Horizon-geo-trust-display

Revision as of 22:15, 9 July 2014 by Malini-k-bhandaru (talk | contribs) (Requesting Feedback)

OpenStack Horizon dashboard displays compute nodes, instances, and images available in an OpenStack cloud instance.

The goal here is to display whether the compute node has booted in a trusted manner and its geographical properties. We propose integrating in the UI the ability to provision geo tags. Likewise, for virtual machine instances, would like to display the geo of the machine it is running on. For images, would like to display any trust or geo constraints associated with the image.

For purposes of illustration, please refer to the images below captured from a proof of concept implementation developed at Intel.

  1. Use a map icon with a hover-over behavior that provides location details.

  1. Provide location information as country-string or city/state/country string with more details on hover-over. Or make it a link to a page with more details.
