Thanks, zodbot! <zodbot> Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-04-29/cloud-sig.2010-0… <zodbot> Minutes (text): http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-04-29/cloud-sig.2010-0… <zodbot> Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-04-29/cloud-sig.2010-0… The big takeaway from my perspective: we need as much help as we can get to create an F12 image that boots on RHEL 5.5 + Xen. Then we take *that* image and test it on EC2. It may well fail, since it appears that they're running a Frankenstein RHEL 5.(0-2), but at least we'll be able to isolate their failures, demonstrate that we've got our stuff working, and put pressure on them to fix if need be. <gregdek> OK, so to recap the plan: <gregdek> * huff will post the latest ks and tools he's been using to get latest image, to remind everyone of where we're at. <gregdek> * others feel free to hack at the ks and build/test new images, sending feedback to the list. <gregdek> * eventually we'll get something that boots on rhel 5.5 xen. <gregdek> * then we try to upload Teh Winnar to EC2. <gregdek> * It will probably fail, at which point we'll throw it over the wall to Amazon -- or maybe it'll work, in which case, WIN! <gregdek> Is that about right? <smooge> yes. <huff> sounds good to me --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.

I'm doing some unexpected travel, so I'll be on an airplane during our typical meeting time today. Does someone else want to take up the mantle, or should we just meet up again next week? --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.

Another step closer on image stuff. Looks like the .ks we use is just dropping corepolicyutils and other selinux packages, so if we get those into our base .ks, we should be good to go.

Informal meeting notes from today
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

So we didn't really get quorum for a "real" meeting, but had an informal chat between dhuff, jforbes, and myself on #fedora-cloud. The upshot: the image problems we experienced with both boxgrinder and appliance-tools was *not* Amazon-related, because the images would not boot even on a local host. It's been determined that there are problems with configuration of both selinux and fstab. dhuff will tweak the ks files and run through appliance-tools again. If it works, it should work on boxgrinder. dhuff will get an image to jforbes to test tomorrow. If it doesn't work, we should probably dig in on-list and not wait until next week's meeting. A week is too much latency for these issues, I think. --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free. Visit http://opensource.com/education and join the conversation.

Some possibly useful links on EC2
by Stephen John Smoogen 12 Apr '10

For lent I decided to expand my mind by subscribing to various feeds. On the Ubuntu Planet, I have been reading MathiasZ's puppet/cloud list. One of the series has been managing EC2 systems using Puppet http://ubuntumathiaz.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/using-puppet-in-uecec2-puppet… http://ubuntumathiaz.wordpress.com/2010/03/25/using-puppet-in-uecec2-automa… http://ubuntumathiaz.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/using-puppet-in-uecec2-node-c… http://ubuntumathiaz.wordpress.com/2010/04/08/using-puppet-in-uecec2-improv… I think we could do similar to deal with Fedora systems on EC2. Need to work out how/what still.. -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp. Or what's a heaven for? -- Robert Browning

Meeting in an hour, allegedly :)

I've been buried, and I haven't seen any progress on the list -- but I wouldn't mind having an informal meeting on #fedora-meeting at our regular time to touch base on image creation. Where are we? What more do we know about the brokenness of the images we've created? Who's actively working on a fix? Is there anything we can do to chase? So that's my agenda. If you're on #fedora-meeting in... 50 minutes, we'll talk. :) --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free.

Meeting today: useful?
by Greg DeKoenigsberg 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

We have a meeting scheduled at 5pm eastern daylight time today, and I want to get a sense of how useful we think it will be. At last week's meeting, Bob McWhirter and David Huff both agreed to use their respective toolchains to build a Fedora 12 image for EC2, and to document their results; the goal is to figure out the best way of making EC2 image creation an automagic part of the build process, and this is essentially an evaluation. Unfortunately, both had very similar problems with their F12 builds, and Justin Forbes is pursuing these issues with Amazon. Which means there's not much more to talk about on that front: we're blocked until we can work with Amazon to figure out why we're seeing breakage. We've got the meeting time reserved, but I don't want to squander anyone's time. If there are issues that anyone wants to discuss, I'm happy to have the meeting -- if even one person sends agenda items, I'm willing to convene a meeting. But if not, I'm also happy not to convene a meeting. :) --g -- Educational materials should be high-quality, collaborative, and free. Visit http://opensource.com/education and join the conversation.
