Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project. To see the full OpenStack Summit schedule, including presentations, panels and workshops, go to http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org.
Look at tasks as first class citizens in Nova. We can trigger all api actions from the conductor, but leave db read outs in the compute api. Work towards detecting when a worker has died, and reporting or recovering from the error. We can report all the progress and errors through the new Task API that has been proposed.
This work could lead us to a position where we can consider using TaskFlow.
