- Get deployers in the community on the same channel, and work together to resolve deployment issues
- All are welcomed, for all OS's Config mgmt systems and idioms.
-
- deploy Essex-4 milestone:
-
- Keystone light switch over (integ into glance, nova, swift & horizon)
- Nova updates, and API extension support
- Quantum, in some basic mode, at a minimum with: + Basic VLAN plugin (no OpenVSwitch) + multi machine deployment
- My team's primary focus would be around using chef cookbooks that can be stand alone or integrated into bigger solution
-
- Packages to use. Options include:
-
- Ubuntu is putting out Precise and Oneric Packages
- RCB is putting out packages for Oneric
- Fedora? Redhat? Others?
- Install from Tarball ? PPA?
The intent of this get together is to have a high bandwidth integration session, aimed at getting as many issues and problems resolved. It is not meant as a tutorial or gentle intro (think 300 level class). To be effective, before the actual day of:
- pick a deployment technology (puppet, Chef, devStack, devStackPY)
- get to know the tweaks required to deploy a multi-node environment using this technology
- pick an area of openstack to focus on, and get familiar with it
- read the code, and the docs
- play with it
- love it
The focus of this effort is on multi-host deployments - so you would need to either:
- have a 3 node (ideally isolated) hardware based setup
- have a virtual environment (VMware, VirtualBox etc) that is capable of running:
- at least 3 nodes, with 1GB memory each
- flexible networking configuration
Below are some pointers and resources that might be useful.
