Glance is the image store which uses s3/swift api's to store machine images. Lunr is an effort to take the block volume code that is currently in nova and separate it into it's own more generic service. > >> or will only be used for supporting application volumes. > > I'm not sure the meaning of application volumes but it's a replacement > of the current nova-volume, provinding volume service for VMs. Yep, exactly. I believe Shehjart was referring to EBS style block storage, which nova-volume currently provides (and Lunr will replace in the future most likely). > > >> If I >> understand this correct, it is trying to overcome the iscsi-only >> access method currently provided for creating and accessing >> application volumes.

Agreed - it seems most reasonable to begin this work in nova-volume and then add support to Lunr when it is closer to being ready for prime time. > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
