Analysis of Ubuntu's Cloud-Utils package
by Stephen John Smoogen 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Promised this for Friday and its still barely that here :). This package is currently a set of scripts to allow Ubuntu's Cloud members to create, deploy, and manipulate Eucalyptis virtual images. Code is GPLv3 and the package is done in Debian style (which is starting to grow on me as an equivalent to sysv.d type building.) The code is all shell scripts and man pages. I really appreciate coders who take the time to do a man page even for a simple shell script. Description of programs are taken from man page. [Code could do with more comments to help analysis :).. but for the most part is self-documenting. ssh-import-lp-id # retrieve one or more public keys from Launchpad.net and append them to the current user’s authorized_keys file uec-publish-image # publish a cloud image using euca-tools. uec-publish-tarball # publish the tar ball using euca-tools. uec-query-builds # request information about available cloud images builds uec-resize-image # resize a cloud image. # basically it does the right things to resize using euca-tools. The package of course could be opened up to further cloud type engines. For us, we would look at ssh-import-lp-id from FAS or something but boy that seems like a security issue somewhere (hey look mah, I can just add my p0wn address from FAS/launchpad.) However, that is just a gut feeling and will probably fail a real risk analysis. -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp. Or what's a heaven for? -- Robert Browning

EC2 kernel image status
by Justin Forbes 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

The good news is that I have F12 images uploaded. The bad news is that we cannot use them yet. It seems there is a permissions problem with our account which won't let me register kernel images. Amazon is on it, and I expect resolution soon. Once the permissions are fixed, it is just a couple of quick commands to make them visible and usable. -- Justin M. Forbes

Testers needed for euca2ools bugfix update
by Garrett Holmstrom 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hi folks, As expected for any new package, euca2ools has had a metric ton of bugfixes over the past few weeks that have been rolled up into a bugfix update, euca2ools-1.2-2. Testing and commentary in bodhi once it hits updates-testing would be appreciated, especially if you are able to test any of the issues listed in the release notes. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/euca2ools-1.2-2.fc12 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/euca2ools-1.2-2.fc13 -- Revolutionary: disk drives go round and round

Meeting minutes from last Thursday's "meeting", heh
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

So we had a meeting last Thursday, of sorts: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-03-18/fedora-meeting.2… It was very quick. The takeaway: 1. We really need to get the latest AKI uploaded if we want to move on to the next step: allowing our users to test. Which means we're blocking on Justin for this. Justin promised this would happen Real Soon Now -- feel free to offer your encouragement to him on this point. ;) 2. At some point in the not-too-distant future, the AKI isn't going to matter anymore. (Not a point for wide dissemination at this point -- I have details, and if you'd like them, contact me.) That is all. --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free. Visit http://opensource.com/education and join the conversation.

Meeting reminder (US folks, note time change!)
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Hi everybody. Since daylight savings time has started in the US, that means that we're going to be getting together at 5pm Eastern US time, which is 2100 GMT. Our biggest goal continues to be the uploading of our kernels, and the discussion will probably center around getting that done, and what we can do to drive (a) testing the kernel, (b) the tools for building an image around that kernel, and (c) turning standard spins into standard AMIs. See you all this afternoon. irc.freenode.net, #fedora-meeting. --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.

"default virt server"
by Colin Walters 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Hi, Continuing the discussion from: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-February/131318.html I am looking at: http://github.com/huff/kickstart-stuff/blob/master/fedora-ec2-min.ks In the big picture I think we need to tease apart a few different concepts: * Stuff generic to fully automating creating a small-ish server skeleton accessible over ssh (target case: virt-install) * Stuff specific to EC2 * "Minimization" - For example, removing localization Let me reattach my proposed file here. Also, I would really like to have this be an Official Fedora Spin, by which I mean, you guys can't keep disabling SELinux. And it should be hosted in spin-kickstarts. Other random stuff: * Why acpid explicitly? Kill it, kill it dead.

Cloud meeting: I'm on a plane
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Because of travel delays, I will be on a plane during our scheduled meeting time. If someone else wants to lead the meeting, I'm fine with that; otherwise, I'm happy to wait until next week. Here's my status for the week: Amazon is working on "something big" that we can't really talk about in public, and it affects the way we will be uploading kernels. They were supposed to announce something last Friday, but they haven't -- which means that, to some degree, we're in a holding pattern. Until this "big thing" happens, though, we should still be able to upload our latest kernel for testing, and if we can get an AKI uploaded that works for F12, we should be able to start building images. In fact, I think we should be trying to upload both F12 and F13-beta images. Justin -- are we ready to upload AKIs for F12 and F13-beta? Any impediments at this point? --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free. Visit http://opensource.com/education and join the conversation.

Meeting reminder: Cloud SIG
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello folks -- meeting reminder. Bat-time: 4pm eastern US time Bat-channel: irc.freenode.net, #fedora... cloud? meeting? Bat-agenda: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraOnEC2 It's also been proposed, and it seems like a good idea, that we should be holding these meetings on #fedora-meeting. The only issue is that there's *exactly* one hour free on #fedora-meeting during our current meeting window: infrastructure is before us, and fedora-latam is after us. I'm confident that we can keep our meetings to an hour, and if necessary we can always wander over to #fedora-cloud if we've got opens that continue to require discussion. So mmcgrath, since you have the time block from 3pm-4pm, tell us: do your meetings ever run longer than an hour? Because if so, I'd like to move over to #fedora-meeting *today*. --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.

Eucalyptus test system
by graziano obertelli 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hello, I thought that having a small Eucalyptus test system may be helpful to check EC2 interface, and perhaps it may help in developing the EC2 image for fedora. Let me know if this is the case and I can give access to some installation of the latest Eucalyptus code. cheers graziano -- Graziano Obertelli Eucalyptus Systems, Inc. 130 Castilian St. Goleta, CA 93117 Office: 805-845-8000 www.eucalyptus.com
