Building the path to extracting Placement from Nova
Since its creation in early 2016, within Nova, there's always been a hope and plan that the Placement service would be extracted to its own project and repository. Work has begun in Rocky to lay the groundwork to make this possible, but there is still plenty more that needs to be done to make it happen, including:
- Gathering feedback from operators and deployers on their concerns and plans.
- Detailing the several options for managing data migrations.
- Determining which of those are the best.
- Managing standard resource classes (probably with an os-resource-classes library in similar form to os-traits).
- Finishing up work on getting nova imports out of placement code.
- Strategies for managing functional and integration tests in Nova and other clients of Placement.
