[ANNOUNCE] Will Stevens as new Apache CloudStack VP

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Morning Everyone,

Yesterday at the ASF board meeting, the board passed the resolution making Will 
Stevens the new Vice President of the Apache CloudStack project.

Join me in congratulating Will on this appointment, wish him luck and bring 
your unwavering support !

You may have noticed that Will took on RM duties for the new releases going 
forward and has also taken a very active role to finish bringing us to github 
based  workflow and CI. Will has some updates on that front that I am sure you 
will all like.

Quick note about $dayjob

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi folks,

As some of you might have guessed I am changing $dayjob.

This is an exciting time for me, but it also means that I will become less 
involved with CloudStack. ( I said *less* involved, did not say I was going to 
disappear). I have informed the PMC and offered to stop my VP role ahead of the 
March deadline. As you know we have a one-year rotation for the VP role. 
However if the PMC does not see a problem with it I will gladly continue until 
March.

I will keep this brief but I wanted to let you know so that you don’t wonder 
why my involvement in recent releases and votes has decreased.

It is an exciting time for CloudStack as well, with ever greater releases ( in 
large part to Remi, Wilder and a few others), a strong proposal to offer LTS 
and the commitment from Accelerite.

Change is good, challenges are opportunities says Sensei Wu from Ninjago :)

PS:
If you wonder, I am launching my own container startup called Skippbox. I will 
grant myself a shameless plug, and if you know anyone interested in containers 
and kubernetes I sure could use some help ( https://github.com/skippbox , 
http://www.skippbox.com/blog/), github stars and PRs :)

Cheers,

-Sebastien

Thoughts on Citrix announcement yesterday

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi everyone (cross-posting),

Yesterday Citrix announced that it sold its CloudPlatform business to 
Accelerite from Persistent Systems [1]

As you know CloudPlatform is Citrix’s commercial distribution of Apache 
CloudStack. I wanted to share a few thoughts on what this means for CloudStack.

One of the core tenet of the Apache Software Foundation is non-affiliation to 
companies, as such all of us on these lists participate and contribute to 
CloudStack as individuals. While the majority of us who are contributing daily 
to CloudStack are actually doing it as part of our day jobs we still voice our 
opinions as individuals and companies do not (and should not) have influence on 
what we do. This is one of the things that makes ASF great. This is also one of 
the reasons why the ASF  and us as a project will not comment on this 
announcement. It is Citrix’s business, not ours.

That said, Citrix gave CloudStack to the ASF back in 2012 and contributed 
heavily in the early days to its development and maintenance. We should be 
thankful to Citrix for donating this software and helping the community grow. 
Giving it to the ASF was also the move that allows us to keep on going like 
“business” as usual. We as a project do not depend on Citrix. Hence Citrix 
selling its CloudPlatform business does not change our day to day.

Over the years it is fair to say that Citrix involvement through the many 
individuals participating on these lists as diminished, with the vast majority 
of the work now carried on by others. If we were to do a ASF “faux-pas” and 
actually check affiliation of the folks that are doing most of the development 
and release work, we would see other companies than Citrix. Companies offering 
CloudStack services but also and mostly CloudStack users, a few doing it as a 
hobby and most because their company uses it. This is open source at its core, 
folks using a software, loving it, loving their peers, and contributing back 
for the benefit of everyone.

It is impossible for me to say what Accelerite will do, I have had no contact 
with them so far and did not know this sale was coming. Neither do I know what 
will happen to all the fine Citrix engineers that were still working on 
CloudStack. Whatever they do, I wish them the best and thank them for the 
dedication to our project over the years. Early indication from the press 
release seems to indicate that Accelerite will engage with us. If they do, we 
will welcome them like any contributors to an ASF project. With openness, 
transparency and respect (the Apache way).

I do want to mention that I think this may be an opportunity for CloudStack. 
Observers might think that our project is dead because of Citrix selling its 
business, but they would be mis-informed about the nature of ASF projects. I 
actually believe the contrary and think this will be a time where more users 
and potentially companies will engage more actively. They will see that the 
route to a successful Cloud is through engaging and becoming part of our 
community. They will also finally stop thinking that CloudStack is a Citrix 
product and that might be the kicker that brings them on board.

Finally, being a technical guy, I like to focus on technical things. We have 
done some great strides over the past 8 months, we have stabilized CloudStack 
and are now releasing faster than ever, we have dockerized, we have pluginized, 
we have had several events... In september we will go to Brazil for CCC. Brazil 
is seeing a huge growth in CloudStack adoption.

We still have a ton to do, from removing technical debt, fixing security 
issues, improving packaging, making CloudStack ever more easier to develop and 
use. This has not changed. We have some very important discussions going on 
around LTS and GitHub hosting. If anything I think the container movement is a 
bigger threat to our project than Citrix’s announcement. As companies start to 
embrace the container ecosystem and building containerized applications, what 
happens to CloudStack ? How does CloudStack work in a container world ? The 
same question are valid for OpenStack by the way, I just don’t buy into the 
Magnum effort, but I digress :)

So thank you Citrix, we hope to welcome Accelerite and let’s keep on Stacking,

Re: What is Size of a typical ACS production environment?

[Sebastien Goasguen]

If I had to guess I would say 80/20 applies.

80% of cloudstack deployments < 100 nodes
20% > 100 nodes

There is a long tail..

there is actually research/stats on size of HPC clusters out there, and 80/20 
roughly applies on size of cluster.

CCC EU

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi folks,

CCC Dublin 2015 is over and we had a blast.

Thanks to our sponsors who helped make this happen:
Citrix, Cloud Foundry foundation, Nuage Networks, Shapeblue, Cloudian, 
Solidfire, ikoula, LPI-Japan, PC Extreme and Cloud Ops.

A few take aways:

1-We had 150 people at the event, which is clearly lower than previous events. 
Mesos Conference EU which was just upstairs from us also brought in 150 people, 
and the entire Linuxcon 1500. Getting 10% of the whole of Linuxcon is quite 
good when you think of the breadth of that community.

2-For 2016, we announced CCC Latin America in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The community 
is booming over there and we are all excited to plan that event. Assuming we 
all find the budget, we should all meet up there.

3-LPI-Japan announced a CloudStack certification exam in english. We will 
distribute a code on the mailing lists. With the code if you take the exam, our 
project will get 33% of the proceeds. LPI-Japan and Shapeblue teamed up to make 
this happen.

4-Pierre-Luc Dion and Erik Weber won the Docker challenge. PL gave a 
presentation about his solution and Erik put it on github 
https://github.com/terbolous/cloudstack-docker-compose. Packaging CloudStack as 
containers is an interesting idea going forward.

5-We had several discussions around our new release process, testing and PR 
reviews. Expect a separate email summarizing these discussions and a proposal 
to move forward soon.

I expect all videos to be online in the coming weeks. If you gave a talk you 
can upload your slides through the linuxcon portal or put them on slideshare 
and tweet about it.

Congratulations to all, let’s keep on making CloudStack better,

Cheers,

-Sebastien

UI translation for 4.6

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Milamber reminded me that before releasing 4.6 we should include the latest 
translated strings for the UI.
If you care about translation, you might be interested to work on it in the 
coming days.

Here is where we stand:

Portuguese (Brazil) 100%
French (France) 100%

Japanese (Japan)99%
Hungarian   98%
Chinese (China) 93%
Dutch (Netherlands) 89%
Russian (Russia)75%
German (Germany)71%
Norwegian Bokmål (Norway)   70%
Korean (Korea)  66%
Spanish 53%


Italian (Italy) 36%
Polish  21%
Catalan 13%
Arabic  12%
Persian 11%
Romanian (Romania)  9%
Chinese (Taiwan)7%
Georgian5%
Thai (Thailand) 5%
Turkish (Turkey)2%
Tatar   2%
Indonesian  1%

you can see that Japanese, Hungarian, Chinese and Dutch are really close to 
100%:

cloudstack and docker

CloudStack Docker images on Docker hub.

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi Everyone,

Last week David and I worked on the Docker hub to get automated builds for 
ec2stack and cloudmonkey.

You can now get those on Docker hub:

$ docker pull cloudstack/cloudmonkey
$ docker pull cloudstack/ec2stack

These are automated build of master, I will work to get other tags that 
corresponds to the release.

Please try it and let me know how that works. If you see any issues feel free 
to send PR to the respective projects.
The images will build automatically and you should be able to test it right 
away.

Also you have images for the simulator and the mgt server under cents

$ docker pull cloudstack/simulator
$ docker pull cloudstack/management_centos6

We need to split the MySQL db from the mgt server and get a build going for the 
usage server as well.

The goal would be to have a docker-compose file that starts the mgt server, db, 
usage server and ec2stack.
PR welcome for this, it’s a fun project for anyone interested in Docker.

Enjoy,


-Sebastien

Re: Is ACS will Support Docker

 Hi All,
 
 Can anyone say will the ACS will support docker / RancherOS / CoreOS so
 that we can create a container via cloudstack and assign same as now public
 IP to the container.
 

if you search the archive you will see that we have discussed this several 
times already.

CoreOS templates are well supported and several cloudstack providers already 
offer it in production.

RancherOS is not yet available as a cloudstack template, that would be a nice 
project. Any takers ?

Soem folks are packaging cloudstack in containers for easy deployment.

To date a few of us don’t think cloudstack should orchestrate containers, we 
prefer to leave that to swarm/kubernetes or lattice.

That said there is a ‘docker’ branch in the repo, that was a proof of concept 
of supporting docker…

As far as networking in docker, it is fast evolving right now. Docker network 
is not yet release. IMHO there is no point of jumping hoops with bunch of NAT 
and IP tables magic for port forwarding until Docker network is out and stable, 
not before decembre 2015 (IMHO, Docker 2.0).  At that time, there might be some 
interesting things to do in Cloudstack.



 Thanks,

Re: Any Plan on developing the cloudstack on this

[Sebastien Goasguen]

HI Keerthi,

It seems you want this in cloudstack. 
So how does a feature gets into the code ?

Someone needs to write it, and since Apache is a volunteer open source 
organization there is no funding assigned for code development. The CloudStack 
project as such does not have a budget.

Moreover since we are all volunteers (even though some of us are paid to work 
on cloudstack), we cannot assign issues to each other or tell someone - hey got 
write that feature-.

If you really want this, you can:

1-Create a feature spec on the wiki
2- Check JIRA for similar issues and enter a new JIRA ticket if there is not 
one already
3-Code it yourself and submit a patch
4-Ask some folks at Shapeblue, CloudOps, or on sites like freelancer to do it 
for you.

As far as I know the video you saw was a demo of a proprietary solution from 
citrix. That probably means that a citrix customer asked and paid for that 
feature and they worked on it. Now if there was a way to get that feature in 
CloudStack, we would need to go through some hoops on intellectual property 
clearance and then we would have an unmaintained feature because the developer 
who did that has moved on.

All that said, and I am not a DR expert. One of the premise of cloud is 
on-demand elastic provisioning. You should have configuration management 
recipes to deploy your entire application stack. That stack should be agnostic 
of cloud providers, be it your private or public clouds. And you should have a 
scheme in place to switch endpoint for your apps in a heartbeat with some kind 
of data replication (cassandra, riak…)

So to recap, pragmatic steps:

1-Create a wiki page (you need an account and then I can give you edit 
privileges) and write the feature spec:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/
2- Create a JIRA ticket:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK
3-Edit the roadmap with that wish:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Roadmap

 to be the “goto” event for this community this year
  
 Without your input as speakers, we do not have an agenda and without an

Re: API documentation offline

That’s my fault folks, I moved the website to a new content management system 
so that anyone can modify the site through github pull request.

Doing so I modified the link to the docs.

Ian Duffy, put in a fix to redirect the pages.

 Hi Phillip,
 
 Many thanks for getting back to me. I managed to get it working by
 following this guide yesterday (might be useful for someone else):
 
 http://help.ninefold.com/servers/how_to_create_a_coreos_server/
 
 I put the user-data into a file with my generated token and then convert it
 to base64 with:
 
 base64 -w 0 coreos-userdata
 
 Server was then launched with cloudmonkey:
 
 deploy virtualmachine -userdata=base64stringFromAbove -name core01 -(other
 params for zone, template etc)
 deploy virtualmachine -userdata=base64stringFromAbove -name core02 -(other
 params for zone, template etc)
 
 etc..
 
 Just need to script this now to automatically create farms. Seems to work
 fine!
 
 One piece of good advice seems to be that if you are setting up a CoreOS
 cluster using fleet, if any of the VMs fail to deploy completely, the best
 thing is to get a fresh discovery token and re-deploy all of the VMs. It
 does not seem to be easy to clear a 'failed' record from the discovery
 database.
 
 
 I found this as well, great to hear it wasn't just me.
 

just want to point out that this is a coreOS discovery mechanism “issue”, 
cloudstack is involved there.

 Cheers!

 If you are using a 'Private with Gateway Services' network this simple
 'cloud-config' file should work:
 
 https://github.com/Interoute/CoreOS-and-VDC/blob/master/cloud-config-template-simple
 
 
 And the new VM will pull its config from the virtual router. My CS setup
 uses Advanced Networking, so I don't know how this goes with the Basic
 networking/Security groups.

[ANNOUNCE] No more Review Board for new contribution moving to GitHub

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Morning All,

After discussion [1], we decided to stop using review board to receive 
contributions from non-committers.
Starting now, we accept contributions only through GitHub pull request. (Even 
though you can also attach a patch to a JIRA ticket).

A large number of projects use GitHub and we believe it is easier to submit new 
contribution that way, as well as enter reviews and get more visibility to the 
patches.

The website contribution instructions have been updated [2] and a complete step 
by step guide is available [3].

Cheers,

PS: The left over reviews in RB are still visible but are in discarded state.

CCC Dublin 2015 October 7-8

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi folks,

After getting feedback couple weeks ago on the cloudstack days, Karen Vuong, 
Giles and a couple others who volunteered to help discussed with the Linux 
foundation who is organizing the event.

We are going to take a bit of a gamble, cancel the event in Budapest and make 
Dublin a two day event , collocated with linuxcon. We might also try to 
organize a unconference off-site after the 2 days.

We will re-brand, CloudStack days Dublin: CloudStack Collaboration Conference 
Europe.

To make this happen, we will need to raise an additional $10k

Citrix, Shapeblue and Nuage Networks have already stepped in and sponsored the 
event (and some of the other ones as well, if not all).

So potential sponsors listening on this list, you are welcome to jump in and 
help us make CCC Europe happen again, back by popular demand.

Cheers,

Thoughts on CloudStack while starting as new VP

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Dear members of the CloudStack community,

Last week the Apache Software Foundation board unanimously voted a resolution 
to make me the new VP of Apache CloudStack. This came after a unanimous vote of 
the CloudStack PMC and is regular process of our community as described in our 
bylaws.

I am excited to take on this new role after two amazing VP (Chip and Hugo) 
since CloudStack came to the ASF. Many thanks to them and especially Hugo for 
the work he has done in the past year.

The ASF is setup so that the governance of a project really belongs to the 
community itself. CloudStack is what we all make it to be, we all have equal 
footing when time comes to develop the code, create events, take decisions and 
so on. As VP I do not have a special say in our direction. This governance 
model is in stark contrast with other open source project that follow more of a 
benevolent dictator model. I mention this as a bit of disclaimer and to 
re-enforce the fact that while I have views about what we should do, they are 
my personal views and that they do not represent any sorts of official 
roadmaps, and that anyone is welcome to disagree :)

In Budapest, we had a great conference. Chip and I showed several CloudStack 
use cases. Our user base is strong with over 300 production deployments. Our 
community is large and diverse with 2000 people on the mailing lists, but we 
need to keep advocating for CloudStack, make it an even greater software and 
grow our community. At the very least this helps us learn from each other, 
better our own skills and our employers IT infrastructure. At the very best AWS 
switches to CloudStack :)

So here are some food for thoughts that will hopefully excite you, want to get 
engage, talk about CloudStack and bring on board your friends:

On the code:
-
- Keep improving quality, remove dead code, cleanup JIRA, cleanup Review Board
We have successfully moved to GitHub pull requests, we should stop using RB
- Simplify the dev process and adopt a new committing system to avoid 
regressions at all costs.
We have talked about this for a long time but have failed had doing something 
concrete. It is time.
- Remove the AWSAPI (there is a branch without it right now), we should merge 
it in master
I am going to push for IP clearance of ec2stack and gstack to get them under 
ASF governance.
- Several Cloud Providers have unveiled new CloudStack UI, maybe it’s time we 
do the same.
- Solidify the testing infrastructure, keep Jenkins builds running
- Brainstorm on the future of CloudStack and IaaS in general. What should 
CloudStack be in 10 years ?
While CloudStack is what it is now, nothing prevents us to re-architect, 
re-think, re-code it within the current framework.
- Finally, package the mgt server and the KVM agent as Docker containers
Docker is a great portability mechanism. We should embrace Docker as a 
packaging tool (first) and provide container images for our mgt server (at a 
minimum).
This could become a type of release artifact that could be easily continuously 
built.


On the ecosystem:
-
We have a really strong ecosystem. From configuration management tools, API 
wrappers, PaaS plugins etc.
We need to feature our ecosystem clearly on our website, support it and keep on 
growing it as new technologies emerge.

Things that come to mind:
- Push to get our Ansible module into the Ansible core
- Publish “official” chef recipes to deploy CloudStack
- Identify and publish “official” Puppet recipes
- Build Docker native templates (coreOS, rancherOS, Snappy, Atomic)
- Finally cleanup cloud-init support for CloudStack, this is preventing us from 
having upstream centOS templates.
- Publish playbooks/recipes to deploy workloads on CloudStack (think Hadoop, 
Spark, Kubernetes)
- Work actively on up to date integration with CloudFoundry

On documentation:
-
I and couple others successfully moved our docs to the Read The Docs service. 
This was a first great move but we need to finish the job.
We need to rethink our documentation tree, maybe merge all guides in one, 
correct the docs, create a new theme for it.
This is an easy area to contribute to if you are using cloudstack. Just send a 
pull request (click on the top right ribbon).
If you don’t know how, then it will teach you how to use github, great exercise.
We also need to routinely build the multi languages support.

On Events:
-
We have at least four great events coming in 2015. Austin, Seattle, Tokyo and 
Dublin.
Let’s meet at one of those events.
Let’s submit a talk or a poster, tell everyone about the great stuff you are 
doing with CloudStack.
If you are in a position at your company to sponsor the event, please do, we 
need your help to make those great events.
Open Source is about collaboration and sharing, so let’s meet around the globe 
from Sao Paulo to Dublin to Tokyo and talk Cloud, DevOps and Docker :)

or website

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi,

The website has been bugging me greatly, it's not up to par with today's 
website and does not portray our project in a good way.

I decided to try something quick. I created a gh-pages branch in our repo, 
orphaned from the rest of the code based and pushed that.
It shows up on github due to the mirroring:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/gh-pages

And it builds:

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/gh-pages

I believe that's nice, it allows us to keep the website under ASF root repo but 
the mirroring allows us to use github pages.
That means we can take pull requests to build our website instead of using svn 
or the apache CMS.

Any amazing web designer on these lists who wants to take a crack at a modern 
design for cloudstack ?

thanks,

[EVENTS] CloudStack days in 2015

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Morning folks,

After discussions on dev@ and marketing@ , it was decided to split the CCC 
conferences into more one day events that span the glob.
Planning a 3 day event like CCC is a big task and we all thought it would be 
easier to do one day event that we can repeat more often and in different 
locations.

There recently was already a very successful CloudStack day Brazil with over 
200 people attending.
http://cloudstackday.com.br

For the rest of 2015 we already have dates for five events:

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-austin
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-tokyo
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-seattle
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-budapest
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-dublin

Put them in your schedule and keep an eye out for the call for papers.

If you are interested to help organize these events, the planning/update will 
happen on the market...@cloudstack.apache.org mailing list.

 Guys, 
 
 Not sure if anyone has done some more testing with CoreOS. I am currently 
 doing a PoC and having some issues with building the cluster. 
 
 The template itself is working okay and the user supplied ssh keys are 
 properly registered with the instance. However, the etcd cluster is not 
 forming properly. The instances can see each other and there is no fw to 
 block the requests. 
 
 I am using addr and peer-addr settings in the config-cloud.xml in the 
 following manner: the first instance will have addr and peer-addr to the same 
 IP - 10.0.1.x:4001 and 10.0.1.x:7001. The remaining instances will have the 
 same addr value, but the peer-addr reflects the instance's internal ip 
 address. 
 
 Upon starting the instances, i can see that all hosts join the cluster - 
 journalctl -u etcd -f tell me that the instances join the cluster. However, I 
 am unable to do anything with the cluster. For instance, when I try to query 
 the machines, it times out: 
 
 etcdctl --debug=true ls /_etcd/machines --recursive 
 Cluster-Peers: http://10.0.1.45:4001 http://10.0.1.45:4001 
 http://10.0.1.45:4001 http://10.0.1.45:4001 
 Curl-Example: curl -X GET 
 http://10.0.1.45:4001/v2/keys/_etcd/machines?consistent=truerecursive=truesorted=false
  
 
 Perhaps someone can tell me what I am missing? 
 

on a break right now, so short answer. I wrote some ansible recipes to create 
etcd cluster on cloudstack:
https://github.com/runseb/ansible-kubernetes

suggestion, you might first want to check if you can bootstrap it with coreOS 
discovery system.

that might help.

I am saying that you don't need to tweak the template.

if you register ssh keys in cloudstack and deploy a VM based on that template

no need to install additional scripts in the templates, etc...

 After that I have registered the template with SSH key enabled (You

 Once an instance was created with one of my ssh keys, I could login
 via ssh as

 The template has also nicely expanded to fit my custom root disk size.

 Osay,
 
 You need to check the documentation on how to install your ssh keys
 into the
 template. Once you've done this, you should be able to login with ssh
 keys.
 I've done this once about 6 months back and it worked perfectly well.
 
 I think the coreos is works much better with openstack as it
 integrates well
 with the environment and automatically get's the user keys from
 openstack. So,
 you don't have to mess about the recreating the template. I think
 similar is
 done for major cloud providers like amazon and rackspace, etc.

 Hi Seb,
 
 I've converted the .bin file into a .vhd file and successfully
 registered
 this in Cloudstack. However when I create an instance I'm unable to
 login.
 I've tried core but it asks for a password (which I don't have). Do
 you by
 any chance know how this template is used?
 
 Cheers,

 I guess there has been a lot of changes since i've last checked. When I was

it works totally out of the box. As Lucian mentioned if you start an instance 
specifying an SSH key, the instance will get it from the VR userdata….

as easy as pie and exactly like on AWS or EC2

I pointed to the automated builds from coreOS directly and the scripts used to 
setup the keys automatically.

 Oh, forgot to add that userdata scripts have also worked upon VM deployment 
 out of the box, so if you'd like your CoreOS instance to do some action you 
 can script it here.
 
 Not sure how exactly it would work better on Openstack as Andrei intimated. 
 Pretty much everything seemed to work to the best of my (limited Coreos) 
 knowledge.

  What I needed to do in order to get it working is convert the image to 
  QCOW2 (I
  use KVM).
  
  After that I have registered the template with SSH key enabled (You can also
  enable this feature in the DB if you would like to avoid re-downloading the
  template).
  
  Once an instance was created with one of my ssh keys, I could login via ssh 
  as
  core@IP with the said keypair.
  The template has also nicely expanded to fit my custom root disk size.
  
  For future convenience I've added a daily jenkins job to build Cloudstack
  CoreOS, they should be available shortly at:

 Hi all,
 
 Any news on progress with the docker container support for ACS?  I've seen
 a few articles on how to install CoreOS on ACS and thence docker as well as
 the wish list for docker containers to be supported in ACS like LXC but I
 was wondering when this'll become a reality.  Also seen mentioned elsewhere
 that Exoscale has docker templates?  Would be nice if this can go to market
 sooner.

The docker templates in exoscale are CoreOS templates which anyone can 
install on their cloudstack setup from:

http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/

Note that Docker can be installed on ubuntu or centOS with close to a one line 
bash script passed as userdata…

I am of the opinion that supporting docker as a hypervisor type in ACS (like 
LXC) is not the right way to do it.

Docker is more like a workload. You start a cluster of docker hosts on 
CloudStack and then use all the Docker ecosystem to manage your containers.

And as Nux mentioned there are two pull requests in the Docker machine feature 
to add cloudstack driver. That means that from Docker you will be able to start 
an instance on an ACS cloud and use the docker cli form your local machine. It 
also means that we will see Docker swarm support CloudStack as well really 
soon. We are better off making sure that a cloudstack driver works well in 
machine and swarm that spend time adding a docker hypervisor in cloudstack.

my 2 cts.

-I just submitted a small patch for Stack Storm to work with exoscale
it can be extended to work with CloudStack generically
https://github.com/StackStorm/st2contrib/pull/66

-I submitted a pull request to have a Dockerfile in the cloudstack source code 
so we can
build a docker container than contains the simulator
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/61

 Any ideas on how we can actually implement this and also people may not even 
 remember the names of these args and they may want autocompletion for that as 
 well? Right now with autocompletion enabled (set paramcompletion true), one 
 can easily tab tab on an arg that is of uuid, boolean (and a special case 
 account param) type and cloudmonkey lists uuids with names so one can pick a 
 uuid for a suitable name.
 
 If we want to do autocompletion of names and which then translate to uuids is 
 sort of doable but it will require a lot of background list API calls and a 
 translation layer which can slow down cloudmonkey, and there is a corner case 
 that an entity got removed and the name to uuid translation layer in 
 cloudmonkey won’t know which uuid to pick and fail (few people may find it 
 alright).
 

no idea how to implement it :) I have not looked at the code in a long time. 

That's just a feature request, maybe it's not a good one.

 +1 for what Nux said - freezing new development for CloudStack and
 polishing new stuff.
 
 We already discussed this during CCCEU14, and I really think this should be
 priority - but discussion during CCCEU14 and really doing it as discused
 are 2 different things, hoping developers will align to the goals...
 Because, I understand that some developers want to work on new features,
 and that fixing bugs and improving current stuff is more boring - but it
 makes no sense to me to make new stuff without current one not working good
 in some areas.

In my opinion we are making a mistake in our community in splitting the users 
and the developers.

There seems to be a thinking that only folks that are on the dev list can 
actually fix the code, docs etc.

Anyone can, this is open source at the Apache Software Foundation.

Anyone can join the dev@ list and help there, also you don't need to be on the 
dev list to submit patches, submit bugs , correct the docs.

There is no such thing as the devs and the users.

When we ask for things to be fixed, we can fix it ourselves. The problem like 
in any open source software is that CloudStack as a project does not have
developers on staff that can fix things on-demand. We are very much dependent 
on whoever works on the code to fix things.

In JIRA there is a way to vote for issues.

So what I suggest is that everyone takes a bit of time, to vote on their top 5 
issues, once we have significant amount of votes we can publicize amongst 
ourselves and see who will have time and knowledge to be able to fix them.

 If you have a fairly simple straightforward configuration and dont need
 bells and whistles there is nothing wrong with Cloudstack.
 It is in fact extremely easy to deploy.. and simple to configure as
 long as you fall inside their requirements.

 Slightly pissed at the switched to Openstack remark.
 Using Openstack as a means to force/suggest new features into ACS
 is silly. I also want KVM snapshotting to happen, but I think there
 are more important things to fix first.
 
 In my personal view, I wish ACS stopped completely development on
 new features for a while and made the current features rock solid.
 
 I know we need new features to keep developers happy who would
 otherwise slit their veins from boredom, but I personally do not care
 that much for S3 compatibility or SDN or what not. When my deployment
 will be large enough to need that I'll probably have enough money to
 develop them myself (and contribute them back).
 
 Most people do not need FreeIPA or who knows what other bells and
 whistles.
 I do like Openstack, I know  like some people involved with it and
 I use(d) it (was even a mod on the RDO forum), but I don't want the
 bloody kitchen sink in my servers. I want peace of mind and reliable
 services for my customers who also don't give a rat's arse about said
 features; all they want is their application or site to work 24/7.
 
 Personally I want everything that we have NOW fixed, polished; usage
 stats working (with SG zones), proper backup and restore of volumes,
 security groups finalised (hello IPv6, it's almost 2015!), no silly
 GUI mistakes or typos in new releases and so on.
 
 Competing with Openstack head on is a dead end, stop chasing!
 Everybody pushes all sorts of stuff into it which takes a lot of time,
 effort and money to get working, if at all.
 Average Joe will not use that in production, just like he won't use
 Gentoo, Fedora or Archlinux in production, it sucks; you use battle
 tested stuff like CentOS or Ubuntu LTS.
 
 For Average IT manager Joe to be capable of using Openstack in
 production companies like Mirantis or eNovance need to take their
 time, freeze it, slow it the fsck down, polish it, decide which
 features can't be used actually (many, I bet!), package it in a sexy
 wrapping and then put it up for sale (or download).
 
 Basically they'll have to build a Cloudstack. We're already there!
 Sort of ... :-)

 we need to wait for XenServer to release then we need to wait for

 Dear Support
 
 I realized that the Cloudstack API can be mapped with the EC2 API, but what's 
 about Portability to EC2, is there a way to live or manual migrate an 
 instance from EC2 to Cloudstack? If yes, what's with other public cloud 
 vendors?
 

Short answer: no

You are probably looking for an application level decision. For example you 
could load-balance between instances in different clouds.

What I believe people do is that they automate their instance/application 
provisioning so that they can deploy instantly in their cloud of choice, 
coupled with things like load balancing and global DNS you have very resilient 
apps across clouds and geos.

You might consider cold migration among clouds as a re-provisioning of an 
instance. Think how much time it takes to transfer a 20 GB image versus 
restarting from scratch.

Unfortunately no. It's not focused on installation, but rather on tools that 
you can use with the API.

I have an installation section but it deals with development from source, and a 
basic zone installation using the binary packages.

 I really love CS but taking it from a test bed to a production offering is a 
 really big leap without som e help.

 I have been using
 http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-administration site
 for CS documentations while installing CS 4.3.0.
 
 However, I just noticed that the url for systemVM templates has changed
 to point to CS 4.4.0 templates  in section
 http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/lat
 e
 st/installation.html#prepare-the-system-vm-template .
 
 It would be nice to also list URL to systemvm templates for past versions
 on the page for people who are still using older CS versions.
 
 Thanks

 On the main docs landing page there is a (really) small v on the left

 Agreed its a pain to find it though. Lets hope the folks in charge of docs
 change it to be easier.

Everybody is in charge of docs ?

one can just patch the RTD template...

 it includes template urls for supported hypervisors.

[EVENT] CCC EU Poster Session

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Morning folks,

The schedule for the CloudStack conference in Budapest Nov 19-21 has been 
published and looks great:

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/cloudstack-collaboration-conference-europe/program/schedule

We received several inquiries about the Global Poster Session, asking what it 
was.

The poster session will close the conference on the Friday afternoon. It will 
bring everybody back into the main auditorium for some informal presentation.
Imagine a booth crawl, but instead of booth you have the speakers setup around 
the room an standing by an easel/board with their printed slides displayed on 
the board. Attendees walk around, check out the posters and stop for questions, 
chatting with the presenter. All posters are displayed in the room at the same 
time.

It should be fun, very interactive and a way to showcase your work in a less 
formal manner than a presentation in front of a seated audience.

Hope to see you there,

Cheers,

-Sebastien

Re: awsapi vs ec2stack

 Anyone out there using or have experience either/both of these that can 
 comment on pros and cons?
 
 Previously I was unsuccessful at getting awsapi working on 4.1 and only just 
 today found out about ec2stack.  I was going to give it another try now that 
 I am on 4.4 on one of my setups and was wondering if anyone had any 
 comments/thoughts on these two options.
 
 thanks,
 Carlos

Carlos,

I was part of the project that wrote ec2stack with Darren and Ian in cc.

ec2stack is a python application using Flask micro framework to expose the ec2 
query API. It is uncoupled from cloudstack and can run on the mgt server or 
even on your local machine.
You might want to check this short tutorial: http://codac.co/ec2/README.html

The github page also has docs:
https://github.com/BroganD1993/ec2stack
https://github.com/BroganD1993/ec2stack/wiki/User-Guide

It is mostly aimed at supporting basic zones, but also has support for VPC 
since 3 weeks ago.

IMHO it is easier to maintain/extend and a much smaller code footprint. Right 
now it is not an official cloudstack release even though Darren, Ian and I are 
part of cloudstack community. We might put it under ASF governance if there is 
interest in it.

Awsapi has you know is strongly tied to cloudstack and the app comes bundled in 
the source and in the package repo. It is java based and built dynamically from 
the AWS wsdl. other than that since it's Java I don't know much about it. My 
personal opinion is that very people in the community know about its internals 
and it has proven difficult to maintain plus package properly. So I prefer 
ec2stack mostly because I know how it's written and that it is decoupled from 
cloudstack.

Would be great to have you try ec2stack and give us some feedback, either on 
this list or on the github page.

Cheers,

-Sebastien

You can find the latest 4.3 source at:

If you could test it and check that everything you need is in there, that would

I can still cherry pick some bug fixes if folks give me the commit ids (from

 Hossein, that question does not make any sense to me. XMPP is a protocol

 You can't compare XMPP and virtualization.
 
 
 What the ArchipelProject is looking for?
 
 No idea, I have never used it, but looks like they use xmpp for virtual
 machine monitoring and it seems provisioning.
 You asked about XMPP and cloudstack, I googled and found this project
 which seems of interest,
 
 
 Sebastien, what do you think?
 
 Check out archipelprojet, head to scholar.google.com , do some research,
 read
 write some code with xmpp, install ejabberd.
 
 What I do think is that XMPP is cool and highly scalable, so it can be
 used as a communication protocol for distributed systems, especially one
 where the agents are transients.
 
 Have at it ...

 My organization uses Zenoss as our monitoring solution. We leverage the good, 
 but horribly documented, API to automate the addition/deletion of new 
 VM’s/devices. Minimizing the management requirements of the monitoring 
 solution. Aside from Zenoss, Zabbix, Nagios, and Pandora are all good 
 choices. Each, has their pro’s and con’s.
 
 You’re always going to face management problems in a public cloud. one quick 
 and dirty way to ensure easy management would be to enable SNMP polling on 
 all of your templates and monitor your entire public block. It’s lazy, but it 
 would minimize the time need to manage new VM’s in your monitoring solution.

 Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2014 18:37:45 -0600
 
 
 
 
 I am almost there to having a working config with advanced network on 
 vsphere 5.1
 So I am using a pretty basic advanced network zone using vlan for isolation. 
 Details are below:
 Public range = x.x.233.0/24
 Guest cidr = 10.1.1.0/24
 VLAN range = 400-405
 
 1. I create an instance of the default centos5.3 template, choosing to 
 create a isolated network based on 
 DefaultIsolatedNetworkOfferingWithSourceNatService
 2. The system spawns a system router.
 3. The system spawns the guest vm.
 4. The router is made a part of the public vlan 233 and the isolated vlan 400
 5. The guest vm is made a part of the isolated vlan 400.
 6. The router is assigned an IP address on the isolated network of 10.1.1.1. 
 The router is able to get out to the internet fine, and is able to ping the 
 guest instance.
 7. The guest is assigned an ip address on the isolated network. The guest vm 
 is able to ping the router
 Network Topology would look as follows:
 guestvm --- system router --- firewall --- router --- internet
 Up to this point everything LOOKS perfect...BUT...my guest vm is not able to 
 get out to the internet.
 At first I thought my problem might be with the hop after the system router 
 which is my firewall. So what I did was to imitate what CS is doing, but 
 with windows machines. Basically I spawned two machines, one which acted as 
 a guest vm, the other to act as a system router. On the windows box, which I 
 simulated the system router, I enabled routing and remote access to enable 
 NAT. In this configuration the guest vm was able to use the simulated system 
 router and browse the internet just fine. The test topology would look as 
 follows:
 guest vm --- simulated router running windows and NAT --- firewall --- 
 router --- internet
 So this leads me to believe that something is wrong with the system router 
 and how it is NAT'ing. Up to this point I have tried the default network 
 service DefaultIsolatedNetworkOfferingWithSourceNatService and created a 
 new network offering using DNS,DHCP, and SourceNAT. 
 I think once I get past this hurdle I will be be good to goany help is 
 hugely appreciated!!

 Hi,
 
 I’ve spent a fair bit of lab time trying to get GRE tunnelling working in
 CloudStack 4.2.1 / Xenserver 6.1 but have had no luck so far.
 
 As per various posts, documents and wiki articles I’ve got:
 
 - Xenserver 6.1 cluster with all patches, CloudStack 4.2.1 installed from
 RPMs (CentOS 6.5).
 - Advanced zone configuration (no security groups).
 - Public and management networks configured with VLAN isolation (bonds).
 - sdn.ovs.controller set to “true, sdn.ovs.controller.default.label set
 to network label of the guest network.
 - Guest network traffic configured for GRE,  IP interfaces configured on
 the guest network and “VLAN range” configured.
 
 The problem is tunnels won’t come up, tagged networks are created but no
 GRE tunnels are created between XS hosts. Whilst the SSVM and CP come
 online the domain router and the first VM fail to start.
 Checking the management server logs the root cause seems to point to a
 “createTunnelNetwork failed” error.
 
 Doing a bit more digging I found the following bug logged back in
 September:
 
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4599
 
 1) Considering the bug above was logged for CS4.1 - is GRE under active
 development as per 4.2.1/4.3? Is it considered to be a working component of
 CloudStack?
 2) Has anyone managed to get GRE tunnelling working - if so are there any
 patches / workarounds / specific component versions required?

Hi Sam, good to hear you want to take cloudstack for a tour :)

If you want to encapsulate everything (cloudstack management and hypervisor 
used to spawn VMs) within a VM.

There are different ways to do this:

DevCloud: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/DevCloud

It's pre-packaged and baring a few caveats, you will get CloudStack running 
quickly. However it's a Xen kernel.

If you are a KVM guy: the easiest way to do this would be to use vmware 
workstation or fusion to take advantage of hardware virtu. You can then use KVM 
directly within the VM and setup CloudStack for testing. You can then follow 
this guide:
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.1.1/html/qig/index.html
 to setup everything on your own. Someone did it the other day in 20 minutes.

What CS is looking for?? I have Host server installed as Debian + 
 XCP-XAPI instead on typical XCP1.6 install. Can this be a problem?
 

Vladim, I did this some time back. xapi setup on debian or ubuntu system is 
non-trivial (at least to me), there are lots of little tricks to do:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XAPI_toolstack_on_a_Debian-based_distribution

I'd suggest you go through the wiki page and make sure xapi is setup properly. 
I don't think it's a cloudstack issue per se.

 Thanks,

 I think my signature is correct.Then I generate complete URL:

I think it's 'apikey' lowercase

if that's not the issue, then check your url encoding of all the strings…

See: 
https://github.com/runseb/cloudstack-books/blob/master/en/developer.markdown

I wrote an example in python.


 However,I get the error message as show below:

 I just don't know why?Any reply will be appreciated!

Re: Secondary storage not working

 Hello,
 I have just installed a cloudstack management server and I have problems
 with secondary storage.
 I get my first problem when I issued the command to prepare system vm 
 template
 I discovered that cloud user and cloud database were not present.
 Then I discovered that the cloudstack-setup-databases command gave me a
 list of ok but it did not install the db.
 So I manually run the mysql scripts and the server went up.
 
 I was able to add the same host that runs management server also as host for
 virtual machines without errors.
 
 But now I see that the system vms like ssvm are in state starting and not
 UP, and I cannot see templates and isos.
 
 What can I do? Can you please help me?

This tends to happen if you don't have enough ram in your host. Check the 
management logs, if you see an error like Unsufficient capacity then RAM may 
be your issue.

If you downloaded the source, the service_offering for systemVMs require quite 
a bit of RAM. Go in the database and see how much RAM is required:

use cloud;
select * from service_offering;

set the RAM for the console proxy, VR and ssvm to 256….then restart the mgt 
server...

 
 Thanks,
 Mario

 Hi All,
 
 At this link: 
 https://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.2.0/html/Installation_Guide/management-server-install-flow.html
 
 The command for installing the management server for Ubuntu is spelt 
 incorrectly, make sure you spell management correctly if you are copying and 
 pasting from the guide.
 
 If someone could spend the 20 seconds updating the guide, even better.

Re: ACS 4.2 Error adding S3/Ceph secondary storage

 Sanjeev, 
 
 Thanks for the information. Does anyone know of the best way to migrate from 
 nfs secondary storage to S3? At the moment, my NFS storage is used for 
 storing templates, including system vm templates. Is it safe for me to remove 
 it and create the new S3 secondary storage? Would it copy systemvm templates 
 onto a new storage automatically or do I have to manually do that? If so, how 
 would I copy the systemvm template onto a non-NFS storage? 
 
 Many thanks

 That means one of the zones in your setup may be having NFS as the secondary 
 storage provider. Make sure that none of the zones use NFS for secondary 
 storage if you want to use S3 .

 Hello guys, 
 
 I am trying to add a new secondary storage provided by Ceph's S3 radosgw, 
 which i've configured and tested. Right after adding it via the GUI I have 
 the following message/error: 
 
 You can only add new image stores from the same provider NFS already added 
 
 Does anyone know what this message means? I am a bit confused here as I am 
 not adding the NFS secondary storage, but instead adding the S3 storage. 
 
 Cheers

 Hi,
 
 As far as I'm aware there is no shibboleth authentication.
 

A shibboleth plugin would be very welcome :)

 However, you can hook directly up to LDAP.

Raj, our integration testing are run against ubuntu 12.04, so it might be

Are you using the packages or compiling from source ?
