Archived/Ubuntu XAPI Toolstack Improvements Spec
Summary
The XCP Toolstack is an open source, server and cloud virtualization platform which provides a rich management API on top of the Xen hypervisor. The purpose of this blueprint is to discuss improvements to the Ubuntu XCP Toolstack that we wish to make during the Q-series development cycle. We would also like to discuss ideas for improving the interaction between the XCP Toolstack and other Cloud and Server managment interfaces, such as OpenStack, CloudStack, and Juju.
Rationale
XCP itself is undergoing a core archetectural change (dom0 disagregation), and we need to discuss the best way for Ubuntu Server to take advantage of this major change.
User stories
We'll flesh out these user stories as we get a better idea of what improvement projects we'd like to work on during the Q-series development cycle.
- (Story about using Juju with XCP Toolstack)
- (Story about creating driver domains, say for using ZFS, with the XCP Toolstack)
- (Story about developing OpenStack on Ubuntu, Xen, and the XCP Toolstack)
- (Story about provisioning Ubuntu/XCP Toolstack servers with Puppet)
Assumptions
None at the moment.

Please see the Project Kronos Spec from the Precise UDS for a design discussion.
