This is a really great list! With regard to cluster health and 
monitoring, I did a bunch of stuff with Swift before turning to nova and 
really appreciated the
way each swift service has a "healthcheck" call that can be used by a 
monitoring system. While I don't think providing a production-ready 
monitoring system should be part of core OpenStack, it is the core 
architects who really know what needs to be checked to ensure that a 
system is healthy. There are various sets of poking at ports, process 
lists and so on that Crowbar, Zenoss, etc. set up but it would be a big 
improvement for deployers if each openstack service provided healthcheck 
apis based on expert knowledge of what is supposed to be happening 
inside. That would also insulate deployers from changes in the code that 
might impact what it means to be running properly. Looking forward to 
the discussion.
