Hi, My name is Moshe Elisha and I work at CloudBand, Nokia. I watched "Glare - A Unified Binary Repository for OpenStack[1]" and it looks very nice and useful.
We are considering using Glare as a standalone artifacts repository. We have two main use cases: A. Create a custom artifact_type which basically has one archive file (BLOB). B. Use "images" artifact type to store images. I have a few questions that I couldn't find the answer for and I would appreciate it if you could please reply: 1. What dependencies does Glare have on other OpenStack services? Is it only a dependency in Keystone? 2. I saw that there is a way to implement a "validate_upload" hook. Is there a support for an async validation process (in case validation process is long)? 3. Is there a way to define the "backend" used per artifact_type? For example, "heat_templates" will be stored on "File system" and "images" will be stored on "Ceph"? 4. Were there talks about a "Database" backend? Probably only relevant for some artifact types. 5. Disregarding the "backend" used - is there anything that prevents Glare from running in HA active/active mode? 6. With regards to "backend" - which of the currently supported backends is preferable in order to achieve HA active/active mode? 7. I noticed that there is a puppet-glare[2] project. Can you please share the status of that project? 8. Is there any work being done for creating RPMs for glare?
