[one-users] Closing OpenNebula 4.4 Cycle, Planning for 4.6

[Nikita Balashov]

 Hi all,

Feature #1727 "Patch for one.image.resize to resize image"  is also useful
for OpenVZ images as it also allows to specify image size on deploy.

Regards,
Nikita

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for letting the community participate on the roadmap planning!

For me there are two features important, which are already described on the
development portal:

#2568 "Support for RBD Format 2 images"
---------------------------------------
I have already tested the attached patch on version 4.4 and it just works
great. VM provisioning using this method is A LOT faster than with "Format
1" images, like lightning speed.

#1727 "Patch for one.image.resize to resize image"
--------------------------------------------------
I'd like to specify the target image size in the template.
The Ubuntu Cloud Images are able to resize themself during the first boot
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/cloud-initramfs-growroot, installed
by default on the cloud images). So you just need the original image (which
is 2GB) and specify the size you need in the template. This is mainly very
useful for the public cloud interface where you could provide some
templates to the users which specifies not only the ram size and cpu count,
but also the image size. So you don't have to prepare an image for every
size you'd like to provide.

Other ideas and votes
---------------------
To extend the public cloud capabilities, a customer management and billing
interface (think of "oneacct" extended to the webinterface) would be a nice
feature I'd like to see in the future.
Better handling of VMs which are stopped by the user from inside the VM
(f.e. "shutdown -h now") would make admins life easier.
I also vote for the following Redmine tickets assigned to "Release 4.6"
target version:
* #2453 "Add hostname configuration to contexualization"
* #1818 "Support for IP reservations"


Looking forward to comments on my ideas.

Cheers,
Tobias

Dear users,

Having released OpenNebula 4.4 Retina and closed its release cycle, it
is time to open a new one for the next release.

We have identified the issues [1] (bugs + features) we deem important
for the release, and we have including in that list the features that
didn't make it in OpenNebula 4.4 in the end.

As discussed with the OpenNebula Conf attendees (see? you need to come
next year ;) ), we want to give our users the chance to shape the
roadmap for the upcoming OpenNebula 4.6. We invite you to submit your
comments on the roadmap via email (ideally within this thread, but
feel free to open a new one if you think it is necessary to discuss
any particular topic). This valuable input will be used to shape the
short-term roadmap with the features that will be part of the release
cycle.

The ideal process of the discussion would be for any person interested
in discussing a feature request to search first if there is already a
similar one in the OpenNebula development portal [2]. If no similar
request is found, please open one describing as best as you can what
feature you have in mind, and let us know in this mailing list so we
know there is interest and we need to shape the roadmap to accommodate
it. If you find a similar request, read through the proposed approach
and let us know if you agree on it. If not, please put a comment in
the feature request explaining your concern, and let us know as well
here.

We plan to close this discussion next Thursday, 16th, EOB.

It goes without saying that the more interest we see on a feature,
more priority it will have in the short-term roadmap.

Tino, on behalf of the OpenNebula Team
