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. + Robert -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311066
