#48: remove rsyslog from default image, configure journald options appropriately
------------------------------+-------------------------------
Reporter: mattdm | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Fedora 21 (Alpha)
Component: Cloud Base Image | Keywords:
------------------------------+-------------------------------
Right now, we have two logging systems installed by default in the Fedora
Cloud image. While obviously rsyslog needs to continue to be an option, I
don't think we should be shipping it by default. (After dhclient, it's the
second-largest memory consumer, for one thing.) This requires some rework
to the cloud-init package -- that's what's pulling it in now.
We should also consider the journal options we want by default; probably
settings optimized for less memory consumption are better.

#35: External need: Automatic Image Upload
--------------------+-------------------------------
Reporter: mattdm | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Fedora 21 (Alpha)
Component: --- | Keywords:
--------------------+-------------------------------
'''Summary:''' Whenever an image is built, it is automatically uploaded to
our cloud provider targets (EC2, etc.) and to the fedora ftp site (and
possibly mirrors if we can convince mirror admins to drink from that
firehose)
'''Importance:''' vital (current process where rel eng does it by hand
will not scale)
'''Timeframe:''' whenever we can get it / this adds value whenever it
happens
'''Fedora Sub-Project/SIG:''' Release Engineering, possibly Infrastructure
for resources
'''Cloud SIG owner:''' TBD (note summer intern may help with that, if it
is not too late)
Possibly we file this as a change. Also see previous intern's initial
work: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/cloud-image-service.git/
We need someone to help drive this, and to assist rel-eng and
infrastructure in whatever they need.

#13: Port Cloud Image Kickstart to anaconda/imagefactory
------------------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: mattdm | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Fedora 21
Component: Cloud Base Image | Keywords:
------------------------------+-----------------------
Rel-Eng is updating to Koji 1.9, which will allow us to use Anaconda and
ImageFactory for image creation instead of appliance-creator.
* What: The current kickstart file is full of kludges for appliance-
creator. Port to anaconda/imagefactory kludges
* Where: same as ongoing maintenance of kickstart
* Why: appliance-creator is being retired; anaconda-based installs are the
way forward
* When: As soon as this is available in Koji. Need a new ImageFactory
release, then patches into Koji for support, then a new Koji release, then
Koji needs to be updated in Fedora production
* Who: Ian McLeod is working on ImageFactory; Jay Greguske on the Koji
patches, Mike McLean is Koji maintainer, Dennis Gilmore in release
engineering will do the Koji update. Need to work with them to get this in
place, and then someone from cloud wg needs to do the updating.

#51: start communication/collaboration on cloud image updates
--------------------+---------------------
Reporter: mattdm | Owner:
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Future
Component: --- | Keywords: meeting
--------------------+---------------------
At today's FESCo meeting, FESCo approved
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/%28A%29Periodic_Updates_to_Cloud_Ima…
but wants us to get started actually changing the hand-waving parts about
* policies (when exactly we will do off-cycle updates)
* QA expectations (the exact testing requirements)
* QA contribution (commitments to help with the automation and possible
manual testing)
* release engineering help (contributing scripts/code/effort as needed)
We really need people to sign up for each of these -- not necessarily to
do all the work, but to take ownership of the communication and
coordination for each.

they're not.
* '''When:''' Before the very first alpha release candidate (RC) of Fedora
21 is due.
