, that in terms of future plans decision for
scaling, we should explore all similar proposals such as Cascading and
Federation. In fact networking and metering face the same challenge as
nova, or even more with l2pop and dvr. Those two proposals both bring
total solution across projects besides nova, with each has its own
emphasis by the view of intra vs. inter admin domain.
