Dear all, I'm evaluating Openstack and i'm interested in extending it's scheduling capabilities. So i'm looking for ways to replace Openstack's scheduler component with my own (so i can route the requests to an external scheduler that the company i work for develops). Any ideas on how i can do it? During my research, i found that there are 3 scheduling types in Openstack: - chance scheduler - zone scheduler - and the simple scheduler Is the scheduler component in Openstack modular / easy to replace? What options do i have? p.s. i've also found a post saying (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AI0tmD2qMxsJ:https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/%2Bbug/766444+openstack+bypass+scheduler&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com): "I've seen plenty of questions come in asking how to launch a VM on a particular compute node. I learned this is available with the burnin merge, where you can bypass the scheduler, but no documentation was included with that code. Please document it - I can review and edit as needed." Any idea where i can get more information on the subject? Thanks in advance, Luis Silva
