I had a discussion with a group last week that was wanting to target 10k hypervisors in a single OpenStack environment. We should also not forget the vast numbers of environments that really only need 10s to a few hundred hypervisors to work *really* well. There are other pain points for OpenStack at the higher end of scale targets. OpenStack already works great for these 10s-100s enterprise private cloud use cases. With that context, HA is far more of an immediate concern for me than the much higher scale targets. -- Russell Bryant _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
