OpenStack API Gap Analysis

List of Nova features that are not (yet) accessible through the OpenStack API

Auth/global

• Ability to lockout a user for some time period after failed auth.
• Describe zones and regions (replaced with Sandy's zone work).

Admin

• Describe instance types (list flavors).
• CRUD users and projects (should not be in nova, should be in common auth middleware/server project).
• Associate roles between users and projects (probably belongs in common auth project too).
• Start/stop/list running vpns (cloudpipe)

Compute

• CRUD key pairs.
• Reference stored key pairs for injection.
• Console output (this is just a dump, not an ajax console).
• Ajax console works differently between ec2 and OS (I think).
• Metadata handler for booting instances. Not needed if we switch to only using guest agents or injection.
• Attach and detach volumes.
• Attach and detach floating IP addresses (this is not the same as shared IP groups).
• Associate and disassociate with network security groups.
• Connect with VPNs.
