I don't know what you mean. Currently you can specify ssh_keys in the
context section of the template wizard.

Hi Daniel,

I liked it. Will it be available in 4.2?

Congratz for the good job.

Re: [one-users] New simplified Sunstone view (self-service)

[Jon]

Hello,

Personally, I include at a minimum three unique public keys and would also
like to allow the end user to include their public keys as well.

That said, the context script just reads the SSH_PUBLIC_KEY from the
template, so as long as each key is new line terminated the keys end up in
the correct format in authorized_keys.

E.g.

SSH_PUBLIC_KEY = "ssh-rsa abc123 for@bar
ssh-rsa def456 bar@bar
ssh-rsa hij789 baz@bar"

Produces a properly formatted authorized_keys

(I really wish ssh keys were by default shown at the bottom of the template
when you create the template in sunstone, it's easy enough to change, but
it got old having to modify every template after creating it)

Does this new functionality change that?

Thanks,
Jon aa

Actually, there is a request from a tweet of Ricardo Duarte, where he wrote
that the keypair and user data is missing.

Currently, OpenNebula provides a way to define a default keypair per user
and automatically include it in the virtual machine
  1 Defiine a SSH_PUBLIC_KEY in the user template
  2 Include this variable in the CONTEXT section of the base template
(there is a checkbox in Sunstone for this):
  SSH_PUBLIC_KEY = '$USER[SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]'

Is this enough or are you using more than one keypair per user?

Re: [one-users] New simplified Sunstone view (self-service)

[Daniel Molina]

Hi all,

We are working on a new simplified sunstone view [1], that has been
requested by several users.

https://twitter.com/dmamolina/status/355634576577679360

In this view a user will be able to instantiate a new Virtual Machine in
three steps:
  1. Select a name and a number of vms
  2. Select an instance type.
  3. Select the OS image for this instance(s)

An instance type is an OpenNebula template instead of an erb file.
Therefore, administrators can prepare as many templates (instance types) as
they want and make them available to different users/groups.

In OpenNebula 4.0, the merge action [1] was included for templates. This
action allows us to define a base template and instantiate new virtual
machines providing extra information to this template.

These templates must define all the required information such as network,
capacity, placement.. and leave the OS disk undefined, so the user can
specify the desired image


Feedback

We would like to ask you (the community) if you are missing anything in
this view or if you would like to include anything else in this kind of
scenario.

Thank you for your feedback
