Marios Andreou created DTACLOUD-446:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Openstack - make it easier to connect to 'public'
openstack providers (like HP)
Key: DTACLOUD-446
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD-446
Project: DeltaCloud
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Marios Andreou
Assignee: Marios Andreou
(from irc discussion with Christian Karnath)
(12:36:20) Christian_: marios: in general - does a speciazlized hp driver makes
sense? i mean hp is a public cloud provider like amazon and for ec2 for example
you dont need to supply a api_url
(12:36:57) marios: Christian_: hmm.. not sure about that - kinda defeats the
object/goes against the spirit of openstack
(12:37:22) pblaho [pblaho@nat/redhat/x-tdojjupsuwxxrqjs] entered the room.
(12:37:24) marios: Christian_: i mean - unless there's some wild deviation in
the hp implementation from vanilla openstack - but afaik there isn't
(12:37:41) marios: Christian_: it would mean we'd need a new driver for every
openstack provider out there
(12:39:35) marios: Christian_: do you think we need a specialised hp driver?
(12:40:36) marios: Christian_: if the only reason for it is the 'provider url'
- we could consider another solution.. like an additional parameter ....
deltacloudd -i openstack -api_url 'hp'
(12:40:43) marios: Christian_: and we define that somewhere
(12:40:49) marios: Christian_: or are you thinking about more that this?
(12:41:04) Christian_: marios: i know... hmm good question. the benefit will be
a longer list of supported providers (not every users know that hp runs
openstack)
(12:41:16) Christian_: marios: well and the setup is muck easier
(12:41:28) Christian_: marios: only username, password and region is required
as an input parameter
(12:42:01) Christian_: marios: it would be as easy as connecting to ec2
(12:42:43) marios: Christian_: right - then how about what i suggest above then:
(12:42:51) marios: (12:40:36) marios: Christian_: if the only reason for it is
the 'provider url' - we could consider another solution.. like an additional
parameter .... deltacloudd -i openstack -api_url 'hp'
(12:43:14) marios: Christian_: (just an example - we can think/discuss the
syntax etc)
(12:43:38) Christian_: marios: additional parameter is fine too (if /api/realms
is implemented for the realm stuff...)
(12:44:06) marios: Christian_: ok - lets put this on ice for now - i'll file a
jira for it now so we don't forget... sec
