Thanks Ignasi, just subscribed.

Fine: we'll keep you updated here about our current activities (e.g. 
making the live test suite succeeding) - which I hope will end up soon 
with a pull request.

I have also seen another pull request on Azure provider (#144): any 
background on this?

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Ignasi Barrera <na...@apache.org>.
That's great Francesco,

I'll review both PRs this week, so you can expect to have them merged
soon after that, depending on the work required derived from the
review comments.

Thanks!

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
I just added https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/167.

I have resolved merge conflicts and made some changes in live test of
 PR#144.

Shall we merge PR#167 now?

Regards.

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Francesco Chicchiriccò <il...@apache.org>.
Hi all,
as you might have seen, the PR #161 was merged yesterday.

How should we move forward?

Bhathiya, do you have any news?

Regards.

Hi,

Francesco had it mostly covered on the difference. In additon Virtual
Machine per Cloudservice would not support Availability sets therefore
Autoscaling. This article[1] brief azure thinking of cloud services.

No AFAICT, but I am definitely not an expert on Azure pricing :-)

Moreover, I am not completely sure that this is not affecting Autoscaling:

is there an extra cost/limitation for the end-user in having this kind of
approach?

Thanks,

Waiting for PR #161 to get merged, here's my view on the refactoring 
proposed to have a 'better mapping from the jclouds "node" object to the 
Azure entities', e.g. for the subject of Bhathiya's PR #157 (still 
without a corresponding issue on JIRA, shouldn't we open it?).

Currently there is a direct match between Deployment (Azure) and Node 
(JClouds), by mean of DeploymentToNodeMetadata:

https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/blob/master/azurecompute/src/main/java/org/jclouds/azurecompute/compute/functions/DeploymentToNodeMetadata.java

However, in Azure a deployment can contain multiple virtual machines; 
the current code makes instead assumption that a deployment contains a 
single virtual machine, and uses the same name for both.

For this reason Bhathiya is working for replacing 
DeploymentToNodeMetadata with a new VirtualMachineToNodeMetadata, which 
requires to implement the "Add Role" operation (as reported below) in 
order to add "a Virtual Machine to a deployment of Virtual Machines", as 
reported in

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj157186.aspx

Naturally, this modification has a significant impact on the live test 
execution.

So, in summary:

  * PRO - do not impose limitations on the way how Azure features can be 
driven via JClouds, because without this change one is forced to create 
a new deployment for every new virtual machine; moreover, even if I 
cannot find a specific reference in the documentation, it seems that you 
can only have a single deployment for deployment slot (e.g. "Production" 
or "Staging") which would mean that, in order to have 2 virtual 
machines, you need to have 2 distinct deployments in 2 distinct cloud 
services

* CON - additional work for ensuring that all live tests are still 
working in this new configuration

Fabio, Bhathiya, please correct / complete.

Sounds good!

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Ignasi Barrera <na...@apache.org>.
I'd say the plan is to merge #161 first, to have a tested and working
implementation of the compute service.

Once that one is in, we can discuss about the convenience of changing
the current model to have a better mapping from the jclouds "node"
object to the Azure entities. Regarding this, we can not expect
everyone to read the Azure API docs, so a summary of the motivation
behind that change, an overview of the current vs the proposed model
and the pros and cons of the change would be highly appreciated.

Regarding promotion, we need to have the live tests passing (you did a

promote it.

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
Hi Francesco,

1. #155 (for JCLOUDS-839) - is it complete?
It  does not complete issue 839. It only support GetCloudServiceProperties
Operation.  I will rebase it. Further I can work on JCLOUD-839( if no one
working on it) .However do we need suport for all the operations? Shall we
decide on what operations need to be supported

2. #154 (for JCLOUDS-853) - is it complete?
It is complete and I'll have to rebase.

3. #157 (no subtask of JCLOUDS-664 for this?) - is this complete? In
   particular, is support for "Add Role Operation" yet to be added?

I have finished working on AddRole opertaion. However it may require little
bit of work to rebase. I'll continue workion on that if all are agreed with
the proposed changes.

4. #144 (for JCLOUDS-852?) - is it complete?
It is need to be rebased as well. There were few issues with live tests
when I make the PR and I have now fixed it

5. #118 - which seems to be outdated: shall we just close it?
It is outdated and I'll close it

what is required to promote the Azure Compute provider out of labs?

should we support Operations on Autoscaling? [1]

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Francesco Chicchiriccò <il...@apache.org>.
Hi all,
let's recap the situation, after a while.

Several pull requests have been merged in the meanwhile and now the 
following issues are resolved:

 1. JCLOUDS-837
 2. JCLOUDS-838
 3. JCLOUDS-841
 4. JCLOUDS-842
 5. JCLOUDS-846
 6. JCLOUDS-849

Moreover, the following PR are needed to be merged before continuing:

 1. #156 (resolving JCLOUDS-850) - which should be merge any minute now,
    but requires jclouds/jclouds#724 / JCLOUDS-876
 2. #161 that, besides resolving JCLOUDS-873, contains important
    improvements for the live tests execution

More PRs from Bhathiya are also waiting, but might require some rebase:

 1. #155 (for JCLOUDS-839) - is it complete?
 2. #154 (for JCLOUDS-853) - is it complete?
 3. #157 (no subtask of JCLOUDS-664 for this?) - is this complete? In
    particular, is support for "Add Role Operation" yet to be added?
 4. #144 (for JCLOUDS-852?) - is it complete?
 5. #118 - which seems to be outdated: shall we just close it?

Any thoughts? Plans?

Side question: what is required to promote the Azure Compute provider 
out of labs?

Regards.

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
Hi Francesco, Fabio

I have make a PR [1] with the propsed changes. With the changes we no
longer assume deployment name and Cloudservice name are equal.

VirtualMachineToNodeMetadat can be

builder.location(FluentIterable.from(locations.get()).firstMatch(
LocationPredicates.idEquals(api.getCloudServiceApi().get(from.
<http://from.name/>serviceName()).location())).orNull());

However Add Role Operation [2] should be suppported in order to service
adapter to be complete. Now I am working on that.

Please check my PR and update me on the way you would like to proceed

[1] - https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/157

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
Hi Francesco, Fabilo

@ Francsco It must be <VirtualMachine, RoleSize, OSImage, Location>. My
bad. What I was typing!

It is mostly complete
https://github.com/hsbhathiya/jclouds-labs/commit/cc24ecc201ff8a6740c232670be57dfc61745643
I'll be able to make  the PR with in a day.

@Fabio.
Please, consider that we have to remove the assumption that deployment name
is equal to CloudService's. This is the reason why we need location
directly available or CloudService name instead.
Agree serviceName is an attribute in my VirtualMachine. However I have made
the same (wrong) assumption when transforming
DeploymentsToVirtualMachines in my solution. I'll look for a solution.

May be we can get  the cloud service from the Url of deployment
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460804.aspx

Url

Specifies the URL that is used to access the cloud service.For example, if
the service name is *MyService* you could access the access the service by
calling: http://*MyService*.cloudapp.net
I have to check it though.

Hi Bhathiya, as per Francesco, I got your proposal: it sounds reasonable 
with me.
You can proceed if you want but I have to ask you to take care to make 
Location/CloudService ID available to populate NodeMetadata object.

Currently, the deployment does not include the location among its 
properties: in order to set-up location for a new NodeMetadata object I 
had to retrieve this info asking for CloudService properties before.

Into the DeploymentToNodeMetadata, my temporary solution for the 
location is the following

// TODO: CloudService name is required (see JCLOUDS-849): waiting for 
JCLOUDS-853.
builder.location(FluentIterable.from(locations.get()).firstMatch(
LocationPredicates.idEquals(api.getCloudServiceApi().get(from.name()).location())).orNull());

Please, consider that we have to remove the assumption that deployment 
name is equal to CloudService's. This is the reason why we need location 
directly available or CloudService name instead.

Please, let me have a feedback.

Regards,
F.

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Francesco Chicchiriccò <il...@apache.org>.
Hi Bhathiya,
I was finally able to spend some time to dive into this issue 
(JCLOUDS-853, if I am not wrong).

What is quite clear to me is that the current mapping between Deployment 
(azure domain) and NodeMetadata (jclouds domain) does not reflect the 
way how things are organized in Azure.

In fact, after having created a cloud service (using the test code) 
'ilgrosso548-virtualmachineapilivetest', the deployment and the virtual 
machine with same name (using the code from one of live tests), I was 
also able to add a second virtual machine to the existing deployment by 
POSTing this payload [1] to this endpoint [2] (as explained in [3]).

I mostly agree with what you propose below, e.g.:

1 - Introduce VirtualMachine in domain
2 - Map DeploymentToVirtualMachines where single deployment produces 
list of virtual machines
3 - Map VirtualMachineToNodeMetadata
4 - Change  AzureComputeServiceAdapter<VirtualMachine, 
RoleList,OSImage,Location>"

I say "mostly" because I don't fully agree with last statement: I would 
have said instead

<VirtualMachine, RoleSize, OSImage, Location>

e.g. keeping RoleSize as class for listing hardware profiles.


Have you already started working on this? How long do you think it would 
take to you to complete?
Consider that we already have a pending PR for JCLOUDS-850 and that a 
new PR for JCLOUDS-849 should be ready by the end of this weel at most.
Depending on timings, it might be an idea to rebase our work on yours, 
as opposite to what Fabio is proposing below.

WDYT?

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
Hi Fabio,

I can wait till the PR of issue [1] and rebase my work on it. I just need
to make sure we get compute abstraction to azure compute
mapping right.I think sooner we make the decision better. It'll be great if
someone from MS Open Tech can look into this issue?

[1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-849

Thanks

Hi Bhathiya, personally I cannot evaluate the overall impact of the 
suggested changes.
Even though I have no particular issue with them I have to ask you to 
wait for [1]:

  * I see a lot of conflicts between our work and yours;
  * the work on this issue will be a strong check for every future change.

We are currently working on [1] and we should be able to submit the new 
PR at the beginning of the next week.
WDYT?

Kind regards,
F.

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
Hi devs,

I  like to bring back this[1]  discussion related to
AzureComputeServcieAdapter implementation.

"As far as I understand RoleInstance represents a node in azure API.
However RoleInstance to NodeMetadata would be bit problematic as Azure
RoleInstance represenation not consist of some important data

Main issue I see in the current mapping of Deployment to Node is the
assumption that deployment always consist of single a roleinststace.

My suggestion is to
1 - Introduce VirtualMachine in domain
2 - Map DeploymentToVirtualMachines where single deployment produces list
of virtual machines
3 - Map VirtualMachineToNodeMetadata
4 - Change  AzureComputeServiceAdapter<VirtualMachine, RoleList,OSImage,
Location> "

I can make a PR with suggested changes if we can agree on this. However
these substasks 9,10 in jira would directly conflict with the change.Any
thoughts on this?

[1] - https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs/pull/135#discussion_r25013853
[2] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-664

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Bhathiya Supun <hs...@gmail.com>.
Hi,

It is great to see this moving forwad.

I would note down tasks I have finished upto now (but yet to make PR)

1 -  Add Role Operation Support [1]

2 - Get Cloud Service Properties Support [2]
This is already supported in feature Api.But improved to capture all the
data returned by the operation

3 -  Fix issues in Create Virtual Machine Deployment Operation [3] allowing
different combinations of  DeploymentParams

[1] - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj157186.aspx
[2] - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460806.aspx

Re: Working on Azure compute provider

Posted by Francesco Chicchiriccò <il...@apache.org>.
Hi,
FYI we were finally able to fix the live test execution, and created PR #147

Now we are examining the Azure Service Management REST API Reference at

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee460799.aspx

to identify anything missing (also considering PR #144 as said below) in 
order to create subtasks of JCLOUDS-664 as agreed.

Any idea about timings for merging #144 and #147?
Thanks for your support.

Regards.
