Introduction

Currently, our compute offerings and disk offerings are tightly coupled with respect to many aspects. For example, if a compute offering is created, a corresponding disk offering entry is also created with the same ID as the reference. Also creating compute offering takes few disk-related parameters which anyway goes to the corresponding disk offering only. I think this design was initially made to address compute offering for the root volume created from a template. Also changing the offering of a volume is tightly coupled with storage tags and has to be done in different APIs either migrateVolume or resizeVolume. Changing of disk offering should be seamless and should consider new storage tags, new size and place the volume in appropriate state as defined in disk offering.
