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 add a common generic dynamic loader for plugins, such as for custom Actions, Strategies, Planners, etc. Partially implements: blueprint watcher-add-actions-via-conf Change-Id: I59d031b93865fff2540e3973921e1bdafa95f88e

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!
