> GSoC Idea 2022 - Bypass Secondary Storage (Direct Download) on VMware &/or
> XenServer
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-10454
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10454
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Template
> Reporter: Pearl Dsilva
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc2022, mentor
>
> h2. *Background*
> The default way of registering / downloading templates in CloudStack involves
> caching them on the secondary store and then during VM deployment, the
> template is copied to the primary store. However, from ACS version 4.11.1
> onward, a feature was added for KVM hypervisor to enable direct download to
> primary store. This massively reduces the usage of secondary store and also
> quickens the entire VM deployment process, as there is no need to copy the
> template from secondary to primary store.
> h2. *Requirement*
> We would like to propose an idea to extend this feature of direct download of
> templates onto primary store for other hypervisors - namely, VMware and
> XenServer. This would gravely benefit end-users to efficiently use the
> secondary storage and save overall time of VM deployment on the respective
> hypervisors
> h2. *Relevant Skills:*
> Java
> MySQL
> Vue.js
> h2. *Difficulty:*
> 175 hours (Only VMware)
> 350 hours (VMware & XenServer)
> h2. *Potential Mentors:*
> Abhishek Kumar (abhishek.mr...@gmail.com)
> Pearl Dsilva (pearl1...@gmail.com)
