[Fiware-cloud] Flavor metadata in images

[Álvaro Alonso]

Alex, the solution there is to include in images info regarding capacity (in terms of CPU, mem, disk and not directly a flavour) and then select the flavours that fit that requirements.

The problem comes when a user tries to launch an image that needs, for instance, 1GB of disk to install the SO using a flavour of 500 MB.

The separation between flavors and images was done by design In OpenStack so that you decouple between image and the required resources. I agree it would be nice to show only the flavors that can be used but this should be decoupled from the image (i.e., if you have max 200GB free mem on all hosts don't show flavors with mem > 200MB).
