Just to add to what Naryan said, I think that unless the developers experience the pain points of a production-style deployment, they generally aren't going to be aware of what these pain points are. We need to both: - Make it easy as possible for developers to get up and running so they can ma

Narayan, I completely agree with you. Developers are our "first line of defense", but they are not the only one. I would love to have different environments (development, SMB deployments, large scale deployments), where all of them have the same behavior, but i'm afraid there is already a long road

Ghe, while you're right that these two workloads are different, deployers need developers to use a representative environment during development, or the code doesn't work when it hits real deployments. We've now been bitten during our initial deployment of cactus, our upgrade to diablo, and our rec

Hi, we are facing two differents problems here. We have developers and final users, and both of them with different expectations about what to get from OpenStack. Developers wants an easy way to test "untested" code, new cool-probably-broken features and be able to change immediately - devstack

Another idea: http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/spectacle That python code seems to be able to take a yaml defintion and generate either rpm specfiles or debian pkg files. It might be forked or extended (or both) and used to generate the initial set of package definitions for op

This is, indeed, the crux of the matter. The release cycle, for both diablo and essex, has been that all kinds of incompatible changes are made right until the end. During the critical month before release when we need as many people ad possible to deploy and test real clusters, documentation i

Yours might make sense to be added on to devstackPY. We have a concept of a persona (thanks! to dreamhost pep's) that might be what you want/use for this also: Features: Supports more than one distribution Currently RHEL 6.2 (with epel), Ubuntu 11.10 (12 WIP), Fedora 16 (WIP) Supports dry-ru

Hi Thomas, I think devstack has done a lot for the developer's use-case, but I believe we should also have a official / semi-official project that does some sort of packaging to help the production use-case. I've proposed a summit discussion: http://summit.openstack.org/sessions/view/26 The back
