Flavor selection is difficult with many flavors

[Scott Devoid]

If you have many flavors, the flavor option-select section of the Instance Launch modal becomes very difficult to use.

Due to the way that nova works, it is often necessary to create many flavors. For example, in our medium sized deployment, we have over 40 flavors: 4 machine types x 5 flavor sizes on each machine type x 2 different storage configurations = 40 flavors.

A table similar to the Admin-panel's Flavors page would be much more useful.

Yes, it looks like you are all way ahead of me on this! :-)

Don't hesitate to reach out to the folks working on this if you'd like to help out. For instance I believe there is a patch up for review for this, I'm sure feedback would be welcome. Cheers!

Marking "Won't Fix" since the Launch Instance enhancements will change how flavors are selected.
