Does each Deltacloud framework instance could only have one driver?
by Yufang Zhang
Hi guys,
Sorry to post my message here because I haven`t gotten response from
deltacloud-users mailing list. I am a newbie of deltacloud and I have
setup the framework of deltacloud on my fedora 11 host, with mock as its
default driver. Also I installed portal of deltacloud through which I
can manage instances and images.
But I`d like to konw if each Deltacloud framework instance could only
have one driver(mock or rhev-m or ec2). In other words, if you want to
work with multiple different clouds, is it compulsory that you have to
start multiple framework instances, each of which has its own default
driver(and the only driver)?
BTW, could anybody give some information on how to get work with RHEV-M
driver? It seems that neither of the READMEs of framework or portal has
covered this.
Thank you in advance.

[Libcloud-list] libcloud design plans going forward
by Hugh O. Brock
Now that we have a demo UI put together Scott and I wanted to start
serious discussion around what to implement next for the dloud
portal. Here's a list of things to discuss, please comment in-line.
deltacloud-portal-design-points
===============================
Date: 2009-08-25 16:47:26 EDT
1 What's missing in the models
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Storage (and the whole boatload of issues around image management)
+ Custom attributes
+ Actions
2 Polling and updating
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Lots to do here figuring out how we're going to poll the different
driver/providers for updates.
+ Also we need to work out a parallel monitoring API -- do we need
separate monitoring drivers?
3 Permissions model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ We know portal users will need and be granted permissions on pools
+ Do we need single-user ownership of pools as well?
+ Do we need to track images and realms on the cloud providers and
relate them back to our users, or is the user->pool->account
mapping sufficient for this?
4 Validation infrastructure, going down to the drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Names (validity, length, uniqueness)
5 Explicit mods to "Flavor"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ RAM
+ CPU
+ Storage
6 oVirt driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ dcloud pool would map to a single VM pool in oVirt
7 Quotas
~~~~~~~~
+ We need to be aware of cloud-side quotas
+ We need to manage portal-side quotas on pools
8 Proxy vs. Portal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ Is the proxy API the same as the deltacloud API, or is there more
going on there
9 What additional non-REST APIs if any do we support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ QMF?
+ Web services (SOAP)?
10 Monitoring/stats display
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do we fit the widget in?
