valence 0.9.0.dev301

Openstack Valence Project

Valence is a service for lifecycle management of pooled bare-metal hardware infrastructure. The concept of pooled storage (SSDs or nvmE) disaggregated from compute nodes and network disaggregated from compute and storage provides the flexibility to compose and uses as and when the cloud requires more server resources. Valence provides the capability “compose” hardware nodes and release resources as needed by the overcloud.

Valence supports Redfish as default management protocol to communicate to hardware. It supports Rack Scale Design (RSD), Open architecture for management of disaggregated server hardware resources, which is standardized in Redfish. Valence also provides capability to manage other vendors disaggregated hardware using their respective drivers other than Redfish.
