May 1, 2025May 2025 monthly summary for sapcc/nova: Implemented Block Device Mapping-based BFV Rescue for VMware to extend Boot from Volume rescue workflows to VMware instances. The feature leverages Block Device Mapping in the compute API, detects VMware via flavor extra specs, and conditionally bypasses image property checks to support VMware environments. This reduces rescue friction in VMware deployments and improves disaster recovery readiness.
