Re: [Nova] Essex dead wood cutting

 

With the Hyper-V support  being phased out, I would be interested to
understand:

- What hypervisors are being used for running Windows guests (both Windows 7
and Windows Server) on top of OpenStack ?
- To what extent will Microsoft support problems reported with a Windows
guest running on a non-Microsoft hypervisor ?
- Are there other sites who are affected by this proposal who would be
willing to invest effort to maintain the Hyper-V support ?

I'll be taking the existing Zones code out of API and Distributed Scheduler.
The new Zones infrastructure is an optional component.

Just as Nova enters feature freeze, it sounds like a good moment to consider
removing deprecated, known-buggy-and-unmaintained or useless feature code
from the Essex tree.

Here are my suggestions for removal:

- Ajaxterm (unmaintained, security issues, replaced by VNC console)
- Hyper-V support (known broken and unmaintained)

I'm sure that everyone has suggestions on other dead wood that we should cut
now rather than ship in Essex... please comment.
