Greetings. I thought I would give a quick status update on our private cloud work (which skvidal has been doing. Thanks skvidal! ) Our hardware in all in and working. Our network is up and working. We have a test instance of eucalyptus up and running with a pair of machines. Short term: I'd like to test out Openstack on another 3 nodes or so. It's come a ways since we evaluated it last. We need to test more with the admin/command line tools. We need to figure out how we want to setup groups/users/etc. We need to repave everything and re-install it in a controlled and documented manner. Outstanding questions: Policy: I figured we would start out with a small group of folks with access and expand based on feedback and capacity. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_private_cloud has some use cases we thought of. Questions I would love feedback on: What expectation do we want on reboots? They can go down at any time, or 'we will try and let you know if we want to reboot things' or we plan on doing a maint window every X and your instances WILL be rebooted? What timeframe should we tell people they can use instances? Do we want to kill them after some specific time? Note that if we want to use this for dev instances, we may want to at least snapshot before taking down. What sort of policy do we want on "Fedora relatedness" for instances? I don't think we want to offer general instances for people, but how to explain the line? Do we want to specifically forbid any uses? What ports do we want to allow folks to use? Anything? 80/443/22 only? How about persistent data storage? We promise to keep data for X timeframe? We make no promises? We keep as long as we have storage available? I think we should have a very broad 'catch all' at the end of the policy allowing us to refuse service to anyone for any reason, allowing us to shutdown instances that cause problems. Or should we word that more narrowly? How often do we want to update images? Say we have a Fedora 17 image for folks, would we want to update it daily with updates? weekly? Just when we feel like it? When security bugs affect ssh ? When security issues affect the kernel? Any other policy related questions folks can think of? kevin
