get Tuskar UI a bit closer back to the fact
that Undercloud is OpenStack too, and keep the name "Flavors" instead of

the Tuskar UI UX, though.
I can imagine we would constantly explain it by saying its the same as
flavors because people will be familiar with this. So maybe being
consistent would help.
Yeah. This is a double bladed axe but i'm leaning towards naming flavors
consistently a bit more too. Here's an attempt at +/- summary:
"node profile"
+ a bit more descriptive for a newcomer imho
- CLI renaming/reimplementing mentioned before
- inconsistency dangers lurking in the deep - e.g. if an error message
bubbles up from Nova all the way to the user, it might mention flavors,
and if we talk 99% of time about node profiles, then user will not know
what is meant in the error message. I'm a bit worried that we'll keep
hitting things like this in the long run.
- developers still often call them "flavors", because that's what Nova
calls them
"flavor"
+ fits with the rest, does not cause communication or development problems
- not so descriptive (but i agree with you - OpenStack admins will
already be familiar what "flavor" means in the overcloud, and i think
they'd be able to infer what it means in the undercloud)
I'm CCing Jarda as this affects his work quite a lot and i think he'll
have some insight+opinion (he's on PTO now so it might take some time
before he gets to this).
One other thing, I've looked at my own examples so far, so I didn't
really think about this but seeing it written down, I've realised the
way we specify the roles in the Tuskar CLI really bugs me.
--roles 1=1 \
--roles 2=1
I know what this means, but even reading it now I think: One equals
one? Two equals one? What? I think we should probably change the arg
name and also refer to roles by name.
--role-count compute=10
and a shorter option
-R compute=10
Yeah this is https://bugs.launchpad.net/tuskar/+bug/1281051
I agree with you on the solution (rename long option, support lookup by
names, add a short option).
Thanks
Jirka
