Re: Fedora Cloud Docs

2015-03-24 Thread M. Edward (Ed) Borasky
My two cents:

1. Pandoc is your friend!!! Write rST, Markdown, AsciiDoc, Textile,
DocBook, LaTeX and a bunch of others and Pandoc translates to HTML,
epub, various other text markups and if you've got the LaTeX tool
chain, PDFs. It will only take me half a day or so to put up a
Dockerfile with these goodies - I'll fork fedora-dockerfiles on GitHub
and build this puppy, since I use it heavily.

2. Standardization is good - IMHO vital. So let's make a decision that
minimizes the amount of time we waste building tools for ourselves and
standardize on something we can live with. Personally, I think Sphinx
/ rST / readthedocs is the best option - I'm a tad biased because I
know some of the creators, but given Pandoc's Markdown - rST
conversion I don't see any reason to use another toolchain.

 I think it'd be good to have at least all *our* (Cloud) docs in one format. I 
 think it'd be a good idea to have that vote on markdown, rst, or otherwise.

 Of course, not being sure of that format yet doesn't mean you can't do some

 That would be one way.
 However, since it actually is a majority of the instance types[1] that
 support this feature, I'd vote to make it the default.
 That's unless it prevents using/booting the small instances of course,
 what AFAIK isn't the case --- I was able to create a snapshot ami from an F21
 instance,
 register it with the sriov flag and boot both a t2 and an r3 instances
 without any issue and confirmed the sriov flag was in effect on the r3
 instance.
 The only limit I know of is the ami has to be HVM[2].
 Moreover, the feature is for free, no extra charges apply so why not to take
 advantage of lower latencies on the instances.

 Would it be possible to register future Fedora amis with the enhanced

 As far as motivation is concerned, please check the blog post[2] for

 Since that only works for some types of instances it wouldn't make sense to
 do that for all images, but registering a separate image (from the same

I'm responsible for Fedimg which uploads our AMIs. Seems to be a reasonable 
thing to get people's opinions on. Do you *have* to start the instance up then 
stop it and do all the stuff at [1]? If that has to be done for every HVM 
upload we provide, that might add some significant time and oddness to the 
automatic upload process. I don't see a way to just simply toggle a flag at AMI 
registration time, but then again, I'm not familiar with enhanced networking on 
AWS.

Password policy changes

2015-03-24 Thread Adam Williamson
Hey, folks. I'm writing with my Server SIG member hat on, here. We've 
been discussing password policy changes at our meeting today.

So the Great Password Policy Bunfight of 2015 was resolved by anaconda 
creating a mechanism for products/spins to set their own password 
policy:

https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/8f24eeaedd7691b6ebe119592e5bc09c1c42e181

I'm slightly worried, however, about the possibility that everyone 
goes out and picks a more lenient policy more or less at random and we 
wind up with different policies on every Fedora medium. That seems 
like it'd be needlessly confusing to users and difficult to document.

I'm wondering if those products/spins intending to set a policy weaker 
than the default could all agree on the same one, so there'd only be 
at most two policies to care about (and if all products/spins overrode 
the upstream default, there'd only be one).

The obvious choice would be the pre-F22 policy, which I believe should 
be:

--nostrict --minlen=6 --minquality=50 --nochanges --emptyok

(though it's not *entirely* clear from the code - I think it used 
pwquality upstream defaults - so I may be a bit off).

What's the general feeling here? Have other SIGs discussed this yet? 
Come to any decisions? Thanks!

 Hey cloud team,

 I think we need some cloud docs.  Fedora has a lot to offer in the cloud
 area, and I'm sure that those engaged in the space are excited that
 Fedora has what they are looking for.  The uninitiated, on the other
 hand, are looking for what Fedora has, and we can do better to
 demonstrate that.

 We have a cloud guide,
 https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/cloud-guide.git/ .  It covers
 some basics, ie euca2ools, but never really made it out of draft state,
 and your work has left it far behind.  We don't have anyone on the Docs
 team fully engaged to track the cloud space, or anyone on the cloud team
 engaged to maintain that guide.  Also, it's written in docbook, and a
 lot of folks aren't into that.

 So, as I'm working on some tooling for a new Fedora Docs site, I'd like
 to know what would get *you* into writing about Fedora Cloud.  In the
 most direct sense, it's a question about markup and delivery, ie a
 collection of markdown or reStructuredText files in a git repo.  In a
 broad sense, anything along the lines of I would write docs for using
 Fedora Cloud, if... would be great.
 Personally it will be easier if we start using Sphinx along with
 reStructruedText. Most of the documents I write[1] or manage[2] are in
 Sphinx using rst. It required I can provide IRC classroom trainings and
 other training material to get anyone into Sphinx within few hours.

 We can have a Fedora focused theme for Sphinx projects.

The point here isn't to debate which markup language should we use, it's
to solicit volunteers to actually write the *content*.  I've volunteered
many times before (and will continue to do so) to convert whatever you
write in just about any format (text, asciidoc, rst, markdown, pencil and

 of course, vary for other cloud providers. your math is off, there
 should only be 9 Atomic as we only build it for x86_64 where we build
 the base for i386 and x86_64  so you have two arches by 2 image types
 by 9 regions
 
 Whatever the costs will be per AMI, I can tell you that what I've
 heard from people in the cloud WG is that we want a number of
 different AMIs *per build*. A new build currently results in 6 AMIs:
 2 for atomic (standard + gp2) and 4 for base (standard + gp2, both
 for HVM and paravirtual virtualization). I spoke with gholms some
 time back and I think we determined that we're also going to want
 instance-store AMIs, as well as *encrypted* EBS AMIs. So, maybe there

+1 for instance-store AMIs, they're incredibly useful. I think it's a
good time to think about what AMIs we should be producing though, and
talk to FESCO about just how much we're willing to spend on providing AMIs.

 should be some discussion on that with the full group, since that
 will result in a large number of AMIs. If we end up building that
 many different combinations of storage types, volume types, and
 virtualization types, we're talking a fair amount of AMIs being kept
 up during the release process, because of how many image builds go
 through Koji. Dennis mentioned to me that there is some sort of Koji
 bug that, if fixed, would builds be marked as either real life or
 scratch, so we could at least cut down a bit on the number of AMIs
 being built.
 
 I think this discussion should continue a bit more based on all that.
 However, I *do* move that I immediately delete at least all the
 alpha, beta, TC, and RC builds that were created back when we were
 working on F21.

+1 sounds like a good plan for now.

x86_64
  where we build the base for i386 and x86_64  so you have two arches by 2 image
  types by 9 regions

Whatever the costs will be per AMI, I can tell you that what I've heard from 
people in the cloud WG is that we want a number of different AMIs *per build*. 
A new build currently results in 6 AMIs: 2 for atomic (standard + gp2) and 4 
for base (standard + gp2, both for HVM and paravirtual virtualization). I spoke 
with gholms some time back and I think we determined that we're also going to 
want instance-store AMIs, as well as *encrypted* EBS AMIs. So, maybe there 
should be some discussion on that with the full group, since that will result 
in a large number of AMIs. If we end up building that many different 
combinations of storage types, volume types, and virtualization types, we're 
talking a fair amount of AMIs being kept up during the release process, because 
of how many image builds go through Koji. Dennis mentioned to me that there is 
some sort of Koji bug that, if fixed, would builds be marked as either real 
life or scratch, so we could at least cut down a bit on the number of AMIs 
being built.

I think this discussion should continue a bit more based on all that. However, 
I *do* move that I immediately delete at least all the alpha, beta, TC, and RC 
builds that were created back when we were working on F21.

 I agree...ish. If Kushal, myself, mattdm, and jbrooks (for example) are
 collaborating on a document, we really need a single format to target.

I think it'd be good to have at least all *our* (Cloud) docs in one format. I 
think it'd be a good idea to have that vote on markdown, rst, or otherwise.

Of course, not being sure of that format yet doesn't mean you can't do some 
writing now.

My two cents.

 I'm wondering if those products/spins intending to set a policy weaker

 at most two policies to care about (and if all products/spins overrode

I won't speak for everyone, but I *think* the general cloud attitude
here is to use private/public keys and certificate-based auth instead of
passwords in any case.
