Re: [openstack-dev] [Nova][blueprint] Accelerate the booting process of a number of vms via VMThunder

2014-04-28 Thread Christopher Lefelhocz
n image copying library would be nice, I think a better way to do it would be to have some sort of library composed of building blocks, such that each driver could make use of common functionality while still tailoring the operation to the quirks of the particular drivers. Best Regards, Solly
