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.
This session will include the following subject(s):
Instance tasks in API:
As a sort of followup to the instance actions work, and to help facilitate https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/soft-errors I would like to discuss the idea of tasks as their own API resource. This should simplify reporting task failures and allow better tracking of progress. An eventual goal would be the ability to cancel a task.
(Session proposed by Andrew Laski)
feature of Cancel:
In openstack, we should implement the cancel function for the time-consuming API. For example, Live migration in Nova and Upload to Glance in Cinder and ... It is useful and kind for user to implement cancel API(or some function) by openstackers. Here, time-consuming mean what API processing time varies depending on the size of the resource.
