But a small comment: naming it as "Wishlist" can be misleading; probably you didn't intend it that way, and are just doing the necessary "bug metadata work". Because migrating disks over an encrypted channel is a strong requirement for many IT Orgs. FWIW, quoting from DanPB's RFC[*] on qemu-devel (from Feb 2015):
"We have a broad goal in OpenStack that every network channel in use
must have encryption and authentication capabilities. Currently all
the communication channels between the end user and the cloud
infrastructure edge servers are secured, but internally a number of
the cloud infrastructure components are unsecured. For example, we
recommend to tunnel migration via libvirt, though that excludes use
of the NBD for block migration since libvirt can't currently tunnel
that. [...]
"Essentially the project considers that it is no longer sufficient
to consider the private management LAN (on which the cloud
infrastructure is deployed) to be fully trusted; it must be
considered hostile."
Yep, agreed on te Blueprint: here we go: https:/ /blueprints. launchpad. net/nova/ +spec/support- qemu-native- tls-for- live-migration
