I'm just wondering if anyone can comment on the following two topics:
a) volatile images - e.g. development servers where new packages are installed every few days and where the entire system state must be preserved on every reboot. Can the whole cookie-cutter static image concept be bypassed and the entire instance runs from persistent storage but still under the control of OpenStack? b) hybrid deployments - e.g. if somebody already has 20 physical servers running VMs with a vanilla Xen hypervisor, can they add Nova to those servers and run some OpenStack managed VM instances alongside the standalone images wherever they have spare CPU capacity? Or do they need to move all the vanilla VMs onto 10 servers and then just run Nova on the other 10? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
