[GitHub] [cloudstack] sureshanaparti opened a new issue #4818: GSoC Idea - Clone a Virtual Machine (with all the data disks)
sureshanaparti opened a new issue #4818:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4818
## Background
There is no straight way to clone / create a copy of the VM (with all the data disks) in CloudStack. Operator/Admin requires a series of steps/API cmds to be followed to achieve that in CloudStack, and also it takes considerable time (to wait and check each cmd response before proceeding to next step). Some hypervisors (Eg. VMware) already supports clone VM operation, and CloudStack can leverage that.
## Proposed Tasks
- Introduce a new (admin-only) API to clone the VM, something like _cloneVirtualMachine_ , which facilitates direct way to clone / create a copy of the VM (with all the data disks). CloudStack internally performs all the required operations to create the copy of the VM (leverages the relevant hypervisor(s) operations if necessary), and returns the VM as response when success, otherwise throws the relevant error message.
- Add the support in the CloudStack UI.
## Relevant Skills
- Java, Python, Vue.js
- Understanding of CloudStack operations (for VM, Volume)
## Proposed Mentor
Suresh Anaparti - development
Any developer from the community - coding issues
## Difficulty
Medium

Hello, I am an ME student from Bits Pilani, Goa, India. I would love to contribute to an open source project like cloudstack. It would be a great help if anyone could guide me how to proceed with this project. I am currently trying to build it, facing some issue with tests failing.
Thanks & Regards,
Daman

Hi @damanBirSingh thanks for your interest.
I would advise that you read the community GSoC guidelines (https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html), join the dev mailing list (http://cloudstack.apache.org/mailing-lists.html) to discuss your GSoC idea/proposal/application, and start drafting your application (for example https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/proposal-example-1). With your proposed mentor (see email above), start an early discussion with them and you can ask them to review your application draft (for example, compose your draft and share with a Google doc).
You can refer to the CloudStack course to help you draft your application and learn how to build something in CloudStack https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook
