Need for an orchestration layer/ service has been visited and talked about during Essex summit (http://etherpad.openstack.org/orchestration). However, Orchestration couldn't be materialized during Essex. This session is to revisit the need, identify the gaps, brainstorm and review design options and come up with a plan to implement the same. Summary from previous Summit: Nova needs to be able to monitor and manage long-running transactions. For example, when creating 1,000 servers, it may be necessary to create a build plan, retry failed builds, refresh the plan, and possibly even roll back the entire transaction if it cannot be completed rapidly enough. To do this, an orchestration service is proposed that can monitor workflows around Nova events and transactions. (Session lead is Sriram Subramanian)
