Re: looking for a volunteer who is into public clouds

Hello Sarah This (Azure) seems to be purely a community matter so no need for SUSE. The call with MSFT was a little trigger that sparked a hope that we could finally start to do something on this front :-) Lubos On Mon, May 27, 2024 at 3:53 PM Sarah Julia Kriesch wrote:

Hi Lubos,

some years ago I was inspired by a Global Solution Architect (leading the AWS meetup group in Nuremberg) to bringing the topic openSUSE in AWS forward. The problem is, that there is a partnership required (where the company has to pay for). As it is mentioned correctly in the wiki, the SUSE Cloud Team is responsible for that with the reason that SUSE has been our sponsor and there was no other partnership possible. And a company has got restrictions of published numbers of releases as recommended distributions. We have been listed in AWS as a "community" distribution because of that.

Best regards, Sarah

Just to mention that https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Cloud has also useful information.

Hello openSUSE

There is an amazing opportunity for contribution!

Microsoft recently approached us about their community gallery and whether we'd be interested in it. See e.g. https://fedoramagazine.org/launch-fedora-40-in-microsoft-azure/

Aside from Azure, I suppose other Cloud providers might have something similar.

To wrap it up Leap and SLES, SL-Micro are already handled by our Public Cloud team.

But we are still left with Leap Micro, MicroOS, and Tumbleweed for which the PC team does not have the capacity and would make great candidates e.g. the Azure Community Gallery.

I understand that other cloud providers might have something similar.

As of now, we don't have any openSUSE Public Cloud testing (also not for Leap), nor automation for publishing images outside of the PC team scope. There was a spark of hope that we could have a smoke-testing in the past but we did not manage to finalize it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/106452

I can imagine that some of the work could be automated to cope with TW/MicroOS release cadency :-) Leap Micro PC images would be released once per 6 months.

You see that there is a whole palette of work related to openSUSE in public clouds that's waiting to be picked up :-)

Would there be anybody (ideally a small team of people) interested in covering the remaining work in Public Clouds that's not covered by the SUSE's Public Cloud team? There is plenty of space for realization. We have pretty much 0 to start with.

Thank you very much in advance
