[Openstack] Force volume on same host as VM

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

I read through the BPs and especially the first one ("Create volume in same
host in which vm instance is running") seems to be implementing what I
want. Where can I get information about the status of the implementation of
the BPs? Will they be integrated in Icehouse? The Launchpad pages don't
quite answer this...
