In nova-manage, we have a 'network modify' command that takes --network but
'network delete' takes --fixed_range. The flag was renamed (some while ago)
for the 'network delete' case. Was it intentional to leave the 'network

True enough. However, in the case where we've got a demonstrated divergence
from the spec, we should report that
If you believe that that's true, then we should get Amazon to redefine the EC2
spec to match the reality of what's in the field.

Subject: Re: [Openstack] Cross-zone instance identifiers in EC2 API -
Is it worth the effort?
2011/7/8 Ewan Mellor
From Thorsten von Eicken
FYI, there's nothing in the EC2 API that limits instance identifiers
(or other IDs) to 32 bits. The IDs are strings, so it's trivial for EC2 to
add another digit when running out of 32-bit IDs.
If that's the case (and I believe you, that's always how I assumed it
I have followed up on this thread with Thomas Goirand out-of-band. Thanks to
Thomas' prompting, we (Citrix) have decided to dedicate some time to this, to
help him create good XCP packages for Debian and Ubuntu. We'll keep both
communities up to date with the effort.
If anyone is interested
How about QA? Is this something that you'd want to consider specifically for
Glance? It's the newest of our services, and the smallest team, so I think
that it's worthwhile explicitly blocking out some time to look at automated

Clearly blueprints are about process and not about code. Merge
proposals are a hybrid of code and process.
If we were to go with UUIDs and using XenServer, I should be able to use
the uuid that it generates upon VM creation. I would almost ask your above
question for XenServer then. When I terminate and launch an VM on the same
machine, I should be able to give it the same uuid that I was just
I don't have anything for the agenda -- happy to skip it.

The vmware-vsphere-support branch has been approved for merge (thanks Jay and
Rick!) Before it will merge, we need to install suds on the Hudson machine.
It's put into the pip-requires file as part of the patch, but that's obviously
not being used in the Hudson run. Who's in charge of this
We shouldn't keep tainting this argument with concerns about whether the IDs
are readable or not. We have UIs and CLIs to make things readable for humans.
We have to accept that, on the scales we care about, any unique ID is going to
be incomprehensible to a human. Rely on your presentation

Goddamn it. I've just entered the channel at 21:00 UTC on the dot. I

And are we sticking with 20:00 UTC from now on? In particular, US clocks move
