I'd like to see more discussion on this (justification, as well as how you think it would be implemented) --russellb
I think the idea was to have a policy for "large" migrations, with a configurable threshold, so based on the flavor certain groups of users will be unable to perform certain operations.
However, this might be a mute point, because we don't migrate ephemeral disks, they get re-created on the destination host.
Not migrating the ephemeral disks has potential for data loss. We can change the migrations to include the ephemeral disks by default.
We can have a restriction on migrating large instances by the total disk size (root+ephemeral). We can also provide an option to exclude ephemeral disks during migrations if the customer only cares about the root disk.

Marking this blueprint as definition: Drafting. If you are still working on this, please re-submit via nova-specs. If not, please mark as obsolete, and add a quick comment to describe why. --johnthetubaguy (20th April 2014)
