android cloudstack client
Guys,
I was wondering how useful will be a android (and iOS) cloudstack client will be ? I have started to put together a android client initially to show dash board and later probably will add more functionality.
Before putting in more effort, wanted to probe the community if this is something they will want to use ?

I've seen this, but haven't used it:
http://www.appannie.com/app/ios/cloudstack-api/
It's written by the guy who wrote the perl bindings for the CloudStack API.

As a dual iOS/Android user I think this is a great idea. Heck, even to just have a nice monitoring tool/performance app would be great.

@Nitin - Our idea is to design it from a user perspective only . I 'll probably be able to share the screenshots very shortly .
@Abhi - Sure , I think we would definitely need you to pitch in since you already have experience with creating native apps. The more ideas , the better it is to achieve something close to perfection:) .But as I mentioned the work which is going on is designed from a user view and not admin.
For having an app focusing on admin View , we still need to think about it . Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks,
Pranav

Good to see it is already under works.
My plans were to do something similar and nothing more.
I guess now if you guys need help I can pitch in as I have some experience of creating native apps on android and iOS.

Hello Chip,
Thus far the plans are to make this an open-source product. We are in the early beginning stages of thought behind all this and have yet to decide on anything. I'll start a formal discussion and proposal as we have a better idea of where we would like to see this going. It' great to hear that there is some interest in this though.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks You and Best Regards,

Just so we're clear, and so that we don't have a repeat of the past mistakes, if you want to do this as part of Apache CloudStack, the discussion should be on this list.
On the other hand, if you want to do it as a separate project, then feel free and best of luck! And if you want to keep it as a commercial product, than that's fine too.
I just want to remind folks of the difference between developing something in the community vs outside of it.
Anyhow... it would be a great thing to have for the users, regardless of where and how it's built!

Cordova not Flex.

Our plan was actually to use PhoneGap/Apache Cordova for the apps, which are written in HTML5 and JS. It wraps all of your HTML and JavaScript into a native app, and you get full access to all the features of your phone. It supports practically every phone API out there, so this way it is very easy to make the mobile apps cross-platform.
And it's another ASF project :)

Perhaps we could even leverage Flex - and get support for a ton of platforms.

Thus far I've discussed using phonegap(http://phonegap.com/) with some of our web devs to wrap html5 code in creating these apps. This will also allow us to export onto multiple mobile platforms and have greater control in support. Also phonegap was also a ASF project too, so you know, that's nice :)

Just to chime in here. At the moment, all development of features will be done on Apache. There are no plans to develop anything internal and this applies to future projects like Android/iOS apps. The UI team here at Citrix has this in their plans of potential things to do for ACS but no development has started yet.

I'll let Sonny comment on this one if there is a plan to make it open source . But yes , this project is still inchoate with ideas still being exchanged on how to take its development forward.

Speaking of usefulness, its invaluable.
The thought of controlling your infrastructure from a handheld device on the go - which is also open-source - is priceless.
To reflect on this thought, this tool will be in demand by both corporate and hosting clients.
How certain are you that Citrix is going to donate the code?

As a cloud admin, I would love to keep a tab on my cloud so ideally would
want to see the dashboard, general health and alerts on my cloud.
It will be also useful for time taking functionalities like taking
snapshot, creating a vm etc. so would like to be notified when these
operations are done.
So this focuses on admin based functionalities.
Maybe we can also have a user based app where he can view his vms,
snapshots - take action on them and see his account limits.

Good to see it is already under works.
My plans were to do something similar and nothing more.
I guess now if you guys need help I can pitch in as I have some experience
of creating native apps on android and iOS.

Hi abhi ,
Even me and Brian had started to design the front end for an Android/ iOS app for cloudstack and we were using the phoneGap API to handle few of the touch functionalities for this . We thought that when we have a basic prototype up and working , we'll share it with the community .
Our plan is to have a basic set of features like starting an instance , stopping an instance , may be take a snapshot and list the capacity charts on the dashboard .
Could you also elaborate on what exactly is your plan and how do you plan to have the UI design for your work ? May be we should collaborate on this and avoid any redundant work .
