OpenStack Policy Project = Senlin could use TOSCA

["Mr. Matthew Rutkowski" <mrutkows@us.ibm.com>]

Just wanted to raise awareness of the OpenStack Senlin project which works "on-top" of Heat and with both Heat and either Ceilometer or Monasca monitoring projects to manage policies in may areas. 

I have been meeting with the Project Lead with IBM China Research and are seeing how TOSCA policies could be used to be a standard way to represent/express their policies.  

Their thinking includes the areas we already cover, but also includes things we do not yet like "delete", "update", "scale-down", "monitoring", etc.

Here are some of their policies:

I hope to use these as inputs to our own TOSCA use cases.

Matt
