This is a question I'm also very interested in as OpenNebula currently does not 
have an cloud storage component (either S3 or Rackspace compatible). Anyone got 
any experience with Swift or OpenNebula + Swift integration?

NASA was using Eucalyptus before and as far as I know Nova is a complete 
rewrite from scratch. Comparing the designs it seems that one distinguishing 
factor is that OpenNebula has a central cloud controller which is a potential 
single point of failure and potentially a bottleneck when scaling the size of 
the cloud (don't know if this is an issue in practice). Nova design seems to be 
more loosely coupled (but I might be wrong on this, as information on the web 
about Nova at this stage does not seem always easy to understand or be 
consistent with other information you find).

I very much agree. I would however like to see better support for internal 
hybrid clouds (currently hybrid clouds only work with EC2).

After installing nokogiri, the same old code just works.
It is interesting that I am still using REXML on my scripts but Opennebula
automatically uses nokorigi to take care its own XML handling which is now
doing the proper output (and it looks better too).

But still, I think OpenNebula should work with both REXML and Nokogiri and
there might be some  work needed for the REXML to output the proper format.

[one-users] Open Nebula and Scheduling

2010-12-01 Thread Brian Smith
Hi, All,

I'm researching the possibility of using Open Nebula as a tool to build
a cloud for HPC purposes.  What I'd like to do is use existing HPC
infrastructure to run virtual machine instances and VM-based clusters
for specific applications, the goal being to reduce lead time for
application deployment and to support applications that have very
specific platform requirements that don't necessarily mesh well with our
existing HPC setup.  

What I'd like to do is continue to schedule jobs against the existing
HPC environment using a traditional batch scheduler like Torque/Maui and
use something like Open Nebula to request, from the batch scheduler,
advance reservations for resources to run VMs.  Obviously, the needed
infrastructure is already in place (multi-core cluster nodes with gobs
of memory, network, etc.).  

My main interest is in whether or not either 

a) Open Nebula can interface with a third-party scheduler to schedule
the standing-up of VM instances or

b) It would be possible to extend open nebula to interface with a
third-party scheduler and which bits of the code base I should be
interested in for this.

The goal, from the end-user's perspective, is to be able to continue to
schedule and run traditional bare-metal HPC jobs through Torque/Maui
while at the same time, new users who have specific application needs
can say "I need X cpus, Y RAM, and Z nodes to run my application for the
next month" and have Torque/Maui handle the reservation or the resources
while Open Nebula takes care of the rest.  

Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,

Brian Smith

It's always a little tricky to ask questions like this on mailinglists
of "competing" projects. Readers would have to detect whether it is a
trolling attempt or not. 

I cannot fathom, how many productive installations of OpenStack exist
today. That's why it might be very difficult to find people or
organisations that switched from OpenStack to OpenNebula.

At the same time, I'm interested in OpenStacks general architecture
(which I found after a few clicks under
http://nova.openstack.org/nova.concepts.html). 

What I like about Nova is, that it support UML from the beginning.
That's something I'd like to see in OpenNebula as well (or OpenVZ or
LXC for that matter). 
Furthermore, as an OpenNebula user I'm interested in Swift and whether
it can be integrated into OpenNebula as storage for VMs.

At the moment there seems to be no reason to change from OpenNebula to
OpenStack. And the only reason why Nasa and Rackspace have not
considered OpenNebula as their new platform might be the effort that
already went into the various components from which OpenStack was
"composed". 

I like, that OpenNebula doesn't want to impose certain constraints on
the users regarding his or her infrastructure. It integrates itself
very well into existing setups. As a good toolkit should do.

Kind regards,
Töns

Yeah, same here :| ...

OpenNebula can produce the XML output both using the Nokogiri gem or
REXML if Nokogiri is not found. I'm using Nokogiri with the last git
version and all CDATA content I can see is on the same line as the
enclosing labels.

Perhaps it is the case that you are not using nokogiri? If so, you can
consider trying again after installing it.

Re: [one-users] putting OS images in the image repository

2010-12-01 Thread Carlos Martín Sánchez
Hi Steven,

This is an interesting use-case. When we designed the image repository, we
had to make a compromise between "expectable behaviour" and "advanced
customization usage". I guess this falls into the advanced usage, but
OpenNebula is flexible enough to take this challenge.


To automatically save all VM disks that use a certain Image, you can use
hooks.

I would add a new flag to all the relevant images in your system, either
having them in the image template, or adding them afterwards [1]:
oneimage addattr  AUTO_SAVE YES

This will add the flag to the template:

$ oneimage show 1
IMAGE  INFORMATION

[...]

IMAGE TEMPLATE

*AUTO_SAVE=YES*
DEV_PREFIX=hd
NAME=test_image
PATH=/home/cmartin/trabajo/scratch/steven/disk.img
TYPE=OS

To add a new hook to the system, edit $ONE_LOCATION/etc/oned.conf [2] and
add something similar to the following:

VM_HOOK = [
name  = "auto_save",
on= "CREATE",
command   = "auto_save.rb",
arguments = "$VMID" ]

This will execute a new script, placed in
$ONE_LOCATION/share/hooks/auto_save.rb, every time a new VM is created.
I suggest you to use ruby, because the ruby OCA API [3] will make it easier.

This script will have to:
1) Get the complete information for VM  from OpenNebula.
2) For each disk, check if it is using an Image.
2.1) Get that image's information, and look for the AUTO_SAVE=YES attribute.
If it's present, then issue a onevm saveas operation over that  and
.

To be able to identify the disks later, you could include in the new image
name the  _ string.


This way, files will be all managed by OpenNebula in the repository. If you
are doing this for back-up purposes, and you won't actually instantiate a VM
using this saved images, you can always move that files away from the
repository and then delete the images.


This is the easiest and "elegant" way I see to do this, but any
other opinions are welcome.

I'd also like to ask the community if more people feel this should be
supported out of the box by OpenNebula. If so, we could start a discussion
to determine the specific features or requirements this would imply.


Best regards,
Carlos.

Re: [one-users] OpenNebula vs OpenStack

2010-12-01 Thread Keith Hudgins
Nova (the part of OpenStack that compares with OpenNebula) is *very*
immature at the moment. It's a brand-spanking new project only a few months
old, and doesn't really do much at the moment. In the long run, it may
compare favorably with OpenNebula, but it will be at least 6 months before
Nova begins to catch up. I know a couple of people working on Nova, and
they're VERY good developers, so I have no doubt it will be a very nice
piece of software in the future. If you want to put it into production
today... don't. It's pre-alpha and not even close to feature-complete. You
can launch VMs from Nova, but not much more than that. There's currently not
any solid multi-user support, for example. It's worth tinkering with, for
sure, but not for production.

OpenNebula is mature, proven, and works pretty well. It's not as slick as
some of the commercial products available, but it's much more hackable
(seriously - I've said it before and it's still true - there is NO virtual
infrastructure manager more hackable than OpenNebula), and the community
ecosystem is complex and useful. From the ecosystem you can install a
graphical interface, alternate schedulers, and many install automation
tools.

If you want to look at more mature software to compare, Cloudstack (very
slick, use their reference architecture until you understand how the pieces
fall together), Eucalyptus (good luck! Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud is still the
only reliable, simple way to get this going), Ganeti (very interesting, DRBD
backing store, not intended for large scale though) are good comparison
examples to test. None of them work with the range of hypervisors or APIs
that OpenNebula does, but they may scratch a particular itch you have.

Re: [one-users] OpenNebula vs OpenStack

2010-12-01 Thread Christophe Hamerling - Petals Link
Dear Ignacio,

As an active open source developer and supporter I have no doubt about the
quality and maturity of OpenNebula.
I was just wondering if any user as also experience with OpenStack and can
say more about why they switched from OpenStack to OpenNebula (and I really
hope the switch is this one).
BTW, this will be probably a good point to list somewhere the OpenNebula
'killer' features and why one should use OpenNebula instead of OpenStack.
It is something I wanted to ask last week at OW2 Conference but I think it
is quite complicated when both projects have representatives there... ;)

Christophe

Re: [one-users] OpenNebula vs OpenStack

2010-12-01 Thread Ignacio M. Llorente
Dear Christophe,

We prepared a post [1] with a description of our position as
open-source project when OpenStack was announced in July. From a more
technical point of view, OpenNebula is a mature technology (we started
the development five years ago and did our first release almost three
years ago) that is used to manage very large scale clouds by some of
the world's leading telecom operators, hosting providers and compute
centers of leading research institutions. In our web site [2] we
provide details about the features for private, public and hybrid
cloud management, integration and production environments. We invite
you to compare these features with those provided by OpenStack and
evaluate which technology fits your requirements.

Regards
