[gentoo-dev] Openstack image availability

[gentoo-dev] Openstack image availability

[Matthew Thode]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 949 bytes --]

Hi,

I've just started generation of Gentoo Openstack images.  Right now it
is just a basic amd64 image, but I plan on adding nomultilib and
hardened variants (for a total of at least 4 images).  I plan on
generating these images at least weekly.

These images are not yet sanctioned by our infra team, but I plan on
remedying that (being a member of said team should help).

I am currently using the scripts at
https://github.com/prometheanfire/gentoo-cloud-prep to generate the
images (based on a heavily modified version of Matt Vandermeulen's
scripts).  If you have any issues please submit bugs there or contact me
on irc (prometheanfire on freenode).

Here's the link to the images, I'm currently gpg signing them with the
same key I use to sign this email (offline master key smartcard setup
for security minded folk).

http://23.253.251.73/

Let me know if you have questions,

This is an image to deploy on top of Openstack.  While you can deploy
Openstack on the image, it isn't made for that purpose.

Something like this is needed to import it into glance.

glance image-create --name gentoo-20150608 --disk-format qcow2
--container-format bare --is-public True --min-disk 5 --min-ram 512
--file gentoo-amd64-multilib_2015-06-08.qcow2 --progress

I thought I would point out a few things

1) Did you happen to see this guys step by step instructions for creating a
cloud image:
http://terrarum.net/blog/creating-a-gentoo-cloud-image.html

I basically followed these instructions a year or so ago, and with a few
tweaks was able to get Gentoo running on OpenStack.

2) I have extensive knowledge of OpenStack, it's been my profession for the
past 2 years, so if you need any assistance, let me know.

There are automated platforms such as Fuel by Mirantis that can help people
deploy OpenStack on a virtual environment in case anyone wanted to try it
out.  Also DevStack is another common platform people use to test with.

Just throwing my 2 cents into the conversation

OK, So to test the images, just burn a dvd/usbstick and run it like a 
liveDVD? I did not see instructions or brief guidance; I'm noob with 
openstack but curious to see how she performs......


Long term, will we get an openstack-meta (testing) out of this in 
portage, or should I just dedicated an old dual core amd64 box for image 
testing?

I'm  building up (from 100%  sources) a mesos cluster offering
with cephfs, Apache-spark, Apache-storm and tachyon. It'd be great to
run some tests of codes on openstack (running on local hardware) and 
then test the same hardware running Apache-mesos. So any suggestions you 
have on that (so the comparisons are as similar as possible, including 
recommended test codes) would be of keen interest to me.

Thanks,

I did have that link as one of the items in a list of reference
material.  The reason I went the way I did is so I could integrate into
our (Gentoo infra's) image building process.

Also, thanks for the offer to help, we are in the #gentoo-openstack
channel on freenode.  I've been working the last few years on openstack
(including the ebuild maintence for it in gentoo) at Rackspace :P.

I generally recommend people use the openstack-meta-2015.0.9999 package
right now, as it deploys from stable/kilo.
