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.

A provider may offer many different types of visualization services, and not all Nova features may be offered by all services, or they may want to limit a feature on some flavors. Currently an api call has to make it all the way down to the driver before it can bubble back up that the driver doesn't support that feature (and is very inefficient). I would like to discuss a way that we could discover this at a higher level.
A first thought would be able to assign a set of available capabilities at the flavor level. I'm also open to discussing other ways that such a feature may be implemented.
