During October I noticed that Microsoft's vhdtool.exe creates VHDs that XenServer can't understand. Boy was that painful. The underlying problem is that some vhd's should be described as VM specific. Does this suggest we adopt MIME-like syntax for category specialization? E.g. in the same

I've recently had inquiries about High Performance Computing (HPC) on Openstack. As opposed to the Service Provider (SP) model, HPC is interested in fast provisioning, potentially short lifetime instances with precision metrics and scheduling. Real-time vs. Eventually. Anyone planning on using
