Hi Rich, thanks for the ping again.
We have been in touch with KB (Nux! and I mostly) and submitted our scripts for
building a cloudstack centOS templates upstream. It works and was merged at
some point, but it got pulled back because we stick some scripts in there.
Bottom line is that I feel we need to work further upstream in cloud-init to
improve cloudstack support there, once that’s done, we can come back to the
CentOS builds for cloudstack.
fwiw, our install base is probably ~70% centOS and we already have centOS7
support.
In the OpenStack world, we see CentOS as a great way to get the message
out about OpenStack. Wearing my ASF hat, I'd really like to see the same
vehicle be used to get the word out about CloudStack. CentOS goes to a
lot of events, and many of them are ones that CloudStack isn't at. I'd
love to see the Cloud SIG be a way to get the word about CloudStack into
audiences that typically only ever hear about OpenStack. (Yes, I have
split loyalties here, and that's fine.)
Anyways, a reminder that we will be having this meeting on #centos-devel
at 15:00 UTC *tomorrow*, and it would be awesome to at least have some
representation from the CloudStack community there to ask the right
questions and see what we can do, on the CentOS side, to fix these
cloud-init problems and bring CloudStack some more of the CentOS
spotlight. Or even just show up so that folks can meet you and we can
figure out if there's anything we can do to help one another.
