Hi Oleg, NOTE: this is my opinion - I do not speak for all of OpenStack!
While our focus is on a successful Essex, the RCB team has started thinking about Folsom. Our current thoughts is focusing on enabling an eco-system **around** core. OpenStack shouldn't try to be IaaS, PaaS and SaaS - instead a solid base to build these other systems on. [1] OpenStack is about "Essential Infrastructure Services" (currently compute, storage, network) and supporting tools/apis/docs. Determining if LB is considered Infrastructure (vs. platform) and if it is Essential (a fuzzy word - what is essential to one isn't essential to another) That said - regardless of whether Atlas land in core [2], my team wants to add: * documentation/tutorials/examples about how to add a new (iaas or paas) services to a cloud * simple integration of LB service (for instance an optional devstack component). * an opensource backend for the LB service (haproxy, pound, ...) The thought is that an entire eco-system of components that plug into a cloud is more powerful than having OpenStack "choose winners" that become "core". [3] I look forward to conversations about LBaaS and the definition of OpenStack. Jesse Andrews Rackspace Cloud Builders [1] the analogy I use is that the Apache Web Server doesn't try to be Django or Rails, but instead be a great web server to run rails on top of. [2] in addition to the question about if lbaas belongs in core, the incubation process would need to be gone through http://wiki.openstack.org/Governance/Approved/Incubation [3] rather than blessing project X to be an official platform component, enable many projects to run on top and let open source / market dynamics determine winners.
