Hi, David: I am speaking as a CloudStack user/admin/operator here.
Here is an issue which really really drives me crazy, but should be relatively easy for a java developer to work on: improving error log messages! Here is a specific example: when deploying a VM instance fails, often the error message simply says “InsufficientServerCapacityException: Unable to create a deployment” along with a stack trace, but without any easily understandable information. I have encountered this error for at least a dozen different reasons. This message really can be improved to provide more context and human understandable output to help CloudStack admins to troubleshoot the real problem. Good luck.
