Detailed Description
testcloud was created because manually booting a cloud image locally can be a pain. It handles downloading the image, spoofing cloud-init metadata as well as providing an ssh_config to easily connect to the booted instance. What was usually several different steps to get an image to boot locally is now just one:
testcloud instance create <name of instance> -u <url for qcow2 image>
It currently supports only the Fedora Cloud Base image, and work is ongoing to support the Atomic host image.
Benefit to Fedora
Provides a simple means for Fedora users and developers to easily:
- Learn about Cloud (if you don't have access to a cloud provider)
- Test Fedora Cloud releases
- Locally test your cloud application
- Lowers the barrier to get involved with Fedora cloud efforts
