Whiteboard

General status: all the necessary patches are now up for review, see list below.

Plan listing
----------------
Get a list of existing plans.

- Common:
  - Mistral action -> [rbrady] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/300221/ (Merged)
  - Add Zaqar messaging [flfuchs] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/347932/ ABANDONED, not needed
- Client command - [jpichon] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/350498/ (Merged)
- UI - [flfuchs] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/347919/ (Merged)

Creating a plan from a JSON file
------------------------------------------------
Mistral action/workflow that accepts a list of filenames and their content in a JSON structure in order to create a new plan. The workflow should create a Swift container with these files then create a new plan for it.

Example structure:
{
    "filename.yaml": "this file contents",
    "directory/other_dir/other_file.yaml": "that file contents"
}

A new workflow was created and abandoned for this ( https://review.openstack.org/#/c/347830/ - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/348216/ ). The upstream preference seems to be to upload to Swift directly (ideally in a tarball) then call the create_plan action.

- UI: (Parse the JSON file list and upload files to Swift directly -- or remove the ability to upload individual files and only allow tarball uploads) (Perhaps single JSON file upload + automatic extraction could be handled on the swift side with some kind of custom middleware? - http://docs.openstack.org/ops-guide/ops-customize-objectstorage.html) [flfuchs] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/360550/ + https://review.openstack.org/#/c/361561/ (both merged)

Deleting an existing plan
---------------------------------------

- Common:
  - Mistral action - rbrady strikes again! https://review.openstack.org/#/c/299937/ (Merged)
  - Workflow - should we consider using the action directly? (note: client patch calls action directly)
- Client command [jpichon] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/350617/ (Merged)
- UI [akrivoka, flfuchs] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/356458/ (Merged)

Starting a deployment
----------------------------------

- Common: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/298732/ (Merged)
- CLI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/342261/ (Merged)
- UI: [jtomasek] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/357125/ - This is tracked separately as part of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/tripleo-ui/+spec/deployment-using-mistral-workflow . Because of that and since this blueprint is already large enough, I'm going to mark it as Implemented.

Additional work
-----------------------
Once this way of creating a plan is done, we probably want to refactor the 'create plan from tarball' workflow to do something similar. Right now the logic to create the Swift container is handled in the UI when it should really be handled in Mistral. This refactoring is separate from this blueprint and will be handled as part of another bug (to be linked later).
