Revision to FEATURES.rst
This patch proposes several changes to the FEATURES list: - 'Support Scheduled Actions' [High->Middle] This is supposed to be a feature from monitoring services, e.g. Ceilometer/Aodh where they have cron based event/alarms. - 'API Versioning Support' [Middle->High] With a first official release coming soon, we need to freeze API changes to 1.0. Any future changes will need a bump of API version unless it is a pure bug-fix. However, before bumping API versions, we need a API versioning scheme in place to manage the versions. - 'CoreOS based Container Support' [Low->High] Since CoreOS is just a VM image positioned as a guest OS on OpenStack. We can easily support it with not much effort. The lessons/experiences learned therein would be very helpful for guiding our next step towards managing container clusters. - 'Define and Enforce Quotas' [Middle->Low] This is no longer merely a senlin project's concern. There is a cross-project effort on doing this. We will just need to keep an eye on that effort instead of doing local inventions. [https://review.openstack.org/284454] - 'Container/Docker Support' [Low->Middle] We are working toward that direction anyway, though there are many details to be figured out. - 'Make use of ServerGroup API' [Low->DELETED] We are already doing that in the 'affinity' policy. - 'Versioned Object Support' [Low->Middle] We will need such a feature to support live service upgrade. This has to be done before Newton release (Oct/2016). Change-Id: I9eb8e093dc7fe3779a8d05e9ab8feb1cd93f7fb3
