Hi, I'm developing a project which must be able to create, start and stop instances in some of the most common IaaS providers out there (EC2, Rackspace, ...). The initial idea was to work with OpenNebula as integrating platform, and to use DeltaCloud for facilitating the interaction with the various providers. Currently, I'm looking at the documentation to integrate both, and it's kind of confusing.
On one side there is the DeltaCloud adaptor: http://dev.opennebula.org/projects/deltacloud-adaptor/wiki which, if I'm not mistaken, offers support only for OpenNebula 1.4. In such adaptor OpenNebula uses DeltaCloud as a host, which is added to its list of hosts. I cannot find any further documentation beyond that point, but it seems quite deprecated to me. On the other side there is a wiki page: http://wiki.opennebula.org/deltacloud explaining how to interact OpenNebula 3.x with DeltaCloud. Such tutorial does not use the adaptor, and instead explains how to define OpenNebula as an interface of DeltaCloud. I guess this means DeltaCloud is used to control OpenNebula, which feels weird from my understanding of each software's capabilities. I'm not quite sure of the differences between both approaches, what are their capabilities and how each of them works in detail (documentation is quite short). I assume the second solution is the recommended one, since it has recent support, but I still don't understand its interaction protocol. Thanks in advance, Dario. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
