Open Stack

Some insight into the number of instances being spun up *per day* on
AWS, *just in the US-East-1 region*:

http://www.jackofallclouds.com/2010/12/recounting-ec2/

Avg in 2010: 70,528 instances spun up each day
Max: 150,800 instances in a single day

Food for thought.

What do we think Nova could/can support? I know we are aiming at
supporting clouds of 1M physical hosts. Perhaps we need to re-assess?
:)

/me urges more prioritization of the openstack-ci (continuous
integration and performance/stress testing) project in Cactus...
