Cloud Broker tool for VCL

Hello, I have created a new issue under the VCL project for developing a cloud broker tool for VCL. This goal of this tool is to enable VCL users to specify their requirements via policies. For instance, they can specify their security needs, their software needs etc. using a web interface. The

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL

Karuna, I think this is a great idea. I wonder if the idea should be broadened a bit though. Right now, the only thing that distinguishes one image from another is the name. We should provide some kind of mechanism in which the user can query and receive suggestions as to which image should be

[DISCUSS] Graduation

This thread is to discuss whether the Apache VCL community feels that this incubating project is ready to proceed with the process to graduate to a top level ASF project. There are several requirements which must be met and steps completed in order to graduate. This discussion thread is the

Re: VCL running on Dell Hardware

Hi Arbin, I don't believe VCL is hardware specific, unless you need bare-metal provisioning (xCAT). Any hardware which is capable of running ESXi will work for VCL. With older hardware you may see some performance issues, but as a test-bed it will work fine. Thanks. -- Dmitri Chebotarov

VCL 2.2.3

Hi Is it possible to checkout VCL 2.2.3 code? What is the SVN/GIT address? I'm getting test servers ready for VCL 2.2.3. Also looking for long-term server reservations options and been reading that VCL 2.2.3 provides support for this. Are there any docs/drafts on the install procedure and

RE: VCL 2.2.3

I also would like to try out 2.2.3. This would be perfect for NCCU's test bed. Arbin Darren Sanders   IT Manager – Academic Computing North Carolina Central University 712 Cecil Street Suite 3014 Durham, NC 27707 919.530.6307 919.530.5097 (Fax) For the Latest ITS Updates and Tips Join Us Online  

Re: VCL running on Dell Hardware

Arbin, My development platform is a Dell Optiplex 760 desktop. So it is likely that the servers you have will work. As Dmitri said, a greater limitation is that ESX needs to run on it. I am working on a server currently that does not have a supported RAID card and hence ESX will not run on it.

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL

Hello Mark, I agree with the goal that you have articulated. The scope of the tool will be to query across the various image attributes (like software installed, OS supported, provider, security policies etc.) and then provide the user with the best option(s) that s/he can select from. I am

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL

This will be a nice addition. I think another image inventory issue I created may complement this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-561 Very little work has been done on this so far but the intention of the first stage is to retrieve some basic details about images such as installed

Re: Cloud Broker tool for VCL

Hi Andy, Yes, the image inventory feature will be very useful to the broker tool. I would like to request adding some more information with this inventory list - like security/access, data encryption/deletion, compliance policies etc. regards, Karuna On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 2:12 PM, Andy Kurth
