Summary
Support Creating EBS boot volumes when boot-time
Release Note
When this is implemented, VM will use auto-created volumes as root and local(defined on flovor 'local_gb'). The 'auto_create_boot_volumes' flag should be True to tragger this logic.
Rationale
With BootFromVolume blueprint, we can use a volume as root like EC2 supports EBS-based volume. But it needs pre-created and pre-os-installed volumes.
With this blueprint, below steps will be added.
User stories
- Administrator will set 'auto_create_boot_volumes' flag to True.
- User will see instances booted with volumes attached.
Assumptions
For root volume support, the following blueprints are assumed.
Design
TBD
Implementation
TBD
UI Changes
Code Changes
TBD Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details.
Migration
TBD Include:
- data migration, if any
- redirects from old URLs to new ones, if any
- how users will be pointed to the new way of doing things, if necessary.
Test/Demo Plan
This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.
Unresolved issues
TBD
BoF agenda and discussion
Use this section to take notes during the BoF; if you keep it in the approved spec, use it for summarising what was discussed and note any options that were rejected.
