[openstack-dev] [all]Big Tent Mode within respective projects

2015-06-03 Thread Zhipeng Huang
Hi All,

As I understand, Neutron by far has the clearest big tent mode via its
in-tree/out-of-tree decomposition, thanks to Kyle and other Neutron team
members effort.

So my question is, is it the same for the other projects? For example, does
Nova also have the project-level Big Tent Mode Neutron has?

Many thanks.

Hi Zhipeng,

At this time, Neutron is the only project that has done any splitting 
out of driver and advanced services repos. Other projects have discussed 
doing this, but, at least in Nova, that discussion was put on hold for 
the time being. Last I remember, we agreed that we would clean up, 
stabilize and document the virt driver API in Nova before any splitting 
of driver repos would be feasible.


Best,
-jay

+1 to jay's comment.

I see Nova's mission as providing a solid interoperable API experience
to on-demand compute resources. Right now, thats happening best by
keeping things in tree, but we are doing work to make other options
possible.

I actually see the existence of projects such as Cinder, Heat and
Magnum as success stories born out of Nova saying no to expanding our
scope (and in the case of Cinder, actively trying to reduce our
scope). I hope more of both of those things will happen in the future.

If we had accepted these efforts into Nova, they would not have had
the freedom they get by living inside OpenStack, but outside of
Compute. Something the big tent makes much easier to deal with. I
don't think they would have gained much by being inside the compute
project, mostly because we are all crazy busy looking after Nova.

Thanks,
John

Imho not only Neutron has this. ;)
Rally support out of tree plugins as well and I saw already some third
party repos:
