Open Stack

Greetings!

I suspect the avenue of at least three different specs is likely going
to be the best path forward and likely what will be required for each
project to fully understand how/what/why. From my point of view, I'm
quite interested in this from a Nova point of view because that is the
initial user interaction point for majority of activities. I'm also
wondering if this is virt driver specific, or if it can be applied to
multiple virt drivers in the nova tree, since each virt driver has
varying constraints. So maybe the best path forward is something nova
centric to start?
