[Tim Bell <Tim.Bell@xxxxxxx>]

Silly question...  can't we aim to use Nova ? Clearly not yet supported but there are lots of really good operational benefits that would come from the possibility to integrate bare-metal and guests into the same infrastructure.

Despite the ongoing optimisations of hypervisors, there are still good use cases especially with high levels of small block random I/O where virtualisation has too high a cost.  On the other hand, I don't want to lose the benefits of an orchestrator with multi-tenant and dashboards.
