In watcher, an audit generates a set of actions which aims at achieving a given goal (lower energy consumption, ...). It is possible to configure different strategies in order to achieve each goal. Each strategy is written as a Python class which produces a set of actions. Today, the set of possible actions is fixed for a given version of Watcher and enables optimization algorithms to include actions such as instance migration, changing hypervisor state, changing power state (ACPI level, ...). This patchset propose a generic and extensible way to describe the actions and his parameters that we want to add to Action Plan. It also remove the static actions because they are now deprecated. The documentation regarding strategy plugin need to be updated (plugins.rst).

Watcher
=======
OpenStack Watcher provides a flexible and scalable resource optimization
service for multi-tenant OpenStack-based clouds.
Watcher provides a complete optimization loop—including everything from a
metrics receiver, complex event processor and profiler, optimization processor
and an action plan applier. This provides a robust framework to realize a wide
range of cloud optimization goals, including the reduction of data center
operating costs, increased system performance via intelligent virtual machine
migration, increased energy efficiency—and more!
