| + | #REDIRECT [[Mogan]] |
| − | | |
| − | Nimble aims to separate bare metal computing management from Nova, which is designed specifically for BMs, so we can provide a more lightweight and convenient platform with more advanced features by leveraging Ironic. Besides this, we also plan to support RSD(Rack Scale Design), so we can not only provide Pre-set Configuration Servers but also Custom Servers.

| − | == Nimble Mission Statement ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To implement a service which focuses on the management of bare metal computing resources.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == What is Nimble? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The figure below describes how Nimble interact with other OpenStack services to manage bare metal servers.

| |
| − | | |
| − | == Why Nimble? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ironic only provides the capability to provision bare metal servers, which lacks scheduling ability and multitenancy support. Currently it is highly depends on Nova
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Use Cases ==
| |
| − | 1. NFV uses wants to orchestration and provisioning bare metal , with multi tenancy support.
| |
| − | 2. An enterprise user would like to float a cloud sourcing hardware within a datacenter, nimble will orchestrate RSD hardware resource to meet this requirement.
| |
| − | 3. An enterprise operator want to inventory all the physic assets, model the physic datacenter arch, mapping into a object model to help him manage physic assets, scheduling and optimize within datacenter.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == RSD Integration==
| |
| − | Rack Scale Design (RSD) implementations represent the next generation of Software Defined Infrastructure that can be dynamically provisioned across compute, network and storage resources.The fundamental premise for an RSA-based solution is the customers’ ability to “right-size” their endto-end infrastructure needs according to anticipated workload performance and capacity requirements, across pooled resources.

| |
| − | VALENCE is a controller for Pooled and composable resources which adhere to DMTF[1] Redfish[2] with hardware management requests. That includes provisioning and management of RSD components and underlay features.
