> The 1M host limit still seems reasonable to me. [] In my opinion, such numbers are completely out of whack. Google's Chubby article says that the busiest Chubby has 90,000 clients (not hosts!) and the biggest datacenter has 10,000 systems. They found such numbers pushing the border of unmanageable. Granted they did not use virtualization, but we're talking the number of boxes in both cases. So to reach 1M hosts in a Nova instance you have to have it manage 100 datacenters. There are going to be calls for federation of Novas long before this number is reached. Sustaining a high flap rate is a worthy goal and will have an important practical impact. And having realistic sizing ideas is going to help it. -- Pete _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
