Hi Guys- Thanks a lot for the replies, One more doubt. Where is this metadata stored in the Nova Database. Please help me understand the same. -- TNS On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 12:16 AM, Anne Gentle <a...@openstack.org<mailto:a...@openstack.org>> wrote: >> Though I have too many questions, I'm in need of these since, Want to >> understand the ROLE of metadata concept? > > > The role is simple - you can set metadata on a server, and retrieve it later > if you wish. Let's say you're creating a web interface, like a dashboard, that talks to the Compute API. You might want to let your users assign "tags" to their servers like "LAMP" or "WAMP" or "production" or "testarea" - metadata could be used for that use case. Hope this helps.
