Can anyone give a brief architectural overview? (having not looked at it
at all I was wondering stuff like:)
"Mostly single server node communication via xmlrpc. Written almost
entirely in python. node auth uses ssl. Only a few deps on libraries
(maybe 10), uses mysql database" type thing.
KVM nodes, The NASA Nova CC cloud controller, AMQP for messaging,
there's a storage component that I don't believe is released yet but
its object based and E3 compatible. I think some components will
already be in fedora (AMQP/KVM) and some won't be. I noticed NTT is
involved and they released recently the "sheep dog" [1] distribured
storage that is now integrated into qemu so I wonder if it might not
be based on that.
There was a good break down diagram but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
