hi all, We are pleased to introduce Nimble, a new OpenStack project which aims to provide bare metal computing management. Compared with Nova, it's more bare metal specific and with more advanced features that VM users don't need, it's not bounded by Nova's API.
As we know, Ironic API should never be exposed to end users, users have to talk to Nova to request a bare metal compute instance even if you're only providing bare metal, even if it's only internally, you still have to talk to nova, Ironic doesn't have a concept of users, tenants, and quotas. Nimble wants to decouple virtualization and baremetal technologies by breaking baremetal computing management into its own set of application program interfaces. Not only does Nimble provide pre-set configuration servers, but it also wants to support RSD(Rack Scale Design) which makes it possible to dynamically compose physical resouces. For more information, including architecture, use cases, etc., are described on the project wiki [0]. And please feel free to browse our source code [1][2]. If you're intreasted in Nimble, please join! Thanks, [0] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nimble [1] https://github.com/openstack/nimble [2] https://github.com/openstack/python-nimbleclient
