HP Helion Support

[Moomen El Kassar <el...@gmail.com>]

Hello Devs,

I'm interested to provide support of HP Helion in jclouds. Is it really
practically needed?

Also, how can I contribute in terms of this provider? Are there any
knowledge prerequisites? Are there any special environment needed to
develop and test against HP Helion?

Thanks

Hi there. We have a developer wiki and also people are regularly on irc
freednode #jclouds. Beyond that, providers are regularly added, so you can
find numerous example pull requests especially in the
jclouds-labs-openstack repo.

http://wiki.apache.org/jclouds/Create%20a%20New%20API%20or%20Provider

Hope this helps and looking forward to your help!

Is there any high/low level design document available for jclouds project
so that I can understand how it works deeply and what it does for supported
providers? or I should dig into the code as it is the only way?

Thanks

Not a dev here, but is there some specific Helion feature that you'd like
to add that is outside  the ComputeService/BlobStore/standard OpenStack
APIs? AFAIK, Helion is already a supported provider, and should work as
well as any other OpenStack based cloud (though there is plenty of work to
do everywhere).

As long as HP is doing anything too weird, you should be able to setup a
local devstack instance (preferably on a local VM) (http://devstack.org/)
to test JClouds against.
