Hi all, We (IBM and Red Hat) have begun discussions on enabling Disaster Recovery (DR) in OpenStack. We have created a wiki page with our initial thoughts: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/DisasterRecovery We encourage others to contribute to this wiki. In addition, we are planning the following activities at the Icehouse Summit in Hong Kong: 1. A presentation on the OpenStack DR vision: http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org/event/36ef8daa098c248d7fbb4ac7409f802a#%20 2. A Cinder design summit session on storage replication: http://summit.openstack.org/cfp/details/69 3. An unconference session discussing the next steps for the design of OpenStack DR Note that we are not proposing a new OpenStack project, but are rather focused on enabling DR in existing projects. We hope that more people will join this effort; the above Summit activities can serve as a good starting point for that, as well as this mailing list, of course. Thank you, Avishay Traeger
