Hello, I am an Apache CloudStack developer and PMC member. At the last apachecon I have been looking for feedback on a functional specification for distributed applications [1]. So far, we have not gotten any feedback from outside the project but from within we have been searching our way around and have gotten to look at Brooklyn. Hope you guys`n’dolls have some patients with me.
What the CloudStack project aims to be is an integrated turnkey solution for entry level cloud deployments. That means we don’t want to burden users with extra install responsibilities as much as we can. Looking at clustered environments we don’t want people to have to install aria, Brooklyn or TerraForm to be able to orchestrate groups of related VMs or containers. On the other hand, we do not want to re-invent the wheel as we kind of did in the Functional Specification from the link above [1]. I know that Brooklyn supports CloudStack through a plugin but I am looking for a way to integrate the engine, that Brooklyn provides, into CloudStack so that writers of specific application plugins like ccs, a K8Cluster plugin [2], can write their environment description in a rather generic way and call the underlying CloudStack API to have the ‘applicationscape’ automagically created. Do you people have any advice here?
