creation of ec2-user (and sudo config) is done in new version of cloud-init
F18 has version 0.7 of cloud-init which creates the ec2-user (and can use a different name given at boot time).

ec2 xen performance issue workaround (still needed, and on x86_64?)
by Matthew Miller
Our EC2 kickstarts include a workaround for this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651861
A. It looks like it's incorrect or at least not needed for x86_64 guests
(but we have it in our kickstart files for x86_64), so I'm going to
remove it. Anyone know otherwise?
B. The last few comments on that bug imply that it will eventually be
unnecessary as Amazon migrates away from older Xen system with a
particular bug. Has, maybe, that happened, two years later?

Thing 1: what do we mean when we say cloud?
by Matthew Miller
There was some great discussion on this when the list was first launched,
but at the time, I don't think the answer was clear, and the group went on
with the practical tasks of actually making things work. That's a decent,
functional response, but as we embark on a bigger strategic plan, we need a
more clear definition of our scope. (Then we can start talking about desired
outcomes within that scope, various stakeholders, and so on.)
The embryonic Fedora Cloud Guide¹ says
Pardon the pun, but "the cloud" is a nebulous term. When well-meaning
people talk about cloud computing, they are often talking about one of
many difference scenarios.
I've put a little jar by my desk, and I'm putting quarters into it every
time I say "nebulous", or "hazy", or anything like that. Clearly, "Cloud" is
a marketing term *and* a business buzzword, neither of which lend themselves
to clarity. But it's also a *very real* change in the computing landscape,
and Fedora should take a leadership position in that transition and in the
new tech world. Using a clear framework for our scope will help us through
the fog. (*Plink* — there goes 25¢)
Our Cloud Guide goes on to list Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a
Service, and Software as a Service. That's an important lens, but it's also
jumping ahead a bit. The National Institute of Standards and Technology
recently published an official definition², and while "government-committee
definition" may light up some alarms, this is actually straightforward and
fuctional. Once you get past the preamble, there's really only two pages to
it.
I like this definition because while it's still broad, it focuses on
essential characteristics which distinguish cloud computing from datacenter
virtualization in general and from "it's on the Internet!"
If I haven't lost you already, I encourage you to read the definition.
Really, it's short. But if you're hanging on by an attention-span thread,
the essentials are:
- On demand self-service.
- Broad network access.
- Resource pooling.
- Rapid elasticity.
- Measured service.
And then it goes on with service models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS) and deployment
models (private, community, public, hybrid).
I suggest that Fedora adopt this as our definition, and as the basis for the
scope of this SIG. I think this is uncontroversial, but I would like to hear
your feedback.
Of particular note, work here so far has focused on two primary areas:
"JEOS" images³ for Amazon EC2 (and elsewhere), and on software stacks for
deploying cloud infrastructure (Eucalyptus, OpenStack) as a cloud provider.
This has been great so far, but I also want to open up the SIG to some
broader areas as well — those use areas and constituent groups being the
topic of future discussion.

irc meeting is tomorrow (afternoon europe / morning usa)
by Matthew Miller
Possibly due to my putting it in the meeting schedule on the wrong day, or
possibly just due to first week with the new time, hijinks totally failed to
ensuelast week. Let's fix that this time around. :)
Times:
UTC/GMT 2PM (14:00)
Eastern Daylight: 10AM
Pacific Daylight: 7AM
Central European: 4PM
This is in #fedora-meeting-1.
For people for whom these times are not convenient, we will have an informal
meeting in #fedora-cloud *today* at 20:00 GMT, and I'll also be in the
channel tomorrow at the same time for followup.
Anyone have any particular agenda items? Things I'm aware of: F18 feature
freeze, getting cloud images on mirrors.

Packaging Tox for OPenstack unit tests
by Adam Young
It seems like the use of nose is diverging from what the CI team is
doing. According to Monty Taylor:
<mordred> ayoung: the CI system uses tox and does not use run_tests or
with_venv for anything - this has been the case for almost a year now
<mordred> ayoung: we've been doing our best to remove chunks of code
like run_tests.py that are just copied amongst all of the projects and
all of the branches of the projects
Currently, the Keystone unit test code is broken due to running:
tools/with_venv.sh nosetests
Failure: ImportError (No module named keystone.common) ... ERROR
And, while we will deal with this straight away, it looks like the
correct longish solution is to use Tox instead of nosetests.
Any plans to package this? Should we push to make Tox part of the core
Fedora distro, or is there some argument against?

CloudStack Collaboration Conference
by Joe Brockmeier
Hi all,
Just wanted to give a heads up for folks who might be interested in the
CloudStack Collaboration Conference at the end of November. We're
hosting it at The Venetian from November 30 to December 2. We'd be
interested in any talks that might be related to CloudStack - this would
include KVM, Gluster, etc.
The CFP is here:
http://collab12.cloudstack.org/proposals/
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks!
Joe

I don't have a particular agenda this week, for which I apologize. I'll make
sure to build one in advance in the future.

rescheduling the cloud sig meeting
by Matthew Miller
Robyn mentioned to me that the cloud sig meeting isn't at a very convenient
time for many people. I'm not a big fan of Friday afternoon meetings,
myself, and for the EU people giving up Friday night can't be the most
pleasant.
Since I'm going to be relieving Robyn of the illustrious duty of
facilitating the meeting, I thought this'd be a good time to figure out
a time that might work better.
I threw up <http://whenisgood.net/fedoracloudmeeting> to help figure out a
good time -- if you could take a few seconds to go there and send the times
that generally work for you, hopefully we can figure out something better.
Thanks!
