[ANNOUNCE] Apache CloudStack CVE-2024-41107: SAML Signature Exclusion

[Abhishek Kumar]

Apache CloudStack project announces the release of LTS releases 4.19.1.0
and 4.18.2.2 that addresses CVE-2024-41107 that affects CloudStack SAML
users, of severity 'important' explained below.

# CVE-2024-41107: SAML Signature Exclusion

The CloudStack SAML authentication (disabled by default) does not enforce
signature check. In CloudStack environments where SAML authentication is
enabled, an attacker that initiates CloudStack SAML single sign-on
authentication can bypass SAML authentication by submitting a spoofed SAML
response with no signature and known or guessed username and other user
details of a SAML-enabled CloudStack user-account. In such environments,
this can result in a complete compromise of the resources owned and/or
accessible by a SAML enabled user-account.

# Credits

The original issue was reported by Christian Gross of Netcloud AG who filed
it as a bug report at https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4519.

More recently it was reported as a security issue by the following
reporters from the Apple Services Engineering Security team:

- Damon Smith
- Adam Pond
- Terry Thibault

# Affected Versions

- Apache CloudStack 4.5.0 through 4.18.2.1
- Apache CloudStack 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.0.2

# Resolution

Affected users are recommended to disable the SAML authentication plugin
by setting the "saml2.enabled" global setting to "false", or upgrade to
version 4.18.2.2, 4.19.1.0 or later, which addresses this issue.

# Downloads and Documentation

The official source code for the 4.18.2.2 and 4.19.1.0 releases can be
downloaded from the project downloads page:
https://cloudstack.apache.org/downloads

The 4.18.2.2 and 4.19.1.0 release notes can be found at:
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.2.2/releasenotes/about.html

In addition to the official source code release, individual contributors
have also made release packages available on the Apache CloudStack
download page, and available at:

[ANNOUNCE] Apache CloudStack LTS Security Releases 4.18.2.1 and 4.19.0.2

[Abhishek Kumar]

Apache CloudStack project announces the release of LTS security releases
4.18.2.1 and 4.19.0.2 that addresses CVE-2024-38346 and CVE-2024-39864,
both of severity rating 'important', explained below.

# CVE-2024-38346: Unauthenticated cluster service port leads to remote execution

The CloudStack cluster service runs on unauthenticated port (default 9090) that
can be misused to run arbitrary commands on targeted hypervisors and CloudStack
management server hosts. Some of these commands were found to have command
injection vulnerabilities that can result in arbitrary code execution via agents
on the hosts that may run as a privileged user. An attacker that can reach the
cluster service on the unauthenticated port (default 9090), can exploit this to
perform remote code execution on CloudStack managed hosts and result in complete
compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of CloudStack
managed infrastructure.

# CVE-2024-39864: Integration API service uses dynamic port when disabled

The CloudStack integration API service allows running its unauthenticated API
server (usually on port 8096 when configured and enabled via
integration.api.port global setting) for internal portal integrations and for
testing purposes. By default, the integration API service port is disabled and
is considered disabled when integration.api.port is set to 0 or negative. Due to
an improper initialisation logic, the integration API service would listen on a
random port when its port value is set to 0 (default value). An attacker that
can access the CloudStack management network could scan and find the randomised
integration API service port and exploit it to perform unauthorised
administrative actions and perform remote code execution on CloudStack managed
hosts and result in complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of CloudStack managed infrastructure.

# Credits

Both the CVEs are credited to the following reporters from the Apple Services
Engineering Security team:

- Adam Pond (finder)
- Terry Thibault (finder)
- Damon Smith (finder)

# Affected Versions

- Apache CloudStack 4.0.0 through 4.18.2.0
- Apache CloudStack 4.19.0.0 through 4.19.0.1

# Resolution

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.18.2.1, 4.19.0.2 or later, which
addresses these issues.

Additionally, users are recommended the following actions:

- Restrict the network access to the cluster service
port (default 9090) on a CloudStack management server host to only its peer
CloudStack management server hosts.
- Restrict the network access on the CloudStack management server hosts
to only essential ports.

[VOTE] Apache CloudStack 4.19.0.0 RC1

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi All,

I've created a 4.19.0.0 release (RC1), with the following artifacts up for
a vote:

Git Branch and Commit SH:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/4.19.0.0-RC20231222T1711
Commit: 92c0fc8fc25c916a7f3c7875d924b2d14d437501

Source release (checksums and signatures are available at the same
location):
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/cloudstack/4.19.0.0/

PGP release keys (signed using 65518106473A09D7AF26B384A70BD2EAA74E2866):
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/cloudstack/KEYS

For testing purposes, I have uploaded the different distro packages to:
http://download.cloudstack.org/testing/4.19.0.0-RC1/

Since 4.16 the system VM template registration is no longer mandatory
before upgrading, however, it can be downloaded from here if needed:
https://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.19/

Vote will be open for 120 hours.

For sanity in tallying the vote, can PMC members please be sure to indicate
"(binding)" with their vote?

[ ] +1  approve
[ ] +0  no opinion
[ ] -1  disapprove (and reason why)

Happy Christmas everyone!

@Devs - sorry the previous email wasn't copied to the user mailing list
correctly.

Regards,
Abhishek

Re: [PROPOSE] ACS 4.19.0.0 release

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

I would like to announce the code freeze now.
From now onwards, we will only accept critical/blocker issues or any 
stabilization fixes. We have over 100 open items in the 4.19.0.0 milestone [1] 
at the moment. Most of them will be moved to the next milestone.
Currently, as reported yesterday there is one blocker issue [2]. We are working 
on a fix for the same. We may also need some stabilization concerning the 
integration test.
I expect support from all of you to work towards cutting RC1 in the coming week.

Regards,
Abhishek

Hi all,

Due to some privately sent requests to postpone the code freeze, I propose 
postponing the code freeze date by a day.
Also, we already have a possible blocker [1] reported on the main branch so 
looking into getting that fixed.

I'll send an email tomorrow to announce the code freeze and will move the 
remaining open items to the next milestone.
We will still work towards cutting RC1 in the coming week.

Hi all,

To update you on the status of the 4.19.0.0 milestone [1], currently, we have 
nearly 127 open items in the milestone.
Many of them have not seen any update or progress lately so we will have to 
move them out of the milestone. Also, quite a few are now just waiting for 
integration test results or in the final phase.
Based on this, I would like to propose,

  *
Code freeze on the main branch starting 13 Dec 2023, accepting only 
critical/blocker issues (if any)
  *   Cut RC1 in the week of 18-24 Dec 2023

Please let me know your thoughts.

Also, if you have a PR/issue marked for the 4.19.0.0/4.18.2 milestone please 
keep an eye on any updates on it.
Some of us have also got our feature/improvements already merged but 
documentation for the same is still pending so kindly make sure to progress on 
that.

Abhishek

Hi all,

Thanks a lot Daan for cleaning up the 4.19.0.0 milestone [1].
Now we have around 123 open items in the milestone. We still have some 
interesting features and enhancements in progress.
In addition to this, we are seeing some recurring test failures on the PRs 
including health-check which would need some work.
Also, rest of this week a lot of us will be busy with CloudStack Collab 2023.
Considering these I propose moving the timeline to the following,

  *   Announce code freeze in early December 2023
  *   Cut RC1 thereafter in the first half of December 2023

Thank you for your understanding and support. Looking forward to meeting 
community folks in person in the next few days.

Re: [PROPOSE] ACS 4.19.0.0 release

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

Update on the current state of the 4.19.0.0 milestone. Currently, there are 
still 179 open items in the 4.19.0.0 milestone [1]. We still have many exciting 
new features which need some work in the form code-changes or review and 
testing.
Also, there are some issues and PRs in 4.18.2.0 milestone [2] which are marked 
major in severity.
Based on this I would like to propose moving the earlier suggested timeline 
further and the revised timeline can be,

- Announce code freeze around mid of the next month, November 2023
- RC1 can be expected thereafter in the second half of November 2023

If you have got an active PR with a new feature or fix that you would like to 
see in 4.19.0.0 release please comment with your interest on the Github item.

Regards,
Abhishek

Re: [PROPOSE] ACS 4.19.0.0 release

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

Update on the current state of the 4.19.0.0 milestone. Currently, there are 203 
open items in the 4.19.0.0 milestone with 72 open PRs and 131 open issues.
Considering the earlier suggested timeline, from next week, we will have to 
triage the open items more diligently to move the inactive items out of the 
milestone.
The release timeline remains the same:

  *   Code freeze, and stabilization to accept only critical/blocker issues in 
the second half of October 2023. We should be in a better position to have a 
specific date in a week or so.
  *   Cut 4.19.0.0 RC1 towards the end of October 2023.

Looking forward to your support.

Regards,
Abhishek

Subject: [DISCUSS] New Design for the Apache CloudStack Website

Hello,

I would like to start a discussion on the design of the Apache CloudStack 
Website and to propose a new design for it.

As we all know, the website has not been changed for years in terms of design 
and information. The biggest issue we know we have is that the website is not 
showing the full potential of CloudStack. In addition to it during discussions 
with many community members, I have noted the following issues:
- the existing website design is old-school
- the current homepage does not collect enough information to show CloudStack's 
strengths
- current website design is missing images from the ACS UI and cannot create a 
feel for the product in the users
- the website has issues on a mobile device
- we lack any graphic and diagrams
- some important information like how to download is not very visible

I collected a lot of feedback during last months and want to propose a new up 
to date design for the website, which is attached below. The new design will 
bring:
- improved UX
- look and feel corresponding to the CloudStack's capabilities and strengths
- more graphical elements, diagrams
- better branding
- more important information, easily accessible for the potential users

I hope you will like the new design – all feedback welcome. Once we have the 
design finalised, we will use Rohit’s proposal previously of a CMS, which is 
easy to edit.

Re: [VOTE] CloudStack Project Blog Migration

[Abhishek Kumar]

+1 Looks good!

From: Rohit Yadav

Subject: [VOTE] CloudStack Project Blog Migration

All,

The ASF-infra had announced a hard deadline [0][1] to decommission our
project’s Roller based blog [3] on the 31st May 2023.

For the blog migration, ASF-infra has exported CloudStack blog posts
from the current Roller’s database-backed infra to markdown files.
These were put together in cloudstack-www repository’s
docusauras-staging branch [2] with Docusauras used as a
static-site-generator and a GitHub Actions workflow to automate
publishing a staging site for your testing and review [4].

The staging site that migrates both the website and blog isn’t
completely ready to meet the hard deadline, so this vote is proposed
for only migrating the blog before the deadline and continue efforts
to migrate to a new website [2][4] when we're ready in the near
future.

The following is put for voting:

1. By the end of 31st May ’23, ASF-infra will decommission the project
blog at https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack and for now we proceed
with only the blog migration before this deadline.

2. The old blog URL/pages from
https://blogs.apache.org/cloudstack/ will be
redirected to https://cloudstack.apache.org/blog/.
This will be done by the ASF-infra.

3. The blog content is copied to the "content/blog" directory of the
asf-site branch in the https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-www
repository [6], published at https://cloudstack.apache.org/blog/.

The vote will be open until we reach a lazy consensus.

For sanity in tallying the vote, can PMC members please be sure to
indicate "(binding)" with their vote?

[ ] +1  approve
[ ] +0  no opinion
[ ] -1  disapprove (and the reason why)

Re: [PROPOSE] RM for 4.19.0

[Abhishek Kumar]

Daan, Rohit and others,

Personally, I don't see log4j2 PR alone or one particular feature/PR that
can be the reason for managing the release. Though I certainly understand
it may create some additional work for the RM.
Since Daniel also has an interest in being the RM for the 4.19 release, is
happy to do that additional work and RM work is not the most exciting work
for me :-P, I'm happy to support Daniel for the role. I, like others, can
help him where I can.

Abhishek

Re: ACS upgrade to Log4J2 version 2.19

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Daniel,

It was just my opinion it is based on the reasons that it is something that
we haven't seen any request in the community before and it will create some
challenges for the releases, forward-merging bug-fixes and also for any
existing integrations that users might be having.
To be specific, I'm neutral (0) on this.
Great that you want to take up the RM work to address part of those
challenges. You have my support.
The only thing that I would hope for is to get this tested/merged early to
avoid issues at the later stages nearer to the release.

Regards,
Abhishek

Re: ACS upgrade to Log4J2 version 2.19

[Abhishek Kumar]

Great work.
Though I feel this is a 5.0 change. I agree with Wei that this would create
too much overhead for upcoming releases. 4.18 was pushed ahead a few months
and we may end up on a similar path.
Also, reload4j is still actively maintained so I don't think this is urgent.

Abhishek

[PROPOSE] RM for 4.19.0

[Abhishek Kumar]

Dear All,

I would like to propose and put myself forward as the release manager for 
4.19.0 release. In the past, I've RM'd 4.17.1.0 release and co-RM'd a couple of 
releases before that. I would like to take experiences from those to work on a 
successful release.

I propose we start early, sometime in Q3 2023, with the planning, triaging, 
bug-fixing, etc to get back on the traditional two-release per year cycle. With 
this we can aim to cut the RC sometime in October. I will propose a detailed 
timeline soon.

I hope to have your support. Please let me know if you have any 
thoughts/comments.

Regards,
Abhishek

Re: [RESULT][VOTE] Apache CloudStack 4.17.1.0

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

Unfortunately, there is a blocker issue found for the release which will create 
problems in upgrading from the 4.17.0.1 release to 4.17.1.0, 
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/6759.

Considering this, I'm recalling the release vote/result. A new RC will be cut 
soon and a vote thread will be started.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Abhishek

Re: Permission Denied when trying to add nictovirtualmachine as Domain Admin

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Matthew,

In your case does the user to which VM belongs have the access to the network 
you are trying to add to the VM?
I tried it in a test env and it works fine when the user has access to the 
network (eg, the user owns the network). But it would fail when the user 
doesn't have the access to the network.

Below is an example. First I tried to add a user owned network using domain 
admin. It worked. Then I tried adding a domain-admin owned network to the VM. 
It failed. But smae operation worked when I added proper network permissions.

4.17.1.0 release

[Abhishek Kumar]

All,

We've 5 items remaining on the 4.17.1.0 milestone now: 
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/milestone/25

Considering these and the previously proposed rough timeline, I would like to 
propose 4.17 branch soft freeze from tomorrow 31 Aug 2022, after which only 
blocker and critical fixes will be allowed with the RC1 cut during next week 
depending on the branch stability.

Thoughts, objections?

Regards,
Abhishek

You may try using APIs directly with cloudmonkey for now or you can also try 
the latest nightly build.
You may also try rebuilding UI by referring Advanced customisation from 
https://www.shapeblue.com/customising-the-cloudstack-ui/

Subject: 4.17.0.1 bug in GUI?

Hey everyone,

 I noticed something in the GUI, probably a bug. Here is how to reproduce.

Environment Cloudstack 4.17 installed on Debian 11.
1. Install cloudstack
2. Open the gui and login
3. Go to zones and select new zone
4. Select Zone type and go next
5. fill in zone details and go to the next
6. When you are at  Network configuration add a second interface and click
next.

At this point the GUI will freeze. Happens every time.It does not matter if
i put a label on it or not. the whole interface becomes like a picture.

On the other hand if no changes are done and "Next" is selected the wizard
lets you go on.

Once the GUI freezes the only solution I could find is to refresh the GUI
which gets me out of the zone creation tutorial.

Here is a image where the GUI freezes -> https://imgur.com/a/1wWU9j5

Is this a bug?

Best regards,
Jordan

 

[PROPOSE] CloudStack 4.17.1.0 release and RM

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

I would like to propose and put myself forward as the release manager for the 
4.17.1.0 release. My colleague Nicolas Vazquez will support me as the co-RM for 
the PR reviews/tests/merges, and others are welcome to support as well.
We can keep the scope limited to include only bugs, critical issues and fixes 
for a stable release. I see about 89 closed issues/PRs already on the 4.17.1.0 
milestone[1] and some 24 items are remaining.

I propose the following timeline, aiming to cut the first RC around the end of 
August.
 - ~3 weeks from now till late August 2022 (Ongoing): Accept all bugs, 
issues and minor improvements allowed in LTS [2]
 - 1 week: Accept only critical/blocker fixes, stabilize 4.17 branch
 - end-August 2022 and onwards: Cut 4.17.1.0 RC1 and further RCs if 
necessary, start/conclude vote, and finish release work

Please let me know if you have any thoughts/comments.

Re: Migration fail - Unable to find the target datastore

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Cristian,

Are you able to deploy a new VM on this particular storage pool - UUID: 
da097676-7fa7-4b9c-b962-a2fe467fe565?

Also, in your vCenter can you please check if target host (to which VM is being 
migrated) does have a datastore attached with name - 
da0976767fa74b9cb962a2fe467fe565.
Essentially, here CloudStack VMware plugin is failing to find the corresponding 
datastore for the storage pool that you selected for migration.

Abhishek

Re: [DISCUSS] VMware network rate for network and VMs

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Vivek,

Thank you for your response.
I understand the scenarios you have explained but the issue I face right now is 
that portgroup for user VMs is not updated when network offering (with network 
rate difference) for that network is changed from ACS.
I tried to show that here, https://youtu.be/Kdaad9c1Fq4

I've also gone through the code and on network offering change, currently ACS 
just stops and destroys the running VR, creates a new portgroup (for new 
network rate) and starts new VR on that portgroup. And user VMs continue 
running on the existing portgroup.

Similarly, for different NICs of the VM, it can have different network rate 
depending on default and non-default NIC.
eg:
VM, v1 is created with a compute offering having network rate, 350Mbps
It has three networks:
n1 with network offering having network rate 400Mbps (default NIC)
n2 with network offering having network rate 500Mbps
n3 with network offering having no rate specified, defaulted to 
"network.throttling.rate" 200Mbps. "vm.network.throttling.rate" is set to 
375Mbps

Now, three nics of the VM will have portgroups with following network rates:
NIC1 (default) - 350Mbps (taken from compute offering)
NIC2 - 500Mbps (taken from n/w offering)
NIC3 - 200Mbps(taken from n/w offering)

Therefore, my point is both network rate from compute offering and value of 
vm.network.throttling.rate doesn't affect all the NICs of the VM and are 
honored just by the default NIC.

Regards,
Abhishek

Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] VMware network rate for network and VMs

Hello Abhishek,

Everything is useful and it completely depends on your requirements..!

  *   Is having VM-level (using compute offering and global setting for
VMs) useful? Having a higher network rate for VMs and a lower network rate
for VRs(network) will make it useless.

Ans - Yes definitely it's useful, so consider a scenerio where you want to
provide a higher speed of data transfer between VMs in same network  (
Guest traffic ) but lower speed for public traffic or may be on the
different network.


  *   Should there be a single portgroup in vCenter based on the network
rate of VRs/network especially in the case when the network rate for VRs is
lower?

Ans -  ACS create separate port group for each config, single port groups
can't controller multiple QoS. So let's suppose if you create a VM with 500
Mbps network rate, ACS will create a port group and will put 500Mbps in
network rate, so if you create other VMs under the same network and same
compute offering it will out under the same, but the moment you change your
network offering i.e 200 Mbps then it will create a separate port group
with 200 Mbps network rate and will attach same to the VM.


  *   Even while using different network rates, should there be consistency
across different NICs of user VMs? Currently, compute offering and global
setting only affects the default NIC of the user VMs.

Ans- As I said, it create separate port group as per the network rate and
VLAN.

Vivek Kumar

[DISCUSS] VMware network rate for network and VMs

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

I've been working on fixing/refactoring VMware portgroup reconfigure on network 
offering change, https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/5181
While working on it I found different portgroups on the same VLAN can be used 
based on the different network rates used in the network offering of the 
network and compute offering of the user VMs. Below are my findings:

  *   Network offerings will control network rate only for VR(s) and 
non-default NICs of the user VMs.
  *   Default network rate for VRs and non-default NICs of the user VMs can be 
controlled by global setting, "network.throttling.rate".

  *   For the default NIC of user VMs, the network rate is controlled by the 
compute offerings of the VM.

  *   For the default NIC of user VMs, the default network rate can be 
controlled using the global setting,"vm.network.throttling.rate".

So now my queries are:

  *   Is having VM-level (using compute offering and global setting for VMs) 
useful? Having a higher network rate for VMs and a lower network rate for 
VRs(network) will make it useless.
  *   Should there be a single portgroup in vCenter based on the network rate 
of VRs/network especially in the case when the network rate for VRs is lower?
  *   Even while using different network rates, should there be consistency 
across different NICs of user VMs? Currently, compute offering and global 
setting only affects the default NIC of the user VMs.

Please share your thoughts and ideas. It will be interesting to know how others 
configure network throttling for networks and VMs.

Abhishek


 

Re: Map Primary storage to host.

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Halloesnith,

Other than using host and storage tags, the other possible way could be using 
two different clusters for your two hosts and the primary store. Put both hosts 
and their corresponding storage in separate clusters.

Subject: Map Primary storage to host.

I am using cloudstack 4.15.1 and 2 KVM hosts. I am on a testing phase and I 
have created two primary storage(p1, p2). All I want to know that is it 
possible to map a primary storage to one hosts via tags or others. If user 
creates a VM in host 1 them his primary storage is allocated from p1 and if a 
user creates a VM in host2 then his primary storage is allocated from p2. I 
have found that service offering's host and storage tags is useful but I want 
to directly map all the vm's when created to their respective primary storage. 
Just testing for knowledge purpose.

Thanks in advance.

Re: VMware Instance Error

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Mike,

1 - The CPU/RAM  and network on the VMware side should match the selected 
config from ACS end. Make sure you are checking the same ACS and vCenter VM. 
You may match the internal name.
2 - Mentioned logs are DEBUG logs. Wrt deployment behaviour, ACS first tries to 
allocate from reserved capacity and if that is not possible then from free 
capacity. So these logs are certainly not the reason for your deployment 
failure.
3 - Yes, for VMware, in 4.15.0, settings are populated from OVF. 
rootDiskController, dataDiskController and nicAdapter if found are shown in the 
settings tab in UI. Other details are returned as deployasisdetails parameter 
in the listTemplates API response.
4 - Again make sure it is the same VM in ACS and VMware. You may check for 
exact error in the management server logs for deployment or VM start failure.
5 - "com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: Invalid root disk 
controller detected : none" error is returned by ACS's VMware plugin. Please 
check the rootDiskController value in StartCommand of the VM in management 
logs. Valid values are here - 
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/4.15.0.0/vmware-base/src/main/java/com/cloud/hypervisor/vmware/mo/DiskControllerType.java#L20-L26

Log messages such as "Unable to find matched VM in CloudStack DB. name: 
ffe8ca8a-4c58-4c47-b93d-c524f90453cf" are due to the fact that vmware sdk used 
returns templates registered in the vCenter as VM in the API response. Since 
these cannot be found in the vm_instance table of ACS it logs them with this 
message in DEBUG.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Abhishek

Subject: RE: VMware Instance Error

I'll update this email distro in parallel to my ShapeBlue GURU ticket...

I continue to have trouble deploying VMs from template.  A few more 
observations to hopefully bring light to the problem.

1 - The VM instance in vCenter shows as having the same CPU/RAM as the template 
- NOT what the service offering selected.  Shouldn't the VM instance be built 
with the specs of the service offering?  It also is not being provisioned a NIC 
(template does not include nic).

2 - I have entries regarding host capacity not being enough, even though these 
are BEEFY @ 96cores and 750GB RAM...

3 - I've been told that template settings (VMware specifically) should be 
populated by ACS during the upload of a template.  This is not the case for me 
- either Win10 or CentOS templates.  Could someone answer what is the expected 
behavior during the install of a template?

4 - Even though ACS says the VM instance is in ERROR status - the VM in vCenter 
powers on and starts into Windows.

5- Invalid root disk error: even though global setting is set to scsi.  NO 
settings are on the template though because they aren't being populated during 
template installation (item 3)

What version of VMware are you using?
Also, since guest OS hypervisor mapping is not found for 'otherLinux64Guest', 
you may check available mappings on your env in DB with:

select * from cloud.guest_os_hypervisor where

OK, I see.
I tried to register a new CoreOS ova template from URL, but when I choose 
Hypervisor "VMware",  the "OS Type" disappear and replaced with "Keyboard Type" 
 so I cannot choose OS Type=CoreOS...
Is this normal?
The template register result is "Ready=False" and Status: Did not find a guest

Hi David,

On CS 4.15, you will still have to register the CoreOS template to setup 
Kubernetes Clusters and register it with the same name as the global setting 
'cloud.kubernetes.cluster.template.name.'.
The ShapeBlue blog that you are probably referring to is something that will be 
made available in the next LTS release.

Hi 😊

I have now upgraded from CS 4.13 to CS 4.15 and I have tried to configure 
Kubernetes service from the latest Cloudstack documentation page (CloudStack 
Kubernetes Service — Apache CloudStack 4.15.0.0 
documentation)
  with no success…

As I have read from this forum and shapeblue’s pages, the CoreOS template setup 
is not needed anymore. But do I need to configure anything else from the 
GUI/cmd regarding this?

My 4.15 system vm uploaded before upgrading to 4.15 is not marked as “public”… 
is this a problem? Should I delete it and create a new systemvm for 4.15?

I have added Kubernetes versions 1.16.0 and 1.16.3 and they are marked as 
“ready”.
The global parameter in Cloudstack for Kubernetes is enabled.

When I try to create Kubernetes cluster with a test user, I get this error:
Request Failed (530) Kubernetes service has not been configured properly to 
provision Kubernetes clusters

Re: About NIC types available in CloudStack

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi,

As you are referring "Importing Virtual Machines" you must be looking for 
supported NIC types in ACS for VMware.
I checked the code and found these - E1000, PCNet32, Vmxnet2, Vmxnet3
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/4.14.0.0/vmware-base/src/main/java/com/cloud/hypervisor/vmware/mo/VirtualEthernetCardType.java

Hi

I would like you to share your knowledge about the NIC types of VM available in 
CloudStack 4.14.
The following NIC types are present in the VMs present in my environment.

===
E1000
E1000E
FLEXIBLE
VMXNET
VMXNET2(Enhanced VMXNET)
VMXNET3
===

I have registered the VMs with these NICs to CloudStack by running "Importing 
Virtual Machines".
However, I don't know if these VMs will work properly with CloudStack 4.14.
If anyone knows what type of NICs will work properly with CloudStack 4.14, or 
if anyone has verified this, please let me know.

My small additions.

I would go with an LTS version.

For me it would be CentOS 8 minimal. I agree with Paul sometimes the upstream 
repo are gone or in archive state and its not for production use. Maybe we can 
put one of them to „our“ Cloudstack repo. If we use Ubuntu or CentOS is not so 
important both are LTS versions.

Maybe we should find a regular way after some time to switch to a newer one. So 
there is no productive use and normally everybody should know that he don’t use 
this in a production environment. We can’t address all security issues from the 
os. Maybe we should hint the users and at the end of the day its their own risk 
if they use this.

Cheers

Sven

Terraform CoudStack provider by Hashicorp is archived here

Is anyone using or maintaining it? We're aware of Ansible CloudStack module

but are there any other alternatives of Terraform that you may be using with

Hi Yordan,

It seems CloudStack was not able to find any UP ESXi host for your vCenter 
cluster.
As the wizard is finished you may check if any hosts are being added for the 
cluster and if they are in UP state. You can retry adding the primary store 
from Primary Storage section in UI if there are any hosts showing state as UP.

Re: Ubuntu 20 Support

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Hean,

For packages supporting Ubuntu 20 you will have to wait for 4.15.
Ubuntu 20 support has been added recently,

Hi

I am having a new deployment of Cloudstack, thinking of using Ubuntu 20 due
to a longer support and coming of newer version of Cloudstack and easier to
upgrade. , But currently  apt only have support till Ubuntu 18.

Is it if want to use Ubuntu20,   the only way to self compile it ?

Re: AssignVirtualMachine

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Mathew,

While trying to assign your VM from ADMIN to USER account, are you making this 
API call as the user?
This error must be due to the reason that the caller of the API doesn't have 
permission to operate on the given resource (VM belongs to the admin account 
and the user cannot operate on it). You can try calling the same API as the 
root admin and it should work.

I'm not aware of any resource on API permissions system myself but general 
rules are check for API access for a particular user role, domain admin and 
user account cannot operate on resources owned by users of other domains or 
parent/root domain.

Regards,
Abhishek

I have not had to do this in quite some time but I can no longer assign
a VM from my root account to a user account. I get the following error:

Failed to move vm Acct[UUID-USERNAME] does not have permission to
operate with resource Acct[UUID-admin]

I know that a bunch of permission stuff has been added over the last few
releases but I have no idea which one I need to set to get this working.
I'm running 4.13.0 in case it matters. Any ideas and/or any good
resources outlining the API permissions system? I was able to find the
permissions in the UI but it looks like it is allow/deny on a per API
call basis. I added assignvirtualmachine there but it is still failing.

Thanks,

Re: [DISCUSS] Management server default port conflict

[Abhishek Kumar]

+1 with adding documentation.

And maybe we should also refactor the port check logic and error message. 
Currently, code just tries to connect the socket for the port and if it fails 
that with the message,
Detected that another management node with the same IP XX.XX.XX.XX is already 
running, please check your cluster configuration
Instead of the cockpit, it can be any other service/process. Should we try to 
get details of that service in the logs, exception message so the user can make 
changes?

Abhishek

I think we can document in our CloudStack qig/release/install notes to say 
users must disable cockpit on CentOS8. Here are my 2paisas;

  *   Most users using CentOS (7/8) won't use a single-host specific management 
tool/UI such as cockpit; they would probably use some fleet management software 
or automate using ansible/puppet/ceph etc.
  *   Last time I checked the minimal CentOS-8 ISO does not install cockpit or 
that it is enabled by default (service does not run by default until you active 
the port 9090 target)
  *   Some users may have monitoring scripts/tools or security rules that 
expect port 9090 to be used by CloudStack, so it's probably safer to ask users 
to change port for cockpit than CloudStack by default

Regards.

[DISCUSS] New default template

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi all,

I would like to hear everyone's opinion on a new default template in CloudStack.
Currently, we are using CentOS 5.x for different hypervisors but it is quite 
old(already completed its support life) and either the support for it has been 
removed (https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/wiki/Guest-System-Support) or in legacy 
(https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=software&details=1&partner=272&releases=448&page=1&display_interval=10&sortColumn=Partner&sortOrder=Asc&testConfig=16)
 in different hypervisors.
Therefore, I think it is time now to move to a newer OS template. In my 
understanding CentOS7 is the minimum viable choice if we are continuing with 
CentOS. This can be the preferred choice as we already have tested templates 
for it on different hypervisors and it has 4 years left in its cycle.

We can also explore Ubuntu’s cloud-images of 20.04. And if we want to go with 
something very light-weight we can think about something like Alpine Linux.

Please have your say. Also, do you think this can be included in 4.15 itself so 
we can have a proper default template for something like XCP-ng 8.x which 
doesn't support CentOS 5 (and PV VMs)?

Regards,
Abhishek

Re: Destroying Cluster container error Cloudstack 4.11.3

[Abhishek Kumar]

Hi Olivier,

For the cluster stuck in 'Destroying' state, with current code of CCS I don't 
think it will get removed without some manual database manipulation.
You will need to manually update the record for cluster in the database. Since 
you have already deleted the node instances, network and VR, you can try 
setting gc column value for the cluster in sb_ccs_container_cluster table as 1.
Then CCS garbage collector should eventually delete the cluster.

Abhishek

I followed the documentation well.
I have an error when creating the container cluster.
The nodes are created well, the router too, the cluster does not start!
I deleted the master and node instances, the router but the container cluster 
remains on 'Destroying' for several days!
Do you know how to force the destruction of the container cluster?
