Initial RHEV-M driver fixes
by Michal Fojtik 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, Just some quick fixes, which doesn't test PowerShell scripts. (I trust that they will work ;-). If there is someone with RHEV-M setup, could you please confirm, if this driver is working again ? On Windows you can launch it by getting core repo and then: set API_DRIVER=rhevm ruby server.rb -p 3000 Then navigate to http://localhost:3000/api and click on 'Images' for example. - Michal

GoGrid Driver (revision 4)
by Michal Fojtik 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, Good news, I removed Rightscale gem as an dependency for GoGrid, because gem was pretty outdated and doesn't support API version 1.3, which brings some 'core' features. Also I got an GoGrid account and tested this driver against real API. All things are now working like a charm. This patchsed will be pushed into 'master' after ACK. No 'real' testing is needed, I just want to be sure about code. - Michal

API Patch to return 404 HTTP code when realm, flavor, image or instance not found
by Roman 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hello, The trivial patch below returns status code 404 in case the object is requested by id not found. Currently the latest deltacloud-core returns status code 200 and an empty XML document (when XML is requested), which produces issues on client-side. It would be nice to see this issue resolved in deltacloud. I'm sure you'll find ways to improve the patch, and hope it is useful. Thank you, Roman blog: http://it-result.me/ diff --git a/server/server.rb b/server/server.rb index 67590d0..868a485 100644 --- a/server/server.rb +++ b/server/server.rb @@ -55,6 +55,9 @@ end def show(model) @element = driver.send(model, credentials, { :id => params[:id]} ) instance_variable_set("@#{model}", @element) + if @element.nil? + raise Sinatra::NotFound + end respond_to do |format| format.xml { return convert_to_xml(model, @element) } format.html { haml :"#{model.to_s.pluralize}/show" }

GoGrid driver (release 3)
by Michal Fojtik 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hi, I hopefully fixed GoGrid driver at all. All functionality should be now working. Cucumber tests and gogrid mock driver included. - Michal PS: Cucumber tests will fail in flavors/instances. It's because GoGrid require login to get flavors. Instances are hard to mock, because there is lot of generated stuff which is hard to 'simulate'.

This patch brings the driver installation up-to-date -- using the `rake package` task and `gem install`. Apply it on the previous one that added the table of the supported drivers.

Terremark vCloud Express

Hi, I am about to start work on the Terremark driver. D. Lutter asked me to share some notes on the Terremark vCloud API for future reference. The Terremark vCloud Express API is based on VMWare's vCloud API but imho it is sufficiently different to warrant its own distinct driver (though in the future if we add another vCloud based driver there can certainly be some generalisation): 1. Summary and main entities of the vCloud Express API 2. Some differences between vCloud Express and 'vanilla' VMWare vCloud 3. Provisional mapping of vCloud Express entities to deltacloud concepts. 1. Summary and main entities in vCloud Express: =============================================== * vCloud express API is at: https://community.vcloudexpress.terremark.com/en-us/product_docs/w/wiki/Def… (the generic VMWare vCloud API is at: http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/forums/vcloudapi) * 'Organization' - the top level element and entry point to the API. After HTTP authentication you get the Organization URL returned. Has children 'vDC', 'Catalog' , 'tasks' and any currently running instances ('vApps'). The Organization is less significant in the vCloud Express API than in the VMWare vCloud. * 'vDC' - virtual datacenter. An allocation of virtual resources. In tMark express, each Organization can only have exactly one vDC. Thus for all intents and purposes this is the top level element (i.e. organization is more/less redundant here). * 'Catalog' - contains 'vApp templates' from which vApps can be instantiated. * 'vAPP' - a virtual machine packaged in OVF format. These are instantiated from a 'vAPP template' * 'Network' - an assignment of private IP addresses given to each vdc (60 by default) * 'Internet Service' and 'Public IP' - these two entities provide 'outward facing' networking. Public IP is self explanatory (a publicly routeable address) and Internet Service is about configuring ports+protocols for specific services. So can configure a vAPP to host a web server by associating the vAPP with Internet Service port 80 HTTP. The Internet Service is then associated with exactly one public IP. * 'Compute options' - combinations of memory and number of cpus with which to configure vApps. Also 'customization options' define whether network and password can be configured for a vapp. 2. Some differences between vCloud Express and 'vanilla' VMWare vCloud ====================================================================== * 'Organization' entity is less important in vCloud Express. No distinction between hard/soft walled Organizations. Furthermore as there is only 1 vDC/Organization in vCloud Express the vDC is essentially the top level element. The 'Get Organization' call gives different results in vCloud Express than in vanilla. * In vcloud express the vDC has as child elements 'Catalog', 'Internet service' and 'public ip'. In vanilla vcloud, 'Internet Service' and 'Public IP' dont exist, 'Catalog' is child of 'Organization'. * 'Compute' and 'customization options' only exist in vCloud-Express... * In vanilla vCloud the catalog contains references to all entities of the organization, like vapp templates but also iso images and installable software. However in the vcloud-Xpress the catalog exclusively holds the vAPP templates and nothing else. * vCloud-Xpress does not have a network entity at the 'Organization' level... instead have 'Internet service' and 'Public IP' (ports, and IP address respectively) with which you configure all vApps (which get private addresses). The 'network' entity IS available in vCloud-X but as a child of the vDC (i.e. you get it when you GET vDC) 3. Provisional mapping of vCloud Express entities to d-cloud concepts ===================================================================== 'Instance' <==> 'vAPP' 'Image' <==> 'vAPP template' 'Flavor' <==> 'compute options' (and perhaps 'customization options') 'Realm' <==> 'Organization' OR 'Realm' <==> 'vDC' (probably the latter) --marios
