[one-dev] Megam - Cloud orchestrator for OpenNebula

[Thomas Alrin]

Dear all,
     We are proposingMegam - Cloud orchestrator for OpenNebula. Megam 
leverages system configuration framework (Chef http://opscode.com) to 
implement an orchestration engine to launch multiple composite cloud 
application based on templates that are written using ruby code. The 
templates are versioned and can be adopted to every vDC in Opennebula.

Our Roadmap.

Opennebulaoffers basic Cloud management including an intuitive 
self-service interface. It is focused on the level of Infrastructure as 
a Service.

Chefis DevOps software which can interface to OpenNebula and adds 
several features such as lifecycle management for virtual machine images 
and the possibility to deploy standardized middleware and applications. 
These standardized software components provide platform services to the 
application components built on top of them.

Our proposal is to have *Megam* provide cloud orchestration for 
OpenNebula based on open standards like 
TOSCA(http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA/v1.0/os/TOSCA-v1.0-os.html). Megam 
already provides ability to launch app/services today.  The design 
specifics for TOSCA will be released shortly.

As a first step we are building a  chef plugin to OpenNebula, which can 
stand up instances in OpenNebula using its templates.

Using this knife plugin for OpenNebula, an user can do the following,

* List the templates which are already created in OpenNebula.

* List the VMs which are already created either in OpenNebula or from 
the knife plugin.

* Create a VM by instantiating the OpenNebula template. Chef bootstraps 
the VM and applies a role.

Anxious to hear the communities feedback. Feel free to reach out to us
