Greetings, Back in Havana a, partially-implemented[0][1], Cinder driver was merged in Glance to provide an easier and hopefully more consistent interaction between glance, cinder and nova when it comes to manage volume images and booting from volumes.
While I still don't fully understand the need of this driver, I think there's a bigger problem we need to solve now. We have a partially implemented driver that is almost useless and it's creating lots of confusion in users that are willing to use it but keep hitting 500 errors because there's nothing they can do with it except for creating an image that points to an existing volume. I'd like us to discuss what the exact plan for this driver moving forward is, what is missing and whether it'll actually be completed during Kilo. If there's a slight chance it won't be completed in Kilo, I'd like to propose getting rid of it - with a deprecation period, I guess - and giving it another chance in the future when it can be fully implemented.
