That sort of information and those sort of quires fall within the realm of configuration management. So for any organization or customer or whatever you should be able to ask: What resources belong to that customer/organization? (Note just compute resources, but object store resources, or whatever) What resources have been requested and are actively being provisioned? etc. There should be a service (the configuration management service) that's there just for answering those sort of questions -- the service shouldn't necessarily have to query nova or swift directly -- instead the underlying configuration management database can be populated by listening to events from swift and nova. The shape of the CMDB and what queries it's optimized to process will vary from one deployment to another. -jOrGe W.
