@Chris: pursue a report for Deltacloud
Apache Deltacloud defines a web service API for interacting with cloud service providers and resources in those clouds in a unified manner. In addition, it consists of a number of implementations of this API for the most popular clouds. It also provides an implementation of DMTF CIMI, and tools around that API to help make it more easily consumable. -- Releases/Development -- 1.1.4 - in progress 1.1.3 - 2013-04-22 1.1.2 - 2013-03-13 1.1.1 - 2013-02-13 1.1.0 - 2013-01-15 -- Overall activity in the past quarter -- Thanks very much to Chris Mattmann and Brett Porter for reaching out on behalf of the board. So the reality of the situation is that none of the current PMCs or committers have cycles to dedicate to Deltacloud. Given this I believe the best course of action is to move Apache Deltacloud to the attic. I have started a voting thread to this effect on the deltacloud private list which closes on Wednesday 11 March 2015 @ 1200 CET. [1] -- Last committers and PMC members elected -- Change of PMC chair 29 May 2013 (Marios S. Andreou takes over from David Lutterkort) Tomas Sedovic (August 2012) and Dies Koper (December 2012) voted in as committers. Dies Koper was voted into the Deltacloud PMC in July 2013. [1] Hey folks: so I think it is pretty obvious that none of us have the cycles to look this way any more. The board is asking about the progress of the project since (unsurprisingly) the last few board reports have reported no progress. At this point I am heavy-heartedly proposing that we retire the project to the Apache Attic [1] and simultaneously dissolve this PMC. Vote: Move Apache Deltacloud to the Apache Attic [1] (where 'move' means putting into motion the process @ [2]) *and* Dissolve the Apache Deltacloud PMC, Vote closes Wednesday 11th March 2015 @ 1200 CET. Thanks everyone for your guidance, efforts and contributions to Deltacloud. all the best, marios [1] https://attic.apache.org/ [2] https://attic.apache.org/process.html
@Rich: could the PMC use some help from comdev to attract new blood?

-- Issues for the board's consideration --
The Apache Deltacloud project has until recently been heavily sponsored by
Red Hat, in the form of full time engineers including travel budget and
a streamlined monthly testing and release cycle. Red Hat announced that
this support is being drastically reduced [1] so this is an interesting
period for the project. Furthermore, the project has recently elected a new
PMC chair as David Lutterkort was unable to continue in this position due
to other commitments.
It has been encouraging to see the continued interest with a daily trickle
of activity on the mailing list, irc channel and JIRA since the Red Hat
announcement. The biggest and most immediate impact is the change to the
release cycle - the monthly release cycle is currently unsustainable.
The next release date has not yet been determined though as PMC chair it
is my aim to encourage a release towards the end of the summer or early in Q4 2013.

Resolution 7C was approved by unanimous roll call vote.
(Incubating since July 2010) Deltacloud is a cross cloud abstraction API that allows management of resources (compute and storage) across different IaaS cloud computing providers using a single, open API. At present Deltacloud supports management of Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Gogrid, Rimuhosting, Terremark, RHEV-M, vSphere, IBM SBC, Eucalyptus, Opennebula compute resources, as well as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Eucalyptus and Rackspace Cloudfiles storage resources. The last three months have been characterized by ceaseless work towards our 0.4.0 release, which has now been posted as a release candidate. We also voted three new committers in during that time. We are in the process of preparing for graduation to a TLP under the Board; hopefully, a resolution will be posted before the August Board meeting. Improvements/Fixes/Additions included in upcoming 0.4.0 release (and since the last report) include: Server: * deltacloudd: new option --drivers to list all drivers * deltacloudd: new options --ssl, --ssl-key and --ssl-cert to enable HTTPS support * API entrypoint reports features in JSON * unify response behavior: any operation returning a 201 Created also sets the Location header to point to the new resource; ensure the status for an operation is the same regardless of output format * Add type to public addresses; type can be one of 'ipv4', 'mac', 'vnc', and 'hostname' * Complete overhaul of the HTML UI, now uses jquery-mobile * Response status for attach/detach storage is now 202 (instead of 302) * Response status for get/set blob metadata is 204 No Content * Response status for (un)register with load balancer is 204 No Content * The user_name feature now reports the permissible length of the name as the 'max_length' constraint * Add Date header to responses as per RFC 2616 * New collection 'firewalls' for managing sets of firewalling rules * split server/config/drivers.yaml into individual files so each driver can be packaged separately; gives deployers better choice of what drivers they want enabled * Numerous bug fixes and improvements to the test suite * Drivers + Condor - new driver to run a simple cloud based on the Condor grid scheduler + EC2 - Fix bug in reboot instance so that the details returned are those of the stopped instance, not some random instance - Support getting and updating blob metadata - support destroying images - support firewalls (security groups) - do not support user_name anymore; instance tagging is too fragile in EC2 to be used reliably for this - do not support registering an instance with a load balancer upon creation anymore - stream blob PUT to backend (requires thin) - support attaching EBS snapshot to instance upon creation (feature 'attach_snapshot') - support elastic IP's + Eucalyptus - support firewalls (security groups) - support elastic IP's + Gogrid - when retrieving single realm, make sure we return the right one - correctly capture load_balancer params - report a listener if load_balancer has no instances + Mock - support destroying images + Rackspace - support destroying images - stream blob PUT to backend (requires thin) + RHEV-M - support creating and destroying images - report VNC address of instances - can use Audrey's confserver to fetch IP of an instance + vSphere - turns a VMWare vSphere installation into a cloud - driver stateless, state is stored in vSphere's data store in 'deltacloud' folder - images are template VM's - single HWP, whose max_cpu and max_memory are based on available cpus and memory across all vSphere hosts - support data injection via user_data and user_iso (upload entire ISO image) For both, instance gets virtual CD-ROM with injected data Client: * make authentication info for instances available * retrieve type and address for public addresses of an instance * deltacloudc: allow specifying bucket location when creating a bucket Site: * Major rewrite of REST API docs, covers the entire API now * Add libdeltacloud API docs

Deltacloud is a cross cloud abstraction API that allows management of
resources (compute and storage) across different IaaS cloud computing
providers using a single, open API. At present Deltacloud supports
management of Amazon EC2, Rackspace, Gogrid, Rimuhosting, Terremark,
RHEV-M, Opennebula compute resources, as well as Amazon S3, Microsoft
Azure and Rackspace Cloudfiles storage resources.
Recent Activity:
Release 0.2.0 is imminent and includes:
* Dynamically select driver through the X-Deltacloud-Driver HTTP header;
allow passing in driver-specific endpoint with the
X-Deltacloud-Provider header
* New 'load_balancers' collection, supported for EC2 and GoGrid
* Allow creation/deletion of blobs (S3, CloudFiles, Azure)
* Return HTTP status 405 when trying to perform an action on a instance
that is not available
* Drivers
+ EC2
- security_group and public_ip features for instance creation
- switched to aws gem
+ GoGrid: now have two hardware profiles
+ RHEV-M: completely rewritten; now uses RHEV-M REST API, not Powershell
+ Mock:
- support 'keys' collection
- switch to storage-only driver by setting provider to 'storage'
Next Steps:
Aiming for a mid March release of 0.3.0 - main issues addressed will
be creation of images from uploaded bits (in cloud storage),
firewalling and improved support for blob streaming.
Deltacloud defines a web service API for interacting with cloud service providers and resources in those clouds in a unified manner. In addition, it consists of a number of implementations of this API for the most popular clouds. Infrastructure: * Hudson configured to trigger build after commit (https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/job/apache-deltacloud-core/) Latest activity: * Deltacloud API was proclaimed as stable and version 0.1.0 was released * A new EC2 driver for Deltacloud API (in review process) * Client improved to be more stable * Deltacloud API is now Ruby 1.9 compatible Current issues: * Support for buckets (streaming)
Deltacloud is a cross-cloud RESTful abstraction API. The are currently no issues requiring board attention. Recent activity: * Grant of initial code finalized: code relicensed under ASL2.0, iCLA's of all contributor's on file, cCLA from Red Hat for initial submission also on file, code imported to subversion * First draft of an API specification sent to developer's list * Initial content for project website in svn; need to clear up some technical hurdles to make it live * Added support for executing commands and copying files into cloud instances * Work on adding blob storage to API under way * Work on publishing reports from a private Hudson instance to a public site (since it seems we can't get access to Apache's Hudson) * Numerous bug fixes and smaller enhancements Next steps: * Continue work on API additions * Finalize initial API (including the spec) * Prepare for an initial release with a stable API Top 2/3 Issues before graduation: * Make an Apache release * Make a diverse community of active committers * Improve our website with tutorials and "getting started" content.
Deltacloud defines a web service API for interacting with cloud service providers and resources in those clouds in a unified manner. In addition, it consists of a number of implementations of this API for the most popular clouds. Deltacloud entered the incubator in 2010-05-17. - Project basically setup (info for 3 people still being worked to get ICLA correctly listed) - Code has been imported. - Working to get Code Grant on file - Project active, commits and mail list discussions have started. - The website has not been setup yet. = Empire-db = Empire-db is a relational data persistence component that aims to overcome the difficulties, pitfalls and restrictions inherent in traditional Object Relational Management (ORM) approaches. Empire-db is on the Apache Incubator since July 2008. Issues to address in the move towards graduation: We are still aware of the fact that we need to do more advertising of Empire-db on major development forums like e.g. http://TheServerSide.com in order to raise attention for the project. Community development since the last report The community has remained stable and several users questions have been answered on the user list. We still receive positive feedback from users but had no contributions from new users in the past quarter. Project development since the last report After having received approval from the incubator PMC we have published our 2.0.6 release and updated our website accordingly. There are plans for improvements and open issues on our list but all committers were too busy to make significant contributions in the past quarter. We hope that we can deliver improvements to the projects in the upcoming quarter.
