Open Stack

Ya, we should figure out how to organize to make this happen.

It seems to provide many benefits (not just for openstack).

Maybe setup a little working group around this...

Martin Packman mentioned that there are some other groups interested in creating a separate AWS validation test suite, and that AWSOME would probably be using that. I think Joshua Harlow from Yahoo! was working in that area, too.

We just have to be careful here to make sure that lots and lots of tests are done to ensure that the EC2 response is valid as well as to ensure the performance is not de-graded by having this proxy layer. If it does get de-graded then there needs to be some work done to ensure that this does not happen (ie new features in the openstack-api). Hopefully this proxy layer can also remain stateless, for as long as possible (for everyone's sanity).

Another reason why we started this project is that we believe this
architecture would be easier to use and maintain than what currently
exists in Nova. This is why we are proposing this work as a longer term
solution for EC2 compatibility.
