I agree that this is a big difference in functionality, but I believe that the code changes required to integrate these capabilities is relatively scoped, known, and pretty small. There are potentially bigger fish than the PFS parts, here are a few thoughts: * start moving towards the os-utils/openstack-common library use for managing endpoint and uri [1], [2] * define and agree on a common way to handle the rich physical networking aspects currently in crowbar (e.g. bonds, vlans and friends), which I can't see manifested in the att cookbooks (I'll ping jaypipes to start a thread on that). e.g. in [3], there's little mention of either. This will become even more important as we bring in Quantum. * rationalize provider / consumer relationships. i.e. how monitoring providers [4] get hooked in, how different coookbooks (e.g. mysql/db, keystone) make providers available to their consumers [5] > cookbooks, as it's probably one of the biggest difference we need to focus on. > There's some additional work being done on the pfs, to enable using virtualenv per component.
