Re: Cloudstack with PCI compliance
CloudStack itself can never be PCI *compliant*... only a company can be. CloudStack can certainly be part of the technical architecture for an IT environment (or service provider environment) that is being audited for overall organizational compliance. A service provider that offers a CloudStack-based cloud is also, similarly, unable to really offer compliance for their customers. They are only able to fulfill certain aspects of the required set of controls, and support their customers during the PCI audit process *of their customers*. There really isn't a silver bullet here... you have to have your own answers for how the required controls are implemented (and for many, there is an infinite number of possible implementation designs). As for the docs for a cloud environment, check out: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/PCI_DSS_v2_Cloud_Guidelines.pdf Keep in mind that it will absolutely depend on how things are being audited. Is the CloudStack Cloud external to the org trying for compliance? If so, the doc above would be the right choice for where to start. Is the CloudStack environment controlled by the org attempting compliance? If so, it's likely a combination of the Cloud Guidelines and the Virtualization supplemental info. Your best bet is to work with someone that knows the PCI process, and gets how the controls are typically evaluated by the various auditors. I've been through this before, and I can tell you that even the auditors are different in their understanding of the guidelines. -chip On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 08:49:30AM -0400, Tim Mackey wrote: The real problem is in defining what is in-scope and out-of-scope, and avoiding mixed-mode. This document ( https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/Virtualization_InfoSupp_v2.pdf) provides a pretty good read of the suggested rules of the road for virtualization, but I'm not aware of a similar doc covering cloud. Things like network typologies can mess stuff up quite quickly, and its probably best to involve the customer's PCI QSA in the design. A couple months back I was asked to comment on a pure XenServer environment for mixed-mode operations and the customer accepted solution required both VLANs and OVS policy definition to secure cardholder data and meet the QSA goals.

Thanks, Ian A few months back I was playing around with CloudByte's ElastiStor which is a FreeBSD ZFS based storage solution. The interesting thing is that their management interface is built with the Apache CloudStack management framework. At the time, the interface was almost identical to stock CloudStack. in fact, it was so identical that one might even assume that it is really cloudstack thats controlling their storage layer. In short, they have the UI running with their propriety storage adapters on FreeBSD 8.x IIRC. Their evaluation builds are available from http://www.elastistor.info/builds/. http://www.cloudbyte.com Very interesting information... As a side note, having Apache CloudStack manager work on FreeBSD would clear a path for creating and distributing production ready cloudstack appliances.

Re: Visualizing the Planners
A little more improvement: http://www.chipchilders.com/blog/2013/7/25/simulator-scenario-generator-001-for-apache-cloudstack.html Added the ability to simulate different compute offerings / accounts (and used a weighted randomization to generate the scenario), capacity augmentation triggers and zone-level data collection.

I understand that Wido has informally committed to building the Xenserver/RBD glue when it is supported on XenServer (think this was in a video I saw on youtube). With this in mind, I’m wondering if this is something that could still be added to 4.2 based on the info in http://xenserver.org/blog/entry/tech-preview-of-xenserver-libvirt-ceph.html. I realise that it’s not ready yet on the XenServer side but is this something that might make it to 4.2 in advance of the XenServer development as opposed to waiting for 4.3? Can the Cloudstack side of things be developed in advance of the Xenserver elements? I'll only answer with regard to the status of new features and 4.2. We have hit feature freeze for that release now, so if it's technically possible to build the feature ahead of XenServer it would end up in the next feature release of CloudStack (assuming that someone builds it).
Re: Public cloudstack UI
On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 08:04:58PM +, Brian Galura wrote: I get the impression cloudstack was really designed for internal clouds. I wouldn't say that at all. There are many public clouds using CloudStack. Does anyone have recommendations for securing a publicly facing install? That would be a great document / blog post to write, but I'm not aware of one. I saw recently there was a patch for rate limiting to mitigate some attacks and we can have some network devices do some basic things in front of the UI/API like ssl etc. Correct, and really that's where a provider has to spend the time. Securing the management environment is the primary area of effort for a provider, since CloudStack itself takes care of the tenants. That environment should (1) be built with redundancy in mind, (2) be protected from the big bad Internet with appropriate FW and / or other network security technologies. Load balancing is also critical to add somewhere, and would normally be the place where you would do your SSL termination for access to the CloudStack API / UI. OTOH, The method of protecting the customer environments will vary, depending on the zone type and other network offering selections that the provider makes. For example, let's assume an advanced networking zone using VLANs for isolation. In that environment, there is a public network that can easily be tied to the Internet directly. The VR's provide FW services for the customer VMs. Now, you can take it a step further and provide cloud-wide edge security, but anything that limits the customer's ability to self service firewall policies should probably be avoided (in the general IaaS use case). If an org is more comfortable using a hardware FW, then that can be done as well. Lots of flexibility is available for deployment designs. So to sum it up, CloudStack is *absolutely* designed for a public provider. You just have to think about how to configure your environment correctly. That's really out of scope from what CloudStack itself should be handling. -chip

Hi Dean, I just setup CloudStack 4.1 to use Active Directory via OpenLDAP proxies and it works fine. One thing that I did differently is to use CloudMonkey CLI to add the LDAP configuration. $ cloudmonkey cloudmonkey api ldapConfig hostname=1.2.3.4 searchbase=DC=XXX,DC=LOCAL queryfilter=(uid=%u) binddn=CN=XXX,DC=XXX,DC=LOCAL bindpass=1.2.3.4 port=389 ldapconfig: binddn = CN= hostname = 1.2.3.4 port = false queryfilter = (uid=%u) searchbase = DC=XXX,DC=LOCAL I assumed that CloudStack would automatically populate the user entry on successful authentication which it did not. You need to create an identical user in CloudStack else authentication will fail. The other thing is that CloudStack allows only one ldap server to connect to. Will need to use a LB in front of the LDAP servers in case you need HA for authentication.

Re: Problems after management server reboot workaround
On Wed, May 08, 2013 at 09:11:43PM +0200, Jori Liesenborgs wrote: Hi everyone, On our cloudstack setup (4.0.2), I noticed that after a reboot of the management server, I was no longer able to start new instances. A secondary problem was that the management-server.log file filled up extremely fast (gigabytes in a few hours), with messages like these: 2013-05-08 05:26:10,627 DEBUG [agent.manager.ClusteredAgentAttache] (AgentManager-Handler-4:null) Seq 7-1033568320: Forwarding Seq 7-1033568320: { Cmd , MgmtId: 38424150221294, via: 7, Ver: v1, Flags: 100111, [{StopCommand:{isProxy:false,vmName:i-2-6-VM,wait:0}}] } to 130450099353672 This turned out to contain an important clue: when looking at the 'mshost' table in the 'cloud' database, instead of seeing one entry for the management server ID, there now were two: | id | msid| runid | name | ... | 1 | 130450099353672 | 1367919381740 | cloud-manager | ... | 2 | 38424150221294 | 1367950608087 | cloud-manager | ... And these two IDs were those that were mentioned in the logfile. In fact, every reboot a new entry in the 'mshost' table appeared, and that new ID was being inserted into the 'host' entries, for system VMs 'v-2-VM' and 's-1-VM'. Browsing through the code, it appears that in the ManagementServerNode.java file, the function getManagementServerId() returns a static value created by the MacAddress class. Now, on a Linux platform (we are using ubuntu), this address is obtained from the first entry that the command /sbin/ifconfig -a shows as output. And this turned out to be the address of the cloud0 bridge interface, which changed after a reboot (or after deleting the bridge using brctl and restarting the entire cloudstack). To avoid having to modify and recompile cloudstack, I created a fake ifconfig: a simple python process that most of the time just runs the real ifconfig (which I renamed to ifconfig-bin), but when called as /sbin/ifconfig -a, it rearranges the output so that eth0 is shown first (and not cloud0). This way, the management server id is basically the MAC address of eth0, which stays the same after a reboot. I haven't had the time to create a long running test yet (I only figured it out this afternoon), but after several reboots, the management server id now stays the same, and I am still able to start new instances. Hope someone finds this useful. Cheers, Jori Jori, This is really interesting. Would you mind opening a bug about it with your findings? And if you're interested in submitting a patch, we'd love that too! -chip
