Nevertheless it requires a lot of manual configuration work to setup an entire cloud. The goal of this hackweek project is to autoconfigure as much as possible (avahi/zeroconf) and maybe provide a simple configuration tool to prompt for the remaining information and set it up. If time permits we try to provide SUSE Studio images for all Eucalyptus controllers. Discussion: #1: Robert Schweikert (rjschwei) (2011-01-19 15:06:08) Work for automation is underway. * Jiri Suchomel is working on a YaST module, I am testing and reporting back to Jiri. * I have a couple of python scripts that take care of auto registration of Cloud nodes (not yet in the Virtualization:Cloud project) Problems with automation: * The biggest current problem is that Eucalyptus does not get along with openSSL 1.0 (or openSSL 0.9.8h as found in SLES). This causes the command line tools for registration of nodes etc. to fail. Registration of nodes etc. currently only works through the browser, which unfortunately makes this a manual process. I am working with the Eucalyptus folks to address the issue regarding openSSL 1.0 * A second issue is the use of DHCP. Although I figured out how to add an identification feature to the dhcp server running on the head node, I have not figured out how to enforce that the client, i.e. cloud node, only accepts an offer from the head node. This is a problem that needs resolution, thus if a DHCP expert can explain how this works as part of this hackweek project big progress would be made.
