Please note: This schedule is for OpenStack Active Technical Contributors participating in the Icehouse Design Summit sessions in Hong Kong. These are working sessions to determine the roadmap of the Icehouse release and make decisions across the project. To see the full OpenStack Summit schedule, including presentations, panels and workshops, go to http://openstacksummitnovember2013.sched.org.
In Ceilometer, we have a few services that needs their daemons/agents to be synchronized and to have work split among them. That includes the alarm evaluator, or the evolution we'd like to have on the central agent.
Some services like Nova uses part of this mechanism in the "servicegroup" implementation.
We think that a lot of services in OpenStack could use such a functionality, so having a common solution into Oslo would be a nice solution.
