I think we need to make sure the appropriate hook's are in place so it can be added, but beyond that I see an explosion of variations and dependencies. My initial impression, like yours, is that it can be accomplished in a custom scheduler. But I'm not a trusted computing expert, so I'd be interested in hearing why that wouldn't work, and what additional hooks might be needed. > Context: > https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/trusted-computing-pools > http://wiki.openstack.org/TrustedComputingPools > https://review.openstack.org/1899 > > mike _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
