Hi everyone, Edison has been working on enhancing CloudStack's storage component for some time now.
One of the improvements is to no longer require large amounts of storage to be provisioned upfront. It's my understanding that with his changes you can dynamically create a storage volume (a single LUN) to run a VM on or to serve as a data disk. My question is how this works from a user's point of view. Does anyone have any insight into this? For example, today the admin creates a Primary Storage type ahead of the user needing to use it. The admin then associates it with a Compute and/or a Disk Offering. The user later elects to make use of a given Compute and/or Disk Offering. I'm curious how the flow will be with storage being dynamically allocated when a user needs it.
