A Lightweight Proposal for Fast Booting Many Homogeneous Virtual Machines for OpenStack Compute (nova)

Nova supports to boot virtual machines (VMs) atop the Cinder volumes. However, in the current implementation (version i), booting up a large number of homogeneous VMs is time-consuming. To overcome this drawback, we propose a lightweight patch for Nova, which adopts a third-party library, called VMThunder, for fast ...
