Server create is always (until there's a separate layer) going to go cross project calling other apis like neutron and cinder while an instance is being provisioned. For that reason, I tend to think it's ok to give some extra convenience of automatically creating ports if needed, and being able to specify security groups. For the associate and disassociate, the only convenience is being able to use the instance display name and security group name, which is already handled at the client layer. It seems a clearer case of duplicating what neutron offers. _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
