[Openstack-operators] [Large Deployments Team][Tags] Ops Tag for "Scale"

Shamail,

It's really quite hard thing to standardize because there are few
dimensions:
- Amount of resources (VMs, Volumes, Images, ... of service),
- Amount of active users (how ofter resource are created/deleted),
- Size of cloud (amount of nodes)
- Cloud deployment architecture
- ...

What I believe is that we should standardize:

- Amount of  resource per service per node
- Typical sizes of cloud: 10, 20, 50, 100, ... nodes
- Workloads that we should be run:
   For example In Rally team we are trying to standardize them here:
   https://github.com/openstack/rally/tree/master/certification/openstack
- Deployment Reference Architecture
- Somebody should find enough resources to run at least for each release
  those tests on real hardware

And create depending on this few scale tags:
works-on-X-scale


Best regards,
Boris Pavlovic
