I am currently leading a team at Rackspace in an R&D effort for Rackspace's next generation Volumes as a Service product. We plan on developing it in the open, and would like community feedback and involvement. The project will be called "Lunr", and I will send out links to the mailing list when we have the project repository ready.
We are also submitting Lunr to be an Openstack incubated project at the Diablo Design Summit next week. The eventual goal is to provide an enhanced volume service for Nova and OpenStack that can be evolved by the OpenStack community. We would like to start by proposing and working with those of you in the community who are interested in collaboratively defining what the OpenStack volume api will look like and behave going forward. We propose expanding off the work that justinsb has already contributed and adding support for snapshots and other needed features. I will send another email to the list to begin these discussions. Several of the Lunr team will be at next week's design summit. I've received many emails from individuals and vendors who are interested in the volume service in Nova and OpenStack and would like to collaborate in this effort. I already have a talk accepted to discuss these items in detail and look forward to both the official and unofficial discussions with anyone interested. I don't want to dump too much information in one email, so expect more soon. I wanted to start the discussion of the project, answer initial questions, and have initial review of a draft API prior to the design summit. -- Chuck Thier (@creiht)
