Hallo all.
Together with Tomas, Jan and with contribution of many others we have
put together the proposal for the Broker project and put it into a wiki
page.
https://github.com/aeolusproject/conductor/wiki/BrokerProject
This page aims to explain what we want to do, why and how and also
suggest some ways how the goal can be reached.
We highly welcome your inputs, ideas, comments, opposing suggestions,
etc.
So, please, read the page and provide your feedback.
Overall, I think this is an excellent summary of the situation. A few
thoughts:
- We start off by listing three pieces -- app management, cloud broker,
and a GUI. But in elaborating in the components, we omit the UI. We
could probably do something with Winged Monkey, or maybe even with the
ManageIQ stuff going forward. I agree that it should be separate from
the app management and cloud broker components, but I think the web
interface is something that needs to exist, somewhere.
- As I read the bit about cloud broker, having not been involved in the
conversation for a little bit, it occurs to me that it sounds a lot
closer to what Deltacloud does than Conductor did. It almost sounds more
like an extension to Deltacloud than a stand-alone app, at least at a
high level.
Overall, I think this page is a really good summary of previous
discussions, and is quite helpful to me. I find I'm gravitating towards
option 2, though not necessarily out of any strong architectural merits.
