Open Stack

Hi Ziad,

This is great progress!

The first question that pops up for me is where are you drawing the distinction between multi-tenancy and the concept of "projects" as exists today in nova?

Are tenants the answer to this, and is the difference purely semantic?


Thanks,

Devin

R1 is too close (June 2nd) so we probably won't be done by then, but aiming for Friday June 10th gives us a good couple of weeks to get there and then a couple of weeks to firm up implementation and tests, so we should be able to hit R2 with a locked down API.
