Nova has a process specifying that RFEs need to be documented using Launchpad's blueprints. We only use Launchpad bugs for getting the list of *bugs* that are existing (or existed) and we don't generally use the Wishlist status for getting the list of features we want to work on (even if we still have wishlist bugs in our project page, but that's just for legacy reasons).
Please look at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/process.html #how-do-i-get-my-code-merged for understanding how to help Nova. Triaging this bug report as Invalid then, please open a blueprint and create a Nova-specs change given it would need an API modification. ** Changed in: nova Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665366 Title: [RFE] Add --key-name option to 'nova rebuild' Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Bug description: Currently there is no way to change key-name associated with instance. This has some justification as key may be downloaded only at build time and later changes will be ignored by instance. But this is not a case for rebuild command. If tenant want to rebuild instance, he may wants to change key used to access that instance. Main reason for 'rebuild' command instead of 'delete/create' often lies in area of preserving network settings - fixed ips, mac addresses, assosiated floatings IPs. Normally user want to keep the same ssh key as at creation time, but occasionally he (she) may want to replace it. Right now there is no such option. TL;DR; Please add --key-name option to nova rebuild command (and API). Thanks.
