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.
Building on set-password, provide a generic mechanism to set (but not overwrite) server metadata, so we can have a way to communicate with in guest actions. The existing user quotas on metadata should still apply.
Example use case: set "boot_complted_seconds=20" when looking to profile your actual boot times
Networking Information:
Lets look at improving the networking info given in both config drive and the metadata service to instances.
This would turn into a neutron API proxy, but it seems messy to have two metadata service API endpoints for users of openstack, so maybe this is the best trade-off? We could look at moving it into neutron, with neutron just proxying the nova information, but that makes config drive much harder to implement.
Example use case: have first interface configure via DHCP, but have other interfaces on private networks, and static configured.
