nice!! This has excellent potential, two quick questions without getting hands-on first, So please tell me to get handson if that is actually the best way to see the maybe obvious.
We are running in an hybrid system of physical hardware and openstack, does razor play nice together with openstack? Maybe by building a custom openstack image that bootstraps into ipxe? We also run what i would call a service management database. Which knows about the running services and their requirements. Combined with a program that monitors the instances and starts/stops new ones as required. I imagine extending this to also monitor physical systems and automatically replace failed once from the reserve pool. This would require a little stricter matching then 32GB/Dell/ssd because i have ten of those and only want one. What strategy's could I follow in this? query razor for the available systems and create a matching profile based on serial from the monitoring program? Is there also the option to query external resources to determine extra facts? would this be done through the deployment of custom facts?
