Hello folks, I am starting to looking at OpenStack and noticed there are some things it doesn't seem to be able to do right now?
1) Managing the nova-compute (hypervisor) - I see no options on how to control what nova-compute nodes can be 'provisioned' into an OpenStack cloud, I'd consider that a security risk (potentially) if any computer could just register to become a nova-compute? The reason I ask this question is how do we handle hardware failures? How can we manually move a instance/VM off a nova-compute? I see instructions on setting up the hypervisor to move VM instances but no actual commands to issue a move manually. 2) Can build a diskless nova-compute? just one initramfs with the various configurations, libvirt, file storage network mounts, openvswitch etc. 3) keystone seems a lot of work to setup with all the various URLs, we plan to streamline this somehow? When I used OpenNebula I found the installation much similar but simpler (a clear distinction between hypervisors themselves and managing them and managing the VM instances overall. While OpenStack is new I would expect it to be missing functionality currently.
