Dear Stratos developers, I am Suriyapriya Veluchamy, currently an MS CS student at NPU, Fremont, CA, USA. I am interested in the GSOC project listed in jira - adding support for Google Compute Engine. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STRATOS-480
I had a few clarifications after going through Stratos documentation and codebase, in the last couple of days. I see that Cloud Controller is the component that directly interacts with laases. Rest of the components are lass agnostic (mostly?). I also see that jclouds is adding support for GCE - https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-google Not sure on the working status of the support. If somebody could brief on this, that would be helpful. Since stratos uses jclouds, it should have support for GCE ? (may be not all features may work) My question is about the scope of the project. Does it involve working with jcloud team as well to get the required support ? Or stratos will directly use the GCE apis to get the required support. I would like to measure the complexity of the work. Do you expect it to be more of integration with jclouds GCE support + fixing bugs + testing in stratos. Or would it be more full-fledged development needed to get the things working. I also see large scale testing as one of the goals. I haven't thought about it in detail. But, any suggestions on how much percent of total work would this item cover (may be 25-40%)? Please let me know if I am not clear in any of the questions. Thank you Suriya
