-----------------------------------
Summary: Drop virtualbox labs provider
Key: JCLOUDS-758
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-758
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Task
Components: jclouds-labs
Reporter: Adrian Cole
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.8.2
Virtualbox support has been in experimentation mode for over 2.5 years. Working
directly with a hypervisor adds extra responsibility, such as both
orchestrating processes and also api calls. Moreover environment setup can be
extremely brittle.
This provider has had a lot of work from folks including [~andreaturli],
[~dr-alves], mattias, and myself. However, we cannot deny that it has failed to
progress and labs was never intended as a permanent location.
I recommend we remove the virtualbox provider, but thank the authors for their
valiant efforts.
