Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey v6.0.0

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® CloudMonkey® v6.0.

Popular Open Source Command Line Interface tool that simplifies Apache 
CloudStack configuration and management now faster and easier to use.

Wakefield, MA, March 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Apache Software 
Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of 
more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache® 
CloudStack® CloudMonkey v6.0, the latest version of the turnkey enterprise 
Cloud orchestration platform's command line interface tool.

Apache CloudStack is the proven, highly scalable, and easy-to-deploy IaaS 
platform used for rapidly creating private, public, and hybrid Cloud 
environments. Thousands of large-scale public Cloud providers and enterprise 
organizations use Apache CloudStack to enable billions of dollars worth of 
business transactions annually across their clouds.

Apache CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is the latest major release since the previous major 
5.x release in September 2013. CloudMonkey v6.0.0 is a rewrite of the original 
tool in Go programming language, and can be used both as an interactive shell 
and as a command line tool that simplifies CloudStack configuration and 
management.

Some of the new features and major changes include:

- Rewrite in Go, ships as single binary for Linux, Mac, and Windows
- Drop-in replacement for legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
- About 5-20x faster than legacy Python-based cloudmonkey
- Interactive UX for parameter and arg completion and selection
- JSON is the default output format
- New column based output
- Enable debug mode using set debug true option, file-based logging removed
- Per server profile based API cache
- New syntax arg=@/path/to/file to pass the content of file as API argument 
value similar to curl
- Improve help docs using -h argument
- Removed: XML output, coloured output, several set options

"This release is the work of over one year of effort and driven by the people 
operating CloudStack clouds," said Rohit Yadav, Apache CloudStack CloudMonkey 
v6.0 author, and release manager. "I would like to thank the contributors 
across all of these organizations for supporting this release, which reflects 
both the user-driven nature of our community and the Apache CloudStack 
project's commitment to continue to be the most stable, easily deployable, 
scalable Open Source platform for IaaS. Along with ease of installation, usage 
and availability of cross-platform dependency-free builds including Windows 
builds, v6.0 brings many changes and optimizations such as more interactive 
shell for parameter completion, faster API requests processing, server profile 
specific API caching, improved API help docs and a new syntax to pass content 
of files as API parameter argument."
More on the background and story behind the CloudMonkey 6.0 effort can be found 
at https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack/entry/what-s-coming-in-cloudmonkey

"Apache CloudStack is a significant part of our Cloud portfolio right now – we 
run large deployments all over the world, often supporting critical customer 
applications," said Robert van der Meulen, Product Strategy Lead at Leaseweb 
Global B.V. "CloudMonkey is an invaluable tool for interacting with 
CloudStack-based clouds, and it's the go-to tool that we recommend to our 
customers when they want to use command-line interaction with our CloudStack 
platforms."

"CloudMonkey is an effective tool for the operators of CloudStack environments 
and it becomes essential in large-scale CloudStack deployments," said Giles 
Sirett, CEO of ShapeBlue. "It's great to see this new version of CloudMonkey: 
having a CLI that can run on Windows desktops as well as Linux and Mac is 
important as we see more enterprise adoption of Apache CloudStack."

"CloudMonkey is now written in Golang, and with version v6.0 loading, speed has 
been drastically improved (accessing the CLI in under 0.5s)," said Pierre-Luc 
Dion, Cloud Architect at Cloud.ca. "This simplifies installation, deployments, 
updates, and operational efficiency."

"After many years of managing production Apache CloudStack deployments, I 
consider CloudMonkey a core tool in anyone's CloudStack toolkit, and now also 
being available for Windows makes me really happy," said Andrija Panic, Apache 
CloudStack Committer. "I can certainly see major speed improvements, but also 
having backward compatibility is what is so great with this new release."

Vegas, Nevada, and at numerous Meetups

I thought I saw openstack in the list but I must be mixing it up with something

CII best practices & cncf

[Marc-Aurèle Brothier]

Hi all,

I found recently the core infrastructure website and saw other projects listed 
there, but not Cloudstack. So I thought it would be a good thing to add this 
visibility. I’m in the process to fill up the form which you can find here:

https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/en/projects/2620

I hope you don’t mind I started it without asking first the community.

A next step I see would be to get listed on the cncf (cncf.io) to give even 
more visibility to the project.

Marco

Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Committer: Dennis Konrad

[Dennis Konrad]

Hi all,

thank you very much for the opportunity to do more for the project. I will try 
to do my best to give Cloudstack more exposure
to potential users out there.

My focus is to get more attention for the project by trying to push features 
that benefit the whole community.
I think it's highly desirable to have a working open source cloud-solution 
that's able to do a solid job for the common use-cases.

Let's try to consolidate knowledge and work so we can benefit together.

Much success and best regards
Dennis Konrad

Re: [DISCUSS] Move to jdk11 and use jlink

[Rohit Yadav]

Thanks Marc, we'll need to investigate and test of course, at this stage this 
is just an idea need discussion. We'll move to JDK11 (lts) sometime in future, 
however, I'm not proposing we rush that in the next major release.


Paul, by bundling the JRE in the packages and systemvm.iso - yes we'll need to 
release a CloudStack update (a) but that could be a good thing especially for 
distros which may not get the security update; (b) we won't need to publish a 
new systemvmtemplate as the JRE may be part of the systemvm.iso instead (i.e. 
don't install JRE in systemvmtemplate, but get it via systemvm.iso file; it may 
also make the template 50-200MB lighter in size).

It sounds like a good idea to get ahead of the curve..
We probably need a 'plan' which we can all get behind and ready the users for.  
especially if it is going to mean dropping some OS support.

one question, if we 'bundle java' and a Java vulnerability is found are we 
likely to have to release a CloudStack update, rather than advise users to 
upgrade their JRE?

Hi Rohit,

I think it’s a good move. After some recent testing I found some 
incompatibility between the jdk11 and older version of spring. I don’t have at 
hands the links but you have to upgrade to some specific version to make it 
work.
