Current Status (definitions: Crowbar-tree-branch-structure)

Releases & Sprints (reverse chronological order)

v2.0 [CONCEPTUAL PHASE]

  • include heterogeneous OS (OS can be different than Crowbar admin),
  • architecture changes to support external entity/managed nodes (required for switch, SAN, blade chassis).
  • Barclamp Wish List

v1.4 [Release Candidate PHASE] OpenStack Essex & Cloudera v4

v1.3 [RELEASE CANDIDATE]: Cloudera 3.7 & Crowbar Expansions

  • updating core OS (Ubuntu 12.4 & 11.x, CentOS/RHEL 6.x)
  • update discovery image to Centos6.2 (aka Sledgehammer)
  • architecture design to support external entity/managed nodes (required for switch, SAN, blade chassis).
  • upgrade & patching
  • Focus on Cloudera Hadoop Integration (barclamp-cloudera is an alternative approach to the Hadoop barclamps)
  • Ability to connect Crowbar admin server to external networks
  • Network Visualization views
  • Barclamp Import (beginning steps for upgrades)

Note: in 1.3 we are laying the foundations for gated check-ins using the dev tool scripts (dev.sh). We are doing internal testing on the tool now but you can review the code. In the next sprints, we will publish tips to install and build using the new dev tool process. Consequently, you will see members of the Dell Crowbar team submitting pull requests rather than simply pushing code directly to trunk.
