[Armando Migliaccio <Armando.Migliaccio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Devin,

thanks for this update. Below you mentioned support for managing Nova volumes, floating IPs. Can you tell us a bit more about this? 

I cannot see a volume section in the dashboard UI, are there specific extensions to pull into the code?

Thanks,
Armando
