Hi Eric,

I'm sorry for late reply.
Your kind explanation made me understand.
Our situation is as Sundar mentioned.
I am a beginner for developing openstack, but I will try to make cyborgclient more elaborate anyway!

Thanks,
Ikuo

Hi Ikuo. I'm glad you're interested in helping out with this effort.

I'm trying to understand where you intend to make your changes, assuming you're coming at this purely from a cyborg perspective:

- If in Nova, this isn't necessary because there's no python-cyborgclient integration there. Communication from Nova to Cyborg is being added as part of blueprint nova-cyborg-interaction [0], but it'll be done without python-cyborgclient from the start. The patch at [1] sets up direct REST API communication through a KSA adapter. Once we have base openstacksdk enablement in Nova [2] we can simply s/get_ksa_adapter/get_sdk_adapter/ at [3]. And in the future as the sdk starts supporting richer methods for cyborg, we can replace the direct REST calls in that file (see [4] later in that series to get an idea of what kinds of calls those will be).

- If in the cyborg CLI, I'm afraid I have very little context there.
There's a (nearly-official [5]) community push to make all CLIs OSC-based. I'm not sure what state the cyborg CLI is in, but I would have expected it will need brand new work to expose the v2 changes being done for Train. From that perspective I would say: do that via OSC. But that's not really related to bp/openstacksdk-in-nova.

- If in python-cyborgclient, again I lack background, but I don't think there's a need to make changes here. The point of bp/openstacksdk-in-nova (or openstacksdk-anywhere) is to get rid of usages of client libraries like python-cyborgclient. Where is python-cyborgclient being used today? If it's just in the CLI, and you can make the above (conversion to OSC) happen, it may be possible to retire python-cyborgclient entirely \o/

Now, if you're generally available to contribute to either bp/nova-cyborg-interaction (by helping with the nova code) or bp/openstack-sdk-in-nova (on non-cyborg-related aspects), I would be delighted to get you ramped up. We could sure use the help. Please let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
efried
