Hi devs, Initially this idea is came from Sanjiva, to minimize the barriers to contribution to Stratos. After chat I had with Sanjiva, I have thought about what scenarios do we need to cover from this. Here is some points I like to discuss. For a time being will call it "Stratos Dev IaaS" :)
- get rid of complexity of the current IaaS setup which required in Stratos. for a example even setting up OpenStack in single node, required lot of resources, well as some deeper networking knowledge. - this should easy to setup. - should run with low resource. For achieve this, I am thinking of directly create LXC as Cartridges. - when developer need to do testing on some smart deployments policies, it required, multi regions, zones ..etc IaaS environments which is very hard to set it up or its very costly. So with this, we should create mockups regions, zones ..etc. - support mockup private IP and public IP - support mockup multi network interfaces - support mockup persistence volume for instances - support API, which can call from jclouds We can complete above features one by one but we should have proper design to start up. I can take the ownership of developing this, since I have done similar kind of IaaS in some times back [1]. But until mid feb I have full my calendar with multiple engagement, but will try to kickoff this. Thoughts , help appreciate on this.
