API Microversions for Operators: What? Why? and How?

Are API microversions Good, or are they Evil? Should they be embraced, or shunned?
What in the world should I do about them?

Get insight into the API microversion feature in OpenStack from two developers
who implemented them in Cinder and Manila. Scott and Clinton will explain What
microversions are with examples. They will walk through use cases and help to
answer the questions around Why a developer or operator might use them, or even care.
They will demonstrate How to use them with clients or directly with the API in order
to access new features or remain with older behavior.


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees will be introduced to the API microversion feature and learn why it exists.
Demonstrations will show how it can be used from a client-user point of view, as well as
how to use it in code for developing apps that can take advantage of cutting-edge OpenStack
features. Operators will see how API microversions help them maintain the supportability
of their clouds.
