RE: FS for host updates notifications

I was thinking of having HostUpdatesManager in CloudStack core which will enumerate the adapters of different hypervisors and those adapters will be implemented in the plugin framework. Initially we have the implementation for XenServisor hypervisor. In the similar manner, adapters for other hypervisors can also be implemented. The Xenserver adapter will list the hosts that are being managed by the caller management server and check the updates for the same. This is to handle clustered scenario.
I'll update the document with this information.

Please let me know your comments on this.
 
Regards,
Sanjay

Sanjay,

This feature needs to be contained within the XenServer plugin framework.  It should not make changes to the CloudStack core.

Hi Sanjay,

Please do respond to folks like Wido, Chip and myself. Currently it
appears that the consensus is that this functionality is inappropriate
for and unwanted in CloudStack.

Any followup thoughts on Wido / David / my concerns about this feature?
