Hello everyone!

At the summit in Atlanta we demonstrated the “Graffiti” project
concepts.  We received very positive feedback from members of multiple
dev projects as well as numerous operators.  We were specifically asked
multiple times about getting the Graffiti metadata catalog concepts into
Glance so that we can start to officially support the ideas we
demonstrated in Horizon.

After a number of additional meetings at the summit and working through
ideas the past week, we’ve created the initial proposal for adding a
Metadata Catalog to Glance for capabilities and tags.  This is distinct
from the “Artifact Catalog”, but we do see that capability and tag
catalog can be used with the artifact catalog.

We’ve detailed our initial proposal in the following Google Doc.  Mark
Washenberger agreed that this was a good place to capture the initial
proposal and we can later move it over to the Glance spec repo which
will be integrated with Launchpad blueprints soon.

Please take a look and let’s discuss!

Also, the following video is a brief recap of what was demo’ d at the
summit.  It should help to set a lot of understanding behind the ideas
in the proposal.

+1, this is something that will be increasingly important to orchestration. The folks working on the TOSCA (and others) -> HOT translator project might be able to comment in more detail, but basically as people start wanting to write templates that run on multiple clouds (potentially even non-OpenStack clouds) some sort of catalog for capabilities will become crucial.

cheers,
Zane.
