Goggle Summer of Code 2021
Hi all
It would be great if the CloudStack project were able to get a few Google Summer of Code [1] students this year to work on projects within our community. We've had a number of previous GSoC students (examples at [2] ), who have worked on innovative features/ projects within cloudstack and have then gone on to become significant contributors to Cloudstack .
In order to be able to attract students to work on Cloudstack, we need 2 things:
1. A number of candidate projects for students to work on. Students browse all GSoC the candidate projects and choose one that interests them- effectively every organisation is competing for the students interest. These projects therefore need to be reasonably interesting looking projects to attract potential students. The students spend approximately 9 weeks coding, so the projects need to be appropriately scaled
2. Somebody prepared to mentor the student throughout the duration of the project (usually the person who suggests the project)
The student application period starts 29 March [3]
The ASF has registered itself as a mentor organisation with Google , allowing individual Apache projects to list candidate projects for students to work on. A wiki page [4] has been created at the ASF level to allow ASF projects to list their ideas for students
I'm happy to coordinate this from a Cloudstack perspective.
If others are happy with this approach, then I ask for two things at this stage:
1. Could people suggest appropriate projects. This could be a piece of integration that you've always considered and not got around to or could be an improvement that you've always wanted to do. If people can reply to this thread with ANY ideas, it would be a good start (irrespective of whether you wish to be a mentor or not)
2. At the same time, could people say whether they'd be prepared to be a student mentor or not

Maybe I am wrong but I think it’s a better way and make it more easier to use the storage interface in Kubernetes but make it configurable over CS. I don’t see the pro to integrate this over CS because it needs many maintenance over the time if we know that things can change.
I think a better way is to make the master and worker images more configurable so that different storage plugins can use the CSI interface from Kubernetes. If that do everyone can build his own image and make the Kubernetes rollout over it.

Hi Wei,

if i not wrong CSI and CNI is already integrated in kubernetes.
To make it configurable about CS would be great idea.

Hi Alireza,
Good. As I understand, it is also block storage like Amazon EBS.

Yes!
Right now I have created a kubernetes cluster in Hetzner cloud and tested
its CSI driver. As I expected, it works by attaching and detaching volumes
from VM to VM. The volume follows where the pod is scheduled.
I can give you access to evaluate it if you like.

Yes!
Right now I have created a kubernetes cluster in Hetzner cloud and tested
its CSI driver. As I expected, it works by attaching and detaching volumes
from VM to VM. The volume follows where the pod is scheduled.

Hi Wei
I had a search among different CSI drivers and their corresponding cloud
providers API, I can say that your opinion is not right!
For example in Hetzner cloud CSI driver you can see the
"ControllerPublishVolume" function calls "s.volumeService.Attach" that
tells Hetzner cloud manager to attach a virtual disk to the VM that the pod
is hosting on it:
https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver/blob/16d7f9af6a3ac9a0a4e35c5b640c5ace9d7b45e7/driver/controller.go#L159
Also other features for PV is handled by calling corresponding APIs for
virtual disk in Hetzner cloud.
Since the functionality of volume service in Hetzner cloud is similar to
CloudStack volume, I think that we can do the same for CloudStack CSI
driver.

Alireza

So based on your message those storages should be available to containers
on some kind of protocols over network, NFS for instance.
I thought that we can attach a virtual disk to the VM that hosts the pod,
and then directly attach it to the pod. In case of pod migration, we can
detach the disk and attach it to another VM.

Thanks Alireza.
It is a long list. Almost all drivers in the list are for block storage
solutions or file shares. containers can access the resources directly.
Different to them, cloudstack volumes are attached to VMs, not to pods or
containers. containers cannot attach cloudstack volumes. All IaaS platforms
have the same problem.
In the list there are no drivers for other IaaS projects (openstack,
opennebula, etc) and public cloud providers (amazon ec2, google gcp or
azure compute, etc).
In my opinion, CSI drivers should be implemented by storage providers , not
cloud providers.

From a technical viewpoint and low level operations in hypervisor, does it
need something more than detaching disk from source VM and attaching it to
destination VM that has already been implemented in CloudStack? Also these
features can be available for CSI because CloudStack support it:
Raw Blcok, Snapshot, Expansion, Cloning
But a volume in CloudStack can only operate in Read/Write Single Pod mode
not multiple pods.
You can see a list of already developed CSIs in this link:

Re: Goggle Summer of Code 2021

I was wondering if it is feasible, as CloudStack does not provide storage
solutions like EBS, Azure disk, openstack cinder.
CloudStack kubernetes clusters should use other storage (for example NFS or
ceph) for persistent volumes.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,
I'd like to propose the idea of allowing the user to set multiple SSH keys for a VM rather than just a single one via the API.
It would be simple enough to complete within the timeframe for someone new to the project as well as be a great addition to ACS
Thanks,
David

Hi all
It would be great if the CloudStack project were able to get a few Google Summer of Code [1] students this year to work on projects within our community. We've had a number of previous GSoC students (examples at [2] ), who have worked on innovative features/ projects within cloudstack and have then gone on to become significant contributors to Cloudstack .
In order to be able to attract students to work on Cloudstack, we need 2 things:
1. A number of candidate projects for students to work on. Students browse all GSoC the candidate projects and choose one that interests them- effectively every organisation is competing for the students interest. These projects therefore need to be reasonably interesting looking projects to attract potential students. The students spend approximately 9 weeks coding, so the projects need to be appropriately scaled
2. Somebody prepared to mentor the student throughout the duration of the project (usually the person who suggests the project)
The student application period starts 29 March [3]
The ASF has registered itself as a mentor organisation with Google , allowing individual Apache projects to list candidate projects for students to work on. A wiki page [4] has been created at the ASF level to allow ASF projects to list their ideas for students
I'm happy to coordinate this from a Cloudstack perspective.
If others are happy with this approach, then I ask for two things at this stage:
1. Could people suggest appropriate projects. This could be a piece of integration that you've always considered and not got around to or could be an improvement that you've always wanted to do. If people can reply to this thread with ANY ideas, it would be a good start (irrespective of whether you wish to be a mentor or not)
2. At the same time, could people say whether they'd be prepared to be a student mentor or not

People,
I'm not going to volunteer as a mentor (though I could go mentor if so
required) so I'm asking colleagues to champion the ideas I bombed you with
below. especially the top/best define one:

If anyone is interested in the third one, I extended my thoughts on that:
export in cloudmonkey command format for recreation of a part of one's

People,
I'm not going to volunteer as a mentor (though I could go mentor if so
required) so I'm asking colleagues to champion the ideas I bombed you with
below. especially the top/best define one:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4834
If anyone is interested in the third one, I extended my thoughts on that:
export in cloudmonkey command format for recreation of a part of one's
cloud.

Guys, I have some ideas but never got any of my ideas to fruition in the
past so I'd like to donate/discuss them before taking myself too serious:
1. authentication plugins for public authentication providers like
google/microsoft/facebook/...
2. a new usage subsystem design that basis itself on events rather than
periods.
3. statistics export mech to get csv/ods/xls for metrics/events/usage/quota
there are some that I would not like to bother students with like
x. facade and upgrade for logging
y. facade for internal messaging mechanism (gson is way out of support)
not sure if I dare take them on myself

Re: Goggle Summer of Code 2021
Posted by Rohit Yadav <ro...@shapeblue.com>.
Thanks for starting the thread Giles.
I would like to propose an idea that would help community onboard users with existing XenServer/VMware/* environments with VMs to CloudStack/KVM. This may sound like a big task but I see virt-v2v being used by some projects such as oVirt where it looks like virt-v2v does the heavy lifting and the integration/duct-tape is all that is required:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4696
I've added the proposal on the comdev wiki:

Subject: Goggle Summer of Code 2021
Hi all
It would be great if the CloudStack project were able to get a few Google Summer of Code [1] students this year to work on projects within our community. We've had a number of previous GSoC students (examples at [2] ), who have worked on innovative features/ projects within cloudstack and have then gone on to become significant contributors to Cloudstack .
In order to be able to attract students to work on Cloudstack, we need 2 things:
1. A number of candidate projects for students to work on. Students browse all GSoC the candidate projects and choose one that interests them- effectively every organisation is competing for the students interest. These projects therefore need to be reasonably interesting looking projects to attract potential students. The students spend approximately 9 weeks coding, so the projects need to be appropriately scaled
2. Somebody prepared to mentor the student throughout the duration of the project (usually the person who suggests the project)
The student application period starts 29 March [3]
The ASF has registered itself as a mentor organisation with Google , allowing individual Apache projects to list candidate projects for students to work on. A wiki page [4] has been created at the ASF level to allow ASF projects to list their ideas for students
I'm happy to coordinate this from a Cloudstack perspective.
If others are happy with this approach, then I ask for two things at this stage:
1. Could people suggest appropriate projects. This could be a piece of integration that you've always considered and not got around to or could be an improvement that you've always wanted to do. If people can reply to this thread with ANY ideas, it would be a good start (irrespective of whether you wish to be a mentor or not)
2. At the same time, could people say whether they'd be prepared to be a student mentor or not

Hi Giles and all,
I’d like to propose some improvements in the UI around user experience. I think it’ll be great if users can navigate around just using keyboards, meaning go to different pages, confirm dialogues and submit forms without the use of mouse.
Here’s a detailed description of the feature: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4798
As far as mentorship, I’m happy to take part on the ideas/requirements side of the feature, but we’ll need a volunteer for the coding part.

Hi guys,
I've an idea around mapping existing configuration parameters to the APIs when they are used during some operation, instead of looking for configuration parameters using string search or documentation. This helps in debugging or tuning the API operation easily w.r.t. configuration parameters.

Hi,
I would like to propose the idea of Cloning a Virtual Machine (with all the data disks) – using a new VM cmd (cloneVirtualMachine API) to create a copy of the VM. This will ease creating a copy of the VM without following series of API cmds to achieve that in CloudStack. Some hypervisors (Eg. VMware) already supports clone VM operation, and CloudStack can leverage that. This will be a good addition to the VM operations supported in CloudStack. More details here: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4818

Suresh

Hi guys,
I've an idea around mapping existing configuration parameters to the APIs when they are used during some operation, instead of looking for configuration parameters using string search or documentation. This helps in debugging or tuning the API operation easily w.r.t. configuration parameters.
I've created a ticket here https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4825.

I'm happy to be a mentor for this improvement. Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks,

Hi all
It would be great if the CloudStack project were able to get a few Google Summer of Code [1] students this year to work on projects within our community. We've had a number of previous GSoC students (examples at [2] ), who have worked on innovative features/ projects within cloudstack and have then gone on to become significant contributors to Cloudstack .
In order to be able to attract students to work on Cloudstack, we need 2 things:
1. A number of candidate projects for students to work on. Students browse all GSoC the candidate projects and choose one that interests them- effectively every organisation is competing for the students interest. These projects therefore need to be reasonably interesting looking projects to attract potential students. The students spend approximately 9 weeks coding, so the projects need to be appropriately scaled
2. Somebody prepared to mentor the student throughout the duration of the project (usually the person who suggests the project)
The student application period starts 29 March [3]
The ASF has registered itself as a mentor organisation with Google , allowing individual Apache projects to list candidate projects for students to work on. A wiki page [4] has been created at the ASF level to allow ASF projects to list their ideas for students

Thanks for starting the thread Giles.
I would like to propose an idea that would help community onboard users with existing XenServer/VMware/* environments with VMs to CloudStack/KVM. This may sound like a big task but I see virt-v2v being used by some projects such as oVirt where it looks like virt-v2v does the heavy lifting and the integration/duct-tape is all that is required:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4696
I've added the proposal on the comdev wiki:

Hi,
I'd like to propose the idea of allowing the user to set multiple SSH keys for a VM rather than just a single one via the API.
It would be simple enough to complete within the timeframe for someone new to the project as well as be a great addition to ACS
Thanks,
David

Hi,
I would like to propose the idea of Cloning a Virtual Machine (with all the data disks) – using a new VM cmd (cloneVirtualMachine API) to create a copy of the VM. This will ease creating a copy of the VM without following series of API cmds to achieve that in CloudStack. Some hypervisors (Eg. VMware) already supports clone VM operation, and CloudStack can leverage that. This will be a good addition to the VM operations supported in CloudStack. More details here: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4818
Regards,
Suresh

Hi All,
I'd like to propose an idea around extending the behaviour of Persistent Networks in CloudStack. The idea is to enable synchronization of network devices across newly added hosts. Further details can be found at: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4814
Thanks,
