Local Test Cloud

Summary

testCloud is a small tool to download and boot cloud images locally.

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 22
  • Last updated: (2014-01-20)
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

testCloud was created because manually booting a cloud image locally can be a pain. It handles downloading the image, spoofing cloud-init metadata as well as provides an ssh_config to easily connect to the booted instance. What was usually several different tasks to get an image to boot locally is now just:

 python testCloud.py <url for qcow2 image>

It currently supports both the Fedora Cloud Base as well as the Atomic host image.

testCloud will likely change names in the near future.

Benefit to Fedora

Having an easy means to download and try the Fedora cloud images makes for easier testing and allows people without access to a cloud provider to check out the Fedora Cloud product. This allows for greater testing of our cloud images and easier means for people to learn about working in the cloud.
