Wido den Hollander closed CLOUDSTACK-451. ----------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed We moved to Debian 9 now and we will probably won't to something else very soon > System VMs shouldn't be just Debian based > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-451 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-451 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Reporter: Wido den Hollander > Assignee: ilya musayev > Fix For: Future > > > This one is tied into: CLOUDSTACK-450 > Currently our System VMs are a Debian based template which are pretty big. > If we abstract the way we talk to the System VM by adding an API it shouldn't > matter anymore which distro or OS will be running in there. > Some users might want to use a different distribution or build their own > homebrew System VM as long as they implement the API. > Most System VM tasks can be done in Read-Only mode as well, the filesystem of > the System VM doesn't need to be R/W, which would make them more robust. > In the end a System VM shouldn't have to be bigger then something like 50MB > when stripped down. > This issue is here to raise awareness that this has to be addressed at some > point. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
