Blazar is a resource reservation service for OpenStack. Blazar enables users
to reserve a specific type/amount of resources for a specific time period and
it leases these resources to users based on their reservations.

The following two resource types are currently supported:

* Compute host: reserve and lease with a unit of a whole host

* Instance: reserve and lease with a unit of a flavor
