i imagine this is something that can be useful in a development and testing environment, especially during the transition period from direct to heat. so having the ability is not unreasonable, but i wouldn't expose it to users via the dashboard (maybe not even directly in the cli)

generally i want to reduce the number of parameters / questions the user is asked

best,

I agree with Andrew. I see no value in letting users select how their
cluster is provisioned, it will only make interface a little bit more
complex.

    Alexander,

    What is the purpose of exposing this to user side? Both engines must
    do exactly the same thing and they exist in the same time only for
    transition period until heat engine is stabilized. I don't see any
    value in proposed option.

    Andrew.

        Today Savanna has two provisioning engines, heat and old one
        known as 'direct'.
        Users can choose which engine will be used by setting special
        parameter in 'savanna.conf'.

        I have an idea to give an ability for users to define
        provisioning engine
        not only when savanna is started but when new cluster is
        launched. The idea is simple.
        We will just add new field 'provisioning_engine' to 'cluster'
        and 'cluster_template'
        objects. And profit is obvious, users can easily switch from one
        engine to another without
        restarting savanna service. Of course, this parameter can be
        omitted and the default value
        from the 'savanna.conf' will be applied.

        Is this viable? What do you think?

        Regards,
        Alexander Ignatov
