Hi Bruno! Thanks for letting us know about this, I think there's some places here where Ubuntu Server can help you out, I'm also CCing in the juju mailing list:

Mark Mims is in the process of finishing off the django charm. It's here right now: https://code.launchpad.net/~mark-mims/charms/precise/summit/trunk And is currently misnamed as "summit" since it started off as something for summit.ubuntu.com but has transformed itself, but eventually this will probably become the "django charm". We have charms for Postgres and Jenkins already, so it looks like we have most of you covered other than JIRA and Sentry. JIRA looks like it would be a straightforward charm, starting by following this: http://goo.gl/HnnkO And there appears to be plenty of Sentry software that could use a charm, depending on what you use. > My first question is: where do I start?

The juju openstack provider is finished now and we know it works. Whether you can just magically plop in any Openstack provider from that list into environments.yaml and have it magically start working is something I'd be hesitant to say would "Just Work". Though I think it'd be useful to try some of them out and figure out how well it does work. One thing I've discovered is that each OpenStack provider might be running on a different version of OpenStack than another one, or they might turn on some things that other providers don't, and so on. Since Juju can use multiple providers you can also prototype on AWS or HP Cloud while you contemplate which OpenStack provider to use (HP Cloud is Openstack-based), the choice is up to you. So it sounds to me like really the only thing you'd need to work out would be charming JIRA and the Sentry bits, I would certainly _love_ to have you banging on the Django, Postgres, and Jenkins charms; you're the target audience for these charms so we need you tell us which bits you need, which parts need fixing, and so on. -- Ubuntu-cloud mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cloud
