OpenStack Feature page
by Mark McLoughlin 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hey, Robyn suggested that, given the recent progress, we should put OpenStack forward as a Fedora 16. It would be a very late exception, so we'll need to make a good case to FESCo. I've drafted an initial feature page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OpenStack David, Angus and Matt - please feel free to add yourselves as owners. I'm not gonna pull this off without your help! :-) Next thing we're going to have to do is file a ticket with FESCo like the Java7 one: https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/663 Cheers, Mark.

Aeolus on F15 screencast (thanks, Mo!) and MY CHALLENGE TO YOU
by Robyn Bergeron 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Just thought I'd draw some love and attention to the recent screencast mmorsi put together showing Aeolus on F15: Blog post here - http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/343 Screencast here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Yb7I4M6mo Handily, he's also made a nice how-to-screencast blog post: http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/345 This, as you might have guessed by now, leads to... MY CHALLENGE TO YOU, Cloud SIG friends: F16 is due out in mere months - which means press is going to start focusing in on what's new in Fedora. If F15 press was any indication (ooh! Shiny Cloud Things!), I expect we'll be drawing more attention with the additional cloud pieces we now have. I think that running a mini-series of blogposts featuring screencasts of some of our Cloudy Features would be excellent. If we can get at least three more screencasts on any of the following topics: * pacemaker-cloud * sheepdog * condor-cloud * HekaFS * Additional cloudy things in Fedora that aren't features or are past features (BoxGrinder, OpenStack, Fedora on EC2) ... I will make MY OWN SCREENCAST of myself attempting to do Something Technical and Cloud-Related, probably along the lines of "Will it Blend?" but titled, "Can She Cloud?" ... or something like that. In fact, I might just leave it to everyone else's discretion what it is that I have to do. (Bounded by the line of, IT HAS TO BE CLOUD RELATED, of course.) Which could be fun. Or utterly embarrassing. But hopefully educational in some way. But first, there must be Other Screencasts. Do I hear any volunteers willing to make a screencast yet? :) -Robyn

OpenStack in EPEL
by Matt Domsch 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Quick show of hands: who cares about seeing OpenStack be in EPEL? I've been building on the excellent work that Mirantis, then Mark McLoughlin has been doing to get OpenStack components built in rawhide, and maybe (cross your fingers) F16. The same packages, with small tweaks, also work on RHEL. Status here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenStack#OpenStack_in_EPEL Now, before I go any further: who is with me? Is there pent-up user demand for OpenStack on RHEL, or service providers who are loyal to the RHEL family who would benefit from having the packages in EPEL? Or do we expect most OpenStack users to simply use Ubuntu/Canonical or a Citrix distribution thereof? I don't want to push packages that are likely to go unused. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO

Cloud Test Day
by Mark McLoughlin 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hey, Since there's so much cloud activity in F-16, perhaps we should organize a test day that covers all the various cloud bits? Looking at the schedule: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_16_test_days I guess there's two options: 1) Ask the virt folks very nicely whether they wouldn't mind us sharing their slot on 2011-09-15 2) Book the 2011-10-20 slot Thoughts? Cheers, Mark.

OpenStack in Fedora 15
by Robert Knight 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

As I have reported in the Wiki, there are troubles with the SysV init scripts on Fedora 15. The defect is caused by the change in F15 to a tmpfs for /var/run. Thus, the target directory for the pid's does not survive a reboot. So, some way is needed to (re-)create /var/run/glance and /var/run/nova or the startup scripts need to be changed to just put the pid's directly into /var/run, which will be there. Does anyone know whether there is a standard resolution to this? The Short-Description and Description fields in the SysV init script for openstack-glance-registry (as well as the other comments) is incorrect. The systemd packaging guidelines say that the systemd unit files should be sent back upstream. Does anyone know whether upstream would accept this?

Fedora EC2 image build instructions
by Justin Forbes 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

A walkthrough has been posted with instructions for building your own Fedora based EC2 images (both S3 and EBS backed) on the Fedora Wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG/EC2_Creation As a part of this, appliance definition files have been added to the cloud-kickstarts git repository fedorahosted.org: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=cloud-kickstarts.git While the current plan is to move official Fedora image generation to koji, we know that most users are not able to build images in koji. We wanted to ensure that there was a process by which the community could build EC2 images to meet their needs. As such, we will continue to maintain the Fedora appliance definition files with each release. The goal is to keep the appliance file as close to the official images as possible (read stripped down), so that you can add what you need and not worry about pulling in a lot of things you don't need. You can expect the appliance definition files for each release to appear at roughly the time of the alpha spin. We welcome feedback, comments, patches, etc. on both the documentation, and the supported appliance definitions. Thanks, Justin
