Documentation on Caching)

Guys,

Sorry for missing the meeting today. Thanks for the detailed summary/ logs. I 
am cool with the action item : #action sriram to update the Orchestration 
session proposal. This is my understanding the logs of things to be updated in 
the blueprint:

1) orchestration service provides state management with client side APIs
2) add API design and state storage as topics for the orchestration session at 
the Summit
3) add implementation plan as session topic 

Please correct me if I missed anything.

Just to bring everyone to same page, here are the new links

Folsom Session proposal:

Wiki: http://wiki.openstack.org/NovaOrchestration (I will clean this up tonight)

Maoy: Sandy's pointers are in this email thread (which n0ano meant to fwd you)
Mikeyp: Moving the conversation to the main mailing list per your suggestion

Thanks,
_Sriram

NP, I'll be on the IRC for whoever wants to talk.  Maybe we can try and do the 
sync you want via email, that's always been my favorite way to communicate (it 
allows you to focus thoughts and deals with timezones nicely).

I will most likely be running little late from my 12 - 1 meeting which doesn't 
seem to be ending anytime now :(

I haven't gotten a chance to submit a branch yet. Hopefully by this week end 
(at least a bare bones)

If you are available for offline sync later this week - I would appreciate 
that. Apologies for possibly missing the sync.

Thanks,
-Sriram

Thanks for the pointers Sandy. I will try to spend some cycles on the branch 
per your suggestion; we will also discuss more tomorrow. 

Yes, BP is not far off from last summit, and would like to flush out more for 
this summit. 

Thanks,
-Sriram

Ah, gotcha.

I don't think the caching stuff will really affect the Orchestration layer all 
that much. Certainly the Cells stuff that comstud is working on should be 
considered.

The BP isn't really too far off from what we discussed last summit.
Although I would give more consideration to the stuff Redhat is thinking about 
and some of the efforts by HP and IBM with respect to scheduling (mostly HPC 
stuff). Unifying and/or understanding those efforts would be important.

That said, as with all things OpenStack, code speaks louder than words.
The best way to solicit input on an idea is to submit a branch. That's the 
approach I'd take now if I had the cycles to put back into Orch. I'd likely 
build something on top of Amazon Workflow services (in such a way as it could 
be ripped out later) http://aws.amazon.com/swf/ The replacement could be a new 
OS Service with SWF as the api template.

What I've been thinking about lately has been how to make a proof of concept 
operate with trunk side-by-side without busting the existing stuff. Tricky. 
Orchestration touches a lot of stuff. The error handling is OS could be an 
issue and unifying the 3 Enum State Machine on Instance could be nasty (Power, 
Virt & Task).

I know Ziad is playing around with SpiffWorkflow so perhaps he might have some 
fresh insights?

Hope it helps! Nice to see an effort still going on here. I think it's an 
important project!
