OpenStack Compute (nova)

What is the difference between "nova boot" and "nova zone-boot" ?

Asked by Jérôme Gallard

Hello,

I would like to know what is the difference between "nova boot" and "nova zone-boot" commands. Does it mean that "nova boot" is not aware of zones?

I read the code and, from my understanding, it seems that 2 implementations are made (for instance with zone-boot calls /zones/boot API whereas boot calls /servers API). I read the documentation too, but I didn't found nothing related to zone-boot.

Does someone can give me some help or pointers regarding this topic?

Thank you very much,
Jérôme

zone-boot was written to support booting instances across zones. This functionality has been moved into POST /servers and POST /zone/boot removed. I believe it still lives in novaclient for legacy purposes and will likely be removed from there soon too.
