Future of CloudStack VMware Support

2012-04-24 Thread Kevin
Since CloudStack is moving towards an Apache project, does that mean its great 
compatibility with ESXi will begin to fade away in future releases because 
development will be focused solely on open source hypervisors?

That is the reason I had to move away from using OpenStack and would hate for 
the same thing to happen to CloudStack.

Hi Kevin:

So first a disclaimer - I speak only for myself.
That out of the way, there are no plans to ditch VMware support. It
will likely become a bit more onerous to install. (CloudStack uses the
VMware SDK which is not available under an Apache-friendly license
(but is gratis), and as we come into line with the licensing policies
of the ASF I imagine this SDK will disappear and the end-user will
have to install this on their own)
But if you check out http://wiki.cloudstack.org you'll see a number of
folks working on a number of VMware-specific enhancements like
Distributed vSwitch.

Cloudstack has been Hypervisor agnostic all along. We cannot think of 
cloudstack that is tied to a Hypervisor. The developer community is very 
vibrant and won't let that happen. I think your concerns are misplaced.

Hi Robert:
Do you know what's most common way for java project packaging under 
Linux?


The packaging is really independent from building the code. The most 
common build tool used for Java application on Linux is Ant.



We look forward to getting rid of waf for a long while, but not see an 
easy way.  Using scripts with Ant to package RPM seems to not have much 
difference that waf,  for waf is a sort of scripts as well.


The build tool should no create the package. From your perspective you 
should focus on building the code. For the install step the build tool 
should respect the value of the DESTDIR variable. everything else 
concerning the packaging is in the spec file, for RPMS, and equivalent 
for .dbe packages.
Once decouple the code build, i.e. the transition from .java to .jar, 
and the package build (where stuff ends up on the system), things become 
a lot easier.


A Java app should be no different in this respect than a C/C++ app. In 
the C/C++ world make is the build tool of choice. Upstream projects do 
not include rules about how to build packages in their makefiles. 
Neither should your build mechanism, may it be WAF or Ant.


HTH,
Robert

jar dependency question

2012-04-24 Thread Robert Schweikert

Hi,

Looking at the build mechanism there are some hard coded jar 
dependencies, such as


"tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api.jar",
"tomcat6-el-2.1-api-6.0.24.jar",
"tomcat6-jsp-2.1-api-6.0.24.jar",

for RHEL. On SLES the tomcat6 expression language (tomcat6-el) is not 
available. What ill effects are to be expected without this functionality?

This would include the /usr/lib64/cloud/console-proxy directory as well

/usr/share/java/cloud-console-proxy.jar should therefore also not be

Yes, you are right, console proxy should not be packaged, at one time, console 
proxy is deployed along with KVM agent, and this is the legacy from that. This 
feature has been depreciated.

I'll poke around this. Thanks for the pointer.

There are many different reasons one might want alternative routing
templates. Primarily, the one I'm going after is this: As far as I can
tell, if using an advanced networking install, there isn't a way to
directly allocate a public IP to an instance. The only want to get a
public IP is to allocate one as part of an isolated network with NAT
mapping. I'd prefer to *not* deal with this NAT mapping. My
alternative is to make a custom systemVM where I can customize/add my
needs. At the same time, I don't want to break existing applications
that are perfectly suited to use the Advanced Router.

Protocols like SIP and the associated RTP do not play well with NAT's
(it can be done but it really complicates things). Other examples are
customized load balancers, session tracking, etc where underlying NAT
is very application specific. Having multiple layers of NAT and
redirection is something I'd like to avoid.

Another can of worms is debugging, oftentimes (especially dealing with
external organizations) I need direct access to the public IP for a
tcpdump of a session. Not having this is really annoying (maybe i'm
just too new to cloudstack?).

[DISCUSS] proposal to select a mascot for Apache CloudStack while in Incubation

2012-04-24 Thread Peder Ulander
Now that CloudStack is an Apache incubation project, it feels like it
should have a mascot to help establish its own unique identity, similar to
the Hadoop elephant, Linux penguin and Tomcat um, cat.



I’d like to propose we do this in a way that allows the community to
solicit ideas of for the mascot, then to vote on the final winner from a
list of candidates.  The idea is pretty simple:



a)  Put out a “call for submissions” and ask community members [you] to
reply with their thoughts on what “Cloudy” should look like, and why. For
example, a submission might say “I would design Cloudy as two lightning
bolts with a blue cloud behind them. This would represent the scalability
and power of CloudStack to build real production clouds.” (Note that I’ve
been referring to the mascot as “Cloudy”, but if people have better ideas
for the name, they could suggest that as well.)



b)  Have an independent designer read all the inputs, and create a
series of cool design options based on the community input.



c)Put up a website where everyone can vote on the best option. I’d
propose we do it as a tournament style bracket where the mascots face off
against each other, with the winners moving on based on community votes
until we have a final winner.



I’ve talked with the Citrix team about this. They agree with the goal and
are very supportive of making sure CloudStack looks and feels like a true
Apache project, not a commercial Citrix product. They have even volunteered
to fund the designer and website (these would not be done by Citrix
employees or have any Citrix branding – they’re only offering to fund them
to help the goal of Apache CloudStack establishing its own identity and
doing so in a fun, engaging way.)



The final decision, of course, would need to be ratified by the PPMC, so
after the community votes, we can take a vote in the PPMC to ratify their
selection. Would be a simple up or down vote to accept the entry with the
most votes.



Proposed timeline:



· “Call for Submissions” to be sent out to cloudstack-dev as soon
as the PPMC approves this proposal

· Submissions would be due by the end of the month (April 30)

· Give the independent designer a week to do the designs

· Launch the voting website at the beginning of the following week
(May 7)

· Let the voting run for a couple of weeks, depending on how many
options are in the brackets

· After the voting is complete, put the winning mascot choice out
to PPMC for up/down vote to ratify (mid-to-late May)



Feels like this would be a fun and engaging way to begin establishing a
unique identity for CloudStack that’s clearly and visually independent from
Citrix, and do it in a fun, engaging way that involves the broader
community. Time is short, but if we keep to the above timeline, we could
get the voting site up and running before the Citrix Synergy conference,
which I think would be good for community optics. If folks like the general
idea, we could call for a PPMC vote to move forward quickly.

Sounds good - less than a week for submissions (I'm presuming PPMC approval 
will take a day or two) seems tight...but if this goes the way paper 
submissions go, 80% of the submissions will be on the last day, anyways. Just 
need to make sure we get the word out to folks.

Another variant would be to open the submissions for a month or so and let 
those that want to submit their design ideas (actual images and artwork do so) 
as well as ideas.  It let's people be creative and strut their stuff so to 
speak.   

Create a page on the CloudStack Incubator Wiki where people could post their 
ideas / submissions and then finalize them with a community vote (PPMC would 
ultimately be responsible for legal clearance and such).

Tweet about it and let folks know its game on.

Speaking only for myself - I don't think you need PPMC permission to
move forward with this idea - I'd of course suggest ensuring a
community consensus, making sure folks are well informed, etc.  but
otherwise, just go get things done. You shouldn't need to get approval
and annointing to start getting things done IMO, especially when
'getting things done' means soliciting ideas on this list.  Obviously
final decisions around identity and trademarks have a legal component
and that would be the responsibility of the PPMC.

Re: .jar modification in Cloudstack

2012-04-24 Thread David Chamard
Thank you,

It was actually related to different versions.. We saw that the 3.0.1
branch on github is actually getting updated still. so we had different
versions.

If you want real 3.0.1 - use the 3.0.1 tag - if you are looking at
what will be 3.0.2, I think that is what 3.0.1 branch is being used
for atm.

Re: [DISCUSS] proposal to select a mascot for Apache CloudStack while in Incubation

2012-04-24 Thread Matt Hogstrom
David is right.  The PPMC is really only there to make sure that Apache's 
interests and obligations are met.  They do not really "Control" the project in 
as much as make sure things that need to be done (like filing reports, dealing 
with trademark, legal issues).  A sign of a healthy community is communicate on 
the list and just do it.  

In this case, your advocating for a logo / mascot ... +1, great idea.  

At this point, the Citrix folks (no offense) really don't have a lot to do with 
it inasmuch as the Apache CloudStack product does.  So, the only process at 
this point is see if anyone has an objection (so far it doesn't sound like it). 
 I'd suggest making a Wiki page where people can post their ideas.  Pick an end 
date, I suggest 30 days, post and wait.

At the end of the 30-days take a community vote and the logo with the most 
votes wins :) 

When Citrix donated to the code to Apache and the community was formed it is 
the community that gets to decide the fate, good or bad, on its own

Tree view refreshing in 3.0.1

2012-04-24 Thread David Chamard
Hi,

We use the "treeview (" the one in the domains section) for our object
store UI  add-on and you absolutely need to close and reopen the "arrow" at
a top of a tree to be able to refresh the list. Is there a reason behind
this and is there a patch planned?

Thanks,

David
