As a public cloud operator we often get the question of changing the ownership of resources, especially VMs. With that said, changing ownership of a VM is of course possible today, with snapshot. End users does not seam very happy with that answer, and they would like to have a more "cloudy way" of doing that. So, seamlessly moving resources would be the preferable option. And that doesn't only apply for VMs, full heat stacks and its resources is on the table. Also preferable is some kind invite/approve process.
What are the hurdles to implement such a feature? What would be an good enough solution?
During the PTG in Denver we had discussion regarding this, mostly with Nova, and we would like to continue those discussion together with more operators and more teams represented.
