Hello Everybody,
A challenge we've experienced with using OpenStack is discovering, sharing, and
correlating metadata across services and different types of resources. We
believe this affects both end users and administrators.
Hi
This seems neat, but also seems to have some overlap with glance's new catalog
and some of the things Murano
are doing. Have you had a look at those efforts?

For end users, the UI can be too technical and require too much pre-existing knowledge of OpenStack
concepts. For example, when you launch instances, you should be able to just specify categories
like "Big Data" or an "OS Family" and let the system find the boot source for
you, whether that is an image, snapshot, or volume. It should also allow finer grained filtering
such as choosing specific versions of software that you want.
For administrators, we'd like there to be an easier way to meaningfully
collaborate on properties across host aggregates, flavors, images, volumes, or
other cloud resources. Today, this often involves searching wikis and opening
the source code.
We, HP and Intel, believe that both of the above problems come back to needing
a better way for users to collaborate on metadata across services and resource
types. We started project Graffiti to explore ideas and concepts for how to
make this easier and more approachable for end users. We're asking for your
input and participation to help us move forward!
To help explain the ideas of the project, we have created a quick screencast
demonstrating the concepts running under POC code. Please take a look!

Please join with us to help refine the concepts and identify where we can best
fit in to the ecosystem. We have a few blueprints, but they need additional
support outside of the Horizon UI. We believe our best path is one where we can
contribute the Graffiti service as either a new project in an existing program
or as a series of enhancements to existing projects. Your insight and feedback
is important to us and we look forward to growing this initiative with you!
We have a design session at the summit where we'd love to have open discussion
with all who can attend:
