Dan Smith 23c5f3d585 Make resource tracker use UUIDs instead of names
This makes the resource tracker look up and create ComputeNode objects
by uuid instead of nodename. For drivers like ironic that already
provide 'uuid' in the resources dict, we can use that. For those
that do not, we force the uuid to be the locally-persisted node
uuid, and use that to find/create the ComputeNode object.

A (happy) side-effect of this is that if we find a deleted compute
node object that matches that of our hypervisor, we undelete it
instead of re-creating one with a new uuid, which may clash with our
old one. This means we remove some of the special-casing of ironic
rebalance, although the tests for that still largely stay the same.

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware and OpenStack Ironic.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
