+1 - this is important for both incubated projects and vendor implementations. I seem to recall one of the sessions talking about gating commits to passing an upgrade test from the previous stable release and these interfaces are an obvious candidate. Identifying the specific interfaces will take some work, but the plugin points (e.g. scheduler, rpc, etc) are a good starting point.

This is because those APIs are no longer really private, they're shared amongst incubated projects. Furthermore, it seems this may be required to support version heterogeneity during upgrades with versioned RPC calls. The incubated projects could use REST APIs, but we're talking of introducing artificial scaling and reliability constraints to do that. It seems far better to me, if we can have contracts on those internal APIs and use them between the incubated projects. There is a strong enough push to maintain these versions *anyway*. Ah - thanks for explaining that. I'm all for locking down these internal interfaces. I didn't realize people were willing to do so. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
