Whirr with Openstack
Hello,
We've been using Whirr for a while now with Amazon's EC2 service but we
would like to switch over to using a private cloud service maintained by
Openstack. I know jclouds supports it, but I can't find any details
(e.g. provider name) for whirr support of openstack. It would be
simplest for us to continue using Whirr only with a private cloud
provider, but we need to know if Whirr supports Openstack (or if there
is another better provider option) before continuing. Any guidance is
appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

whirr.provider=rackspace-cloudservers-uk
whirr.identity=yourusername
whirr.credential=aabbccddeeff
#my custom image
whirr.image-id=LON/859b3af3-abbc-4fdd-a8be-ff4d03de6a1f
We had some problems with rackspace UK throttling requests and blocking the
operation, but that's been resolved with the help of Rackspace (which shows
they do care)
I think the US provider name is rackspace-cloudservers
There is some ongoing work for Hadoop integration directly with OpenStack's
Swift blobstore, of which my branch lives up at :
https://github.com/hortonworks/Hadoop-and-Swift-integration.
You can follow its progress on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8545 ; when done you'll be
able to add a new JAR to hadoop/lib -or include it in jobs- to move data
between HDFS and Swift.

Hi Andrew,
Have you tried:
whirr.provider=openstack
whirr.endpoint=http://localhost:5000/v2.0/
(plus the usual identity, credential etc) ?
image-id maybe also be helpful if it doesn't autodetect the image you want.
Best
Alex

Just an update for anyone that might care, I was able to get a really
simple machine (noop) booted up. Here is the recipe:
whirr.cluster-name=test
whirr.instance-templates=1 noop
whirr.provider=openstack-nova
whirr.endpoint=http://<openstack-server>:5000/v2.0
whirr.identity=<openstack-login>
whirr.credential=<openstack-pw>
jclouds.keystone.tenant-id=83635d0c0e6b4ed28d446d3f7e5c6cb4
#CentOS 5.8
whirr.image-id=RegionOne/c4e988e4-6e21-4711-99f6-9e580a772af3
Thanks,
Andrew
