[GitHub] cloudstack pull request: Remove AWS api bridge

GitHub user pyr opened a pull request:

    https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/44

    Remove AWS api bridge

    This has been a discussion point for a while. The (mostly generated)
    code for the AWS api bridge is by far the largest source component in
    Cloudstack, while seldomly used.
    
    Now that alternate options exist to provide EC2 compatibility, it
    makes sense to remove it for the few users who cannot directly
    talk to the cloudstack API.

You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:

    $ git pull https://github.com/pyr/cloudstack feature/no-dead-code

Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at:

    https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/44.patch

To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch
with (at least) the following in the commit message:

    This closes #44

    I just committed this to a new noawsapi branch:
    https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cloudstack.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/noawsapi
    
    we should fix the rpm build on that branch, test upgrades etc…
    
    If folks agree we can merge it in master for 4.6

    This is green on travis, so let's discuss on the list. I am asking asf infra to create a cloudstack-awsapi repo.
    One alternative is https://github.com/BroganD1993/ec2stack/commits/master but it will need more work.

Hi all,

I was involved in the development of ec2stack and gstack. I'm completely
fine with both projects being donated.

Hi Chip,

Bringing Darren and Sebastien into this since they wrote some of it to.

I'm totally OK with it being donated.

Re: [GitHub] cloudstack pull request: Remove AWS api bridge

Posted by Chip Childers <ch...@apache.org>.
Additional point - IMO, if we do this we would manage both ec2bridge
and the GCE code as separate repos (just like how docs and cloudmonkey
are), so that they can be released independently. We'd also want to
package them with DEB and RPM so that they can be easily installed
alongside or on their own very easily.

Re: [GitHub] cloudstack pull request: Remove AWS api bridge

Posted by Chip Childers <ch...@apache.org>.
Ian,

Since that code was developed outside of the project, would you and
your compatriots be willing to donate it to the project officially?

(Actually, same request for the GCE interface work)

IMO, I'd love this for a couple of reasons:

1) it's newer code, and likely works better
2) we should consider AWS (or GCE) API support to be non-core to the
project, but it's important to have that functionality available for
those that want it
3) if it's in the project officially, we can try build a community
around maintaining it beyond current maintainers
4) (and this is a general thought that I haven't fully formed) - we
need to find ways to focus on solidifying the "core" of CloudStack so
that it's rock solid and exceptionally fast to get started with
(faster than we are today). Features that are outside of the core
should be add-ons to the core (like AWS API support)

My 2 cents..

Re: [GitHub] cloudstack pull request: Remove AWS api bridge

Posted by Pierre-Yves Ritschard <py...@spootnik.org>.
It would be interesting to have usage stats on the AWS cloud bridge.
It is very hard to get working right correctly (especially when compared to
something like ec2stack) so I'd be very surprised if:

- There were a large number of users
- They had upgrade path issues

I think the idea of chunking out awsapi in its own repo has some merit,
even though it will most likely ending up being bitrot.

As far as packaging is concerned, this PR still builds packages correctly
for debian, someone should do a test build for RPM packages (i did the spec
changes but didn't build).

+1 on ec2stack working well (bias view).

I've used it via vagrant-aws, boto and eucalyptus eutester without issue.

It could use some documentation on deployment for production purposes, the
embedded webserver it exposes is OK but I'd feel safer with it bring behind
nginx/Apache.

Re: [GitHub] cloudstack pull request: Remove AWS api bridge

Posted by Hugo Trippaers <hu...@trippaers.nl>.
Let’s start by getting this on a feature branch.

I would like to make sure that everything works before we remove the code and that includes deb and rpm packaging. We also need to think about the upgrade path. If a user is currently using awsapi, he needs an upgrade path the start using the replacement.

Cheers,

Hugo

EC2 compatibility is an essential feature for potential ACS adopters. 
What alternatives are there for the AWSAPI component?
