Hi, I was wondering (and could not find in the documentation) if there are guidelines on what needs to be implemented for a cloud (and specifically compute) driver. Any 'MUST' functions the driver needs to support? Or can I start with something minimalist and gradually add more?
I was looking at the libvirt driver[1 and dummy[2] as an example, but wasn't sure about ex_ functions. For example, ex_start_node() , is mandatory or not? I assume those are needed: list_nodes() reboot_node() destroy_node() What about create_node() ? What about: ex_start_node() ex_shutdown_node() ex_suspend_node() ex_resume_node() ex_get_node_by_uuid() ex_get_node_by_name() ex_take_node_screenshot() (?!) ex_get_hypervisor_hostname() ex_get_hypervisor_sysinfo() (?! - isn't it very driver specific?) TIA, Y.
