OpenStack Essex Design Summit

Since the Diablo Summit, there have been a number of advances with Zones and Distributed Scheduler (particularly with the Least Cost scheduler) Additionally, there are still a lot of groups that have specific needs of the scheduler, such as: 1. the use of different metrics for making scheduling decisions, such as InstanceType, compute host ports/interfaces, etc 2. scheduling for networks and volumes 3. different cost/weighing calculations. This session is intended to talk about the requirements of these other groups and try to unify the solutions. We only have 55 minutes for this session, so let's try to get all the issues outlined on this wiki page first: http://wiki.openstack.org/EssexSchedulerSession
