Ed, thanks for summary! I will add comments for the PoC. I hope that can
help people to understand what is about easily:

The first patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/377381/9 is about
os_traits library, that is clone from
https://github.com/jaypipes/os-traits which
created by Jay. I just put it in the nova tree for implement the PoC.

The Traits API starts from the second patch
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/376198/  and the last one is
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/376202. It is all about the data model and
the API implement. The new added API endpoints are '/traits' and
'/resource_providers/{rp_uuid}/traits'.

The client of Traits API is
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/417288. It implements that the
ResourceTracker reports the CPU features as traits to the placement service
by Traits API.

The last one https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429364 is for getting a
specific list resource providers. The patch is based on Sylvain's patch
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/392569. It adds two new filters
'required_traits' and 'preferred_traits'. Then you can a list of RPs which
match the requirement of resources and traits by the request 'GET
/resource_provider?resources=.....&required_traits=...&preferred_traits=....'.
(The API layer patch will be submitted soon)

Thanks
Alex


We've also begun planning for the discussions at the PTG around what our
goals for Pike will be. I'm sure that there will a summary of those
discussions in one of these emails after the PTG.
