Wido den Hollander commented on CLOUDSTACK-1147:
------------------------------------------------
The current state of these tools is horrible. So if we intend to keep them,
they have to be rewritten anyways.
> cloud-setup-* should be removed

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-1147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1147
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: Install and Setup
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0
> Reporter: Wido den Hollander
> Fix For: 4.2.0
>
>
> The tools like cloud-setup-databases, cloud-setup-management and
> cloud-setup-agent seem to come from the vmops/cloud.com time where CloudStack
> used to be a black box appliance.
> Now more and more people start using CloudStack I'm seeing all kinds of
> criticism on these tools:
> - They change files without telling the admin
> - They punch wholes through firewalls
> Those are two things which make sysadmins cry, especially if they want to
> manage their systems with Puppet or Chef.
> The steps for setting up an Agent are actually not that big and most of them
> are actually already documented.
> When a host is added through the GUI we shouldn't run cloud-setup-agent, but
> we should just check if the host is ready to be added and bail out if not.
> (And tell why)
> The same goes for the management server and databases.
> The databases is just a matter of importing the correct SQL files into the
> databases and populating db.properties with the correct credentials.
> Setting up the management server is also just a matter of creating the
> correct configuration files, firewalling ports and setting sudo permissions.
> We should tell system administrators what it is that he/she has to configure,
> not just do things without telling.
> Documentation is key here I think.
