hi all,
Hi!
I'm from the Mogan team, we chose the same keyward 'baremetal' when implementing
a OSC plugin [1]. As we think the baremetal command is representative of a
baremetal resource, not a service, so it makes sense for different projects to
share the top level resource name that OpenStack can provide.
We do not "own" the word "baremetal", so nothing prevents you from using it.
However, in my experience:
1. This does confuse users, as they expect "openstack baremetal" to be a prefix
belonging to Ironic.
2. Collisions may happen. We had two collisions with TripleO already, one
resulted in us killing a TripleO command abruptly.
The commands we have implemented are listed below, seems there's no collision
with Ironic presently, and Ironic doesn't manage such resources.
* openstack baremetal server <action> <args>
* openstack bareemtal flavor <action> <args>
* openstack baremetal keypair <action> <args>
* openstack baremetal availability zone <action> <args>
Ironic does not have any notion of either of these, so it should be fine.
I'm still a bit on a -1 side because of potential users confusion. I wonder how
can we send a message across that prefixes do not designate a specific project,
but are rather just part of a "sentence". I'm specifically worried about
confusing "baremetal server" of Mogan with "baremetal node" of Ironic. For many
people these can be synonyms.
So, we'd like to ask if our CLI pattern is allowed before we release the client.
Thanks in advance!
