Free Rackspace Cloud Account for Stratos

Hi All,

Everett from the jclouds team again. You're probably not aware but I'm a Developer Advocate for Rackspace in addition to being a committer on Apache jclouds. 

Anyway, we have a program here at Rackspace that gives OSS projects a free Rackspace Cloud account for development and testing of their project on our cloud. So I would very much like to extend this offer to the Stratos project. Naturally jclouds already has such an account. ;) I think you've got a great project with some great open source potential at Apache and I'd like to help by giving you these resources. 

In the interests of transparency, we would have some modest asks in exchange:

1: You say thanks to Rackspace somewhere on your site.
1.1: Preferably add our logo in that thanks.
2: Blog about your experiences/usages with the service and send us the URL.

If this is something the Stratos project would like, identify a point of contact for us and we'll take things from there. 

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers,
Everett

P.S. This program is by invite only right now and this offer is only valid for Stratos.

Re: Free Rackspace Cloud Account for Stratos

You can use what you need. There are no restrictions on the account. All we ask is that you use it responsibly (e.g. delete resources that aren't in use). :)

Hi Everett,

One last question? What resource we can get? For run Stratos (all 4 products, Cloud Controller, Load Balancer, Stratos Controller and Stratos Agent) need to have at least one 8 GB (16 GB recommend) Linux server. For test IaaS ( in this case Rackspace ) specific scaling (spin out PHP, MySQL, Tomcat ...etc Cartridges) recommend 4 instances (Linux) with minimum 512 MB ( 1 GB recommend ) RAM.

Re: Free Rackspace Cloud Account for Stratos

Posted by Everett Toews <ev...@RACKSPACE.COM>.

Hi Lakmal,

Sorry about the late reply. I'm still getting to all of the email I missed from being at OSCON last week.

For jclouds we have https://wiki.apache.org/jclouds/TestProviderThanks
I blog about Rackspace and jclouds all the time. As you can see from my blog link below. ;)

As for other OSS examples:

Mopidy
https://twitter.com/mopidy/status/359075203998953473
New sites with badges:
http://ci.mopidy.com/
http://apt.mopidy.com/
http://www.jodal.no/2013/07/22/mopidy-hosted-by-rackspace/

DataSounds
https://twitter.com/search?q=rackspace%20from%3Adatasounds&src=typd
http://www.datasounds.org/drafts/now-hosted-at-rackspace-cloud.html

TaskWarrior
https://twitter.com/search?q=rackspace%20from%3Ataskwarrior&src=typd
http://taskwarrior.org/news/172
http://taskwarrior.org/news/171

So you can see that it varies from project to project just how much they do.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Everett

In the interests of transparency, we would have some modest asks in exchange:

If this is something the Stratos project would like, identify a point of contact for us and we'll take things from there.

Hi Everett,

We are still looking into how we can proceed this. Since jclouds done this
before can you please let us know how it was proceed and how jclouds thanks
Rackpasce, then we can follow the same. Appreciate your help on this.

This is great! Thanks Everett.. Now a member in the community can start to
write a Rackspace IaaS implementation for Apache Stratos :)

This is indeed an OpenStack cloud. However, the Rackspace Cloud was around before OpenStack so it's not a 1-to-1 mapping. Existing services will eventually be converted and new services are all OpenStack. Sooner or later, everything will be covered by jclouds for OpenStack/Rackspace though.

There's no hard limit but we'd appreciate it if you used the resources responsibility and delete any resources after you're done with them. You can always spin up more later.

You'll have to coordinate use of the account. We have some features coming down the road that might make this easier but for now, coordination will be necessary.

Hey Everett this is awesome .. thanks :-).

I'm personally +1 for your conditions - I guess this needs to be discussed
in the PMC list and accepted for formalities sake.

BTW is this an OpenStack cloud? Can u be precise about how many nodes we'll
be getting? Will multiple developers be able to use it or will have to
coordinate use of the account?

Thanks!

Sanjiva.
