I've updated the spec and moved it to ASF wiki. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/AWS-Style+Regions+Functional+Spec
Most of the implementation was already done on the Regions feature branch. Data synchronization across regions is done via regular API calls with admin keys. All update/delete operations are sent to the source Region (i.e. the region where the resource was initially created). If the source region is down, update/delete operations will fail. Is this an acceptable limitation? Should we consider other options instead of using API calls for data synchronization? Basically the problem we trying to solve is to keep data in certain tables (account, users, domains) consistent across multiple distributed databases (one database in each region). -----Original Message----- From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2012 11:14 PM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [ASFCS41] AWS-Style Regions On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 12:02 PM, Manan Shah <manan.s...@citrix.com> wrote: > Yes, Chip, this is the same feature.

Thanks for clarifying. Kishan appears to have the Jira record assigned to him. Kishan - is this something you are hoping to make it into 4.1?
