Ignasi Barrera commented on JCLOUDS-416:
----------------------------------------
The TemplateBuilder should contain portable options to "find" a Template. That
is: operating system, hardware configuration (cpu, ram, disk). Jclouds uses the
template builder to find an Image in the provider that matches the "template
spec" defined by the TemplateBuilder.
Which network should be used for the Nodes being deployed is not part of that
process, and the natural place for such options is the TemplateOptions object.
Properties there are used to "customize" the deployment once a Template has
already been chosen. These options may include network configuration, bootstrap
scripts, etc.
Most providers have their custom TemplateOptions object, and as [~abayer]
suggests, the NovaTemplateOptions seems a good candidate.
However, there are several providers that have the concept of "network", and
having a networkId option in the common TemplateOptions class could be a good
idea:
* It could be used when deploying in an AWS VPC.
* It could be used in the Abiquo provider when addressing:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-330
* CloudSigma already has private networks, and that would help configuring
which IPs are selected for the deployed Nodes.
* OpenStack clouds seem to fit there too.
Could it be worth adding the networkId property directly in the portable
TemplateOptions class?
