Re: Juju is still too hard
Juju, The note I got from Nate on Azure is below (after wasting a day trying to get it working...) At OSCON, I worked with Jorge and even he couldn't get my local VM working, but I'm willing to give it a try again. I'd be willing to schedule a meeting (please email me off the list to schedule). But please note, its not just me. I am reflecting the consensus of customers and partners about Juju. And its hard for me to dismiss their concerns given my own experience. - Mike Original Message Subject: Re: Problems with Azure Date: 2014-08-28 11:35 From: Nate Finch Azure is in a bad state today.

Re: Juju is still too hard
I think we need to make sure that we do the best error reporting we can, so if Juju isn't working because of Azure issues, we should find some way to let users know that so that they can try another cloud, contact microsoft, or otherwise find another way forward. --Mark Ramm On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 9:16 AM, Michael Schwartz wrote: > Juju, > > The note I got from Nate on Azure is below (after wasting a day trying to > get it working...) > > At OSCON, I worked with Jorge and even he couldn't get my local VM > working, but I'm willing to give it a try again.

Re: Juju is still too hard
Agreed. There is only one page on Azure, so it would be nice if there was a note that said "Don't waste your time...

I gave a quick writeup over Juju on Digital Ocean
http://blog.dasroot.net/juju-digital-ocean-awesome/ Juju on Digital Ocean, WOW! That's all I have to say. Digital Ocean is one of the fastest cloud hosts around with their SSD backed virtual machines. To top it off their billing is a no-nonsense straight forward model. $5/mo for their lowest end server, with 1TB of included traffic. That's enough to scratch just about any itch you might have with the cloud. Speaking of scratching itches, if you haven't checked out Juju yet, now you have a *prime, low cost cloud provider* to toe the waters. Spinning up droplets with Juju is very straight forward, and offers you a hands on approach to service orchestration thats affordable enough for a weekend hacker to whet their appetite. Not to mention, Juju is currently the #1 project on their API Integration listing! http://goo.gl/m6u781 In about 11 minutes, we will go from zero to deployed infrastructure for a scale-out blog (much like the one you're reading right now). -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
Re: I gave a quick writeup over Juju on Digital Ocean
Nice! Digital Ocean really is super fast my Discourse charm takes 21(!) minutes to deploy on an AWS m1.small and 7 minutes on a DO 2GB droplet, which is 2/3rds the price of the amazon instance. Kapil's digital ocean plugin really makes it all (relatively) seamless, too. I look forward to when we can make a real provider for Digital Ocean, and I can take out that "relatively" part :) On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 11:42 AM, Charles Butler < charles.but...@canonical.com> wrote: > http://blog.dasroot.net/juju-digital-ocean-awesome/ > > Juju on Digital Ocean, WOW!

Re: Juju is still too hard
Michael, I read the title of this email and my heart sank a little. This reminds me that we are still moving forward at break neck speed and what ground we've covered and stepped into the next chapter may not be completely solid for someone without the experiences that I have myself. When you work 3 micrometers from the source, it's easy to overlook the warts. As several have outlined here, feel free to join us in #juju on irc.freenode.net - we are fully staffed during most of the US Timezone's business hours to help. When you say you tried it in a VM, have you looked at our Vagrant Images to get moving quickly? [1] This is where I've pointed most of the new comers to toe the waters. And if this is where you're finding road blocks, I'd love to work with you hand in hand to resolve this troubling experience. The power in juju is not only from getting your services orchestrated, but the community surrounding it that genuinely cares about your experience and helping you find the information to get you unblocked and moving. All the best, Charles [1] https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/howto-vagrant-workflow.html On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 10:08 AM, Michael Schwartz wrote: > > Agreed.

Just a quick note: Basin has seen we were #1 and sent people over to vote, so we're now in a tie for the #1 spot on the DO api integration page.

Re: I gave a quick writeup over Juju on Digital Ocean
andrew has almost finished the work on getting providers by default not using object storage (already quite functional).. The other missing piece is getting DO to install cloud-init into their default ubuntu images, and supporting their variation on ec2 metadata api for retrieving userdata within cloudinit.

It may be still in the ingest-o-tron, pending ~ 20 minutes from posting, but I've just landed 3 new big data bundles for our data scientists out there to consume for our new Hortonworks Hadoop stack. Deploy the base Hadoop Map/Reduce engine: juju quickstart bundle:hdp-hadoop-cluster/5/hdp-hadoop-cluster Deploy Base + Hortonworks Pig for Pig Latin Map Reduce job generation juju quickstart bundle:hdp-hadoop-pig/5/hortonworks-pig-solution Deploy Base + Hive / MySQL for data warehousing and SQL like Map/Reduce job generation juju quickstart bundle:hdp-hadoop-hive-mysql/5/hdp-hadoop-hive-mysql If you deploy these and find any issues or need help getting unblocked from a deployment feel free to join us in #juju on irc.freenode.net and ping @lazypower or @asanjar directly. As always, bugs and feedback are welcome! All the best, Charles -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
Re: Announcing the "ubuntu-mirror" charm
Hi Chris! Awesome work on the charm, I'm not sure I'll ever need to mirror the entire Ubuntu repository, but if I ever did I'm happy there's a charm for it! I do like that it leverages the storage charm and is scaleout safe (safe for bandwidth + wallet too).

Re: Announcing the "ubuntu-mirror" charm
Yes, I realize the use case is pretty narrow :) You can mirror single components as well (just the apt archives, just cloud images, etc...), so maybe you can use it as offline helper as well (juju deploy on the plane?)
