Feature Name OpenNebula

OpenNebula is an Open Source Toolkit for Data Center Virtualization.

Summary

OpenNebula is an open-source cloud computing toolkit for managing heterogeneous distributed data center infrastructures. The OpenNebula toolkit manages a data center's virtual infrastructure to build private, public and hybrid IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) clouds.

Detailed Description

OpenNebula is an Open Source framework for Data Center Virtualization. The project is designed to be scalable and offer compatibility with Amazon EC2 the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI).

It includes a core (oned) which orchestrates the deployment and management of Virtual Machines, and is managed via a CLI, a web service (Sunstone), and language specific bindings (Ruby, Java and Python).

It also features management of Virtual Data Centers.

Benefit to Fedora

Allow Fedora to have an integrable and extensible framework for Data Center Virtualization.

Scope

Get all dependencies into Fedora, and build a single package that provides OpenNebula. Upstream will test it.

How To Test

OpenNebula must be tested in a physical server, not a Virtual Machine, since it requires virtualization extensions to manage Virtual Machines. The physical server must have virtualization capabilites.

A typical OpenNebula installation requires external servers to handle virtualization, but for these purposes the same server can be used as:

OpenNebula frontend: opennebula package + dependencies
OpenNebula node: a hypervisor of choice. Libvirt + KVM recommended.

After installing the software, these tests should be run to validate the package:

Manage a Virtual Machine with the CLI (following these instructions). This implies creating a network, registering a host, an image, etc.
Use the graphical user interface (sunstone) to do the same thing.

User Experience

Fedora users will be provided with a CLI and a web-based GUI to manage VMs.

rubygem-addressable	Improved URI/URL handling	DONE!	maintained
rubygem-idn	Ruby Bindings for the GNU LibIDN library	DONE!	maintained

Contingency Plan

Release Notes

OpenNebula, the open-source cloud computing toolkit, will be available for the first time in Fedora 17.

 == Detailed Description ==
-<!-- Expand on the summary, if appropriate.  A couple sentences suffices to explain the goal, but the more details you can provide the better. -->

+It also features management of Virtual Data Centers.
 == Benefit to Fedora ==
-<!-- What is the benefit to the platform?  If this is a major capability update, what has changed?  If this is a new feature, what capabilities does it bring? Why will Fedora become a better distribution or project because of this feature?-->
+Allow Fedora to have an integrable and extensible framework for Data Center Virtualization.
 == Scope ==
 <!-- What work do the developers have to accomplish to complete the feature in time for release?  Is it a large change affecting many parts of the distribution or is it a very isolated change? What are those changes?-->
+Get all dependencies into Fedora, and build a single package that provides OpenNebula. Upstream will test it.
 == How To Test ==
-<!-- This does not need to be a full-fledged document.  Describe the dimensions of tests that this feature is expected to pass when it is done.  If it needs to be tested with different hardware or software configurations, indicate them.  The more specific you can be, the better the community testing can be.
+OpenNebula must be tested in a physical server, not a Virtual Machine, since it requires virtualization extensions to manage Virtual Machines. The physical server must have virtualization capabilites.
-Remember that you are writing this how to for interested testers to use to check out your feature - documenting what you do for testing is OK, but it's much better to document what *I* can do to test your feature.
+A typical OpenNebula installation requires external servers to handle virtualization, but for these purposes the same server can be used as:
+* OpenNebula frontend: opennebula package + dependencies
+* OpenNebula node: a hypervisor of choice. Libvirt + KVM recommended.
-A good "how to test" should answer these four questions:
+After installing the software, these tests should be run to validate the package:
+* Manage a Virtual Machine with the CLI (following [http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.0:vmg these] instructions). This implies creating a network, registering a host, an image, etc.
+* Use the graphical user interface (sunstone) to do the same thing.
-. What special hardware / data / etc. is needed (if any)?
-. How do I prepare my system to test this feature? What packages
-need to be installed, config files edited, etc.?
-. What specific actions do I perform to check that the feature is
-working like it's supposed to?
-. What are the expected results of those actions?

 == User Experience ==
-<!-- If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result?  Describe what they will see or notice. -->
+Fedora users will be provided with a CLI and a web-based GUI to manage VMs.
 == Dependencies ==
 <!-- What other packages (RPMs) depend on this package?  Are there changes outside the developers' control on which completion of this feature depends?  In other words, completion of another feature owned by someone else and might cause you to not be able to finish on time or that you would need to coordinate?  Other upstream projects like the kernel (if this is not a kernel feature)? -->
