looks very nice.
This is actually very interesting (and requested by multiple folks) but
i'd like to see if we should focus on the more simple "upload iso's"
or
it doing more than just upload ISO's, but also VMs.
for the latter, architecture would probably be a servlet[1] on the
engine and stream to vdsm to write to storage, so both vm disks and/or
iso's could be uploaded/downloaded.
using ssh and/or nfs to send artifacts to hosts is something we should avoid so using
iso/image uploader tools are not a solution.
vdsm should support uploading images using its own protocol based on the authentication
between engine and vdsm, is it already?
this should be a core feature not an add-on within the current monolithic implementation,
as there is no access to vdsm interaction from any of the interfaces.
