Detailed Description

Aeolus is an umbrella for a number of cloud related projects. The projects all come together to create the Conductor, a Web UI and tools for managing cloud instances across heterogeneous clouds. For instance, a user can build and launch instances into EC2, RHEV-M, and Rackspace all from the same UI.

Benefit to Fedora

Allow Fedora to have a hybrid cloud-management stack.

Scope

Get all dependencies into Fedora, and test the project end-to-end.

How To Test

Install all dependencies. Once installed, run "aeolus-configure" as root to configure the system. Once aeolus-configure has completed, login to the host at http://some.host.org/conductor and test the UI end-to-end, including building images, uploading images to specific clouds, and launching instances in the clouds. More information is available at the Aeolus User Documentation page.

User Experience

Aeolus Conductor will allow users to easily create and deploy instances on a variety of cloud backends, all through the same UI.

Dependencies

Many. See Missing Packages.

Contingency Plan

If all of the packages do not make it in time for Fedora-16, we are carrying local packages in Fedorapeople.org repos. Whatever dependencies don't make it for Fedora-16 can get added for Fedora-17.

Release Notes
