All,
Our effort to move to Debian9 systemvmtemplate seems to be soon coming to conclusion, the following high-level goals have been achieved so far: - Several infra improvements such as faster patching (no reboots on patching), smaller setup/patch scripts and even smaller cloud-early-config, old file cleanups and directory/filesystem refactorings - Tested and boots/runs on KVM, VMware, XenServer and HyperV (thanks to Paul for hyperv) - Boots, patches, runs systemvm/VR in about 10s (tested with KVM/XenServer and NFS+SSDs) with faster console-proxy (cloud) service launch - Disk size reduced to 2GB from the previous 3+GB with still bigger /var/log partition - Migration to systemd based cloud-early-config, cloud services etc (thanks Wido!) - Strongswan provided vpn/ipsec improvements (ports based on work from Will/Syed) - Several fixes to redundant virtual routers and scripts for VPC (ports from Remi json/gzip PR and additional fixes/improvements to execute update_config faster) - Packages installation improvements (thanks to Rene for review) - Several integration test fixes -- all smoke tests passing on KVM and most on XenServer, work on fixing VMware test failures is on-going - Several UI/UX improvements and systemvm python codebase linting/unit tests added to Travis Here's the pull request: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2211 I've temporarily hosted the templates here: http://hydra.yadav.xyz/debian9/ Outstanding tasks/issues: - Should we skip rVR related tests for VMware noting a reference to a jira ticket to renable them once the feature is support for VMware? - Fix intermittent failures for XenServer and test failures on VMware - Misc issues and items (full checklist available on the PR) - Review and additional test effort from community After your due review, if we're able to show that the test results are on par with the previous 4.9.2.0/4.9.3.0 smoke test results (i.e. most are passing) on XenServer, KVM, and VMware I would proceed with merging the PR by end of this month.
