Bala, I think using Salt as the orchestration framework is a good idea. We would still need to have a consistent distributed store. I hope Salt has the provision to use one of our choice. It could be consul or something that satisfies the criteria for choosing alternate technology. I would wait for a couple of days for the community to chew on this and share their thoughts. If we have a consensus on this, we could 'port' the 'basic'[1] volume management commands to a system built using Salt and see for real how it fits our use case. Thoughts? [1] basic commands - peer-probe, volume-create, volume-start and volume-add-brick ~KP ----- Original Message ----- > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Justin Clift" <justin@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > To: "Balamurugan Arumugam" <bala@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > Cc: "Kaushal M" <kshlmster@xxxxxxxxx>, gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx, "Gluster > > Devel" <gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2014 7:33:52 AM > > Subject: Re: [Gluster-devel] Proposal for GlusterD-2.0 > > > > On 11/09/2014, at 2:46 AM, Balamurugan Arumugam wrote: > > <snip> > > > WRT glusterd problem, I see Salt already resolves most of them at > > > infrastructure level.
