Palo Alto Firewall Integration
Hey Everyone,
My name is Will Stevens and I am the lead developer at CloudOps (
www.cloudops.com). At CloudOps we build and manage public and private
clouds.
We are working with Palo Alto to add support in CloudStack for the Palo
Alto firewall. The initial phase of this project will be to add Palo Alto
feature parity with the current Juniper SRX firewall integration.
I am building a network element plugin for this functionality. I am
building the functionality into a local branch (called 'palo_alto') which
is off the 'master' branch. Once I have everything working, I will make
the code available for review.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know that I am
working on this.
Cheers,
Will

Hi Will,
Welcome. I look forward to seeing this, especially as it matures.
Are you doing this somewhere that folks can watch your progress?

Welcome to the fun!
A couple of requests:
First, we usually request that you keep your development out in the open
(if it's going to be long running). You can do this by pushing to a
github repo of your choosing (usually your own), and then letting the
community know where it is (and what branch).
Similarly to your code, please do try to keep all discussion about how
to implement the feature on this list (as well as requirement
discussions).
There are also a few administrative things that we like to have developers
to as well, if you don't mind too much:
We usually start with a spec for the new feature, which goes on the wiki.
The template for the spec can be found at [1]. The new page you create
should probably be a child of the "Design Documents Not Committed to a
Release" page initially [2]. Once you have something to discuss, let the
list know (usually using a DISCUSS or PROPOSE subject line tag).
When you get closer to submitting a patch (and usually a squashed patch
is best) for review, we'll ask for a "New Feature" jira ticket to be
created within the project's bug tracker [3]. Ask to have your account
added as a contributor, once you are ready, so that you can assign the new
feature to yourself.
One really important concern that has bitten folks in the past, is the
inclusion of any third party code or new dependencies for the project.
Please bring those up as early as possible, so we can ensure that they
don't become a hurdle for your feature to be accepted.
Whew - Hopefully that's not too much to ask, but we've been trying to get
into a rhythm with these things to keep ourselves organized.
Thanks again, and looking forward to hearing more from you as things
progress!

Hi Will,
Welcome to the community!
I was working on Juniper SRX integration with Cloudstack. You can
involve me if you want to start some discussions on the network part
code. Also, as Chip said, a brief design document on what you're
working on would be helpful for us to get better understanding of your
work.

Yes, that's why I think your name sounds very familiar.
Looking forward for collaboration with you again. :)

Thanks for all the advise. This is very helpful. I will put together a
spec for this as soon as I have a chance.
Sheng: Thanks for the offer, I am sure I will take you up on it at some
point. You and I worked together a bit this past summer when I was
consulting for Citrix. I was the guy who added the Site-to-Site VPN, VPC
and Private Gateway functionality into CPBM for a large unnamed telecom
here in Canada last summer.
Thanks again for all your help here guys. I will get you something to look
at as soon as I can.
Cheers...

Hi Will, welcome to CloudStack
Thanks for letting us know you are working on this.
You might consider writing a little feature spec, you can find example on the 4.1 release plan at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/cloudstack-41-release.html
And also you can file a feature request on JIRA:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK
Cheers,
-Sebastien
