| 7 | | The Aggregate Manager API has been in use for over a year. This |
| 8 | | session will seek agreement on several proposed changes to the |
| 9 | | API. These changes may include adding support for cheap resource |
| 10 | | reservations (tickets), supporting dynamic updates to single |
| 11 | | aggregate reservations (updateSliver), finer grain control of |
| 12 | | reservations at aggregates (slice vs sliver vs sliverGroup), and |
| 13 | | richer return structures from API calls. |

| | 9 | The Aggregate Manager API has been in use for over a year. This session will seek agreement on several proposed changes to the |
| | 10 | API. These changes include (1) supporting optional per-aggregate options, (2) changing all method return structures to provide richer feedback, (3) adding support for !UpdateSliver to dynamically add or remove resources from your slice, and (4) beginning discussions about tickets to support negotiated reservations, brokering, scheduling, and other future features. |

| | 12 | '''Note''': The [wiki:GEC12CodingSprint Coding Sprint session] on Friday afternoon will be used to further specify some of the changes discussed here. That session will ensure common handling of edge cases, error conditions, and other implementation details. |
