Hi all,
The below was suggested for a Forum session but we don't yet have a
submission or name to chair/moderate. I, for one, would certainly be
interested in providing input. Do we have any owners out there?
Resource reservation requirements:

The Blazar project [https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blazar] has been
revived following Barcelona and will soon release a new version. Now
is a good time to get involved and share requirements with the
community. Our development priorities are described through Blueprints
on Launchpad: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/blazar
In particular, support for pre-emptible instances could be combined
with resource reservation to maximize utilization on unreserved
resources.+1
Regarding resource reservation, please see this older Nova spec which is
related:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/389216/
And see the points that Jay Pipes makes in that review. Before spending
a lot of time reviving the project, I'd encourage people to read and
digest the points made in that review and if there responses or other
use cases then let's discuss them *before* bringing a service back from
the dead and assume it will be integrated into the other projects.
Is Blazar the right project to discuss reservations of finite
consumable resources like software licenses?
Blazar would like to ultimately support many different kinds of
resources (volumes, floating IPs, etc.). Software licenses can be
another type.

Cheers,
John Garbutt also has a WIP backlog spec in Nova related to pre-emtiple
instances:
