Detailed Description

TODO

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora can be used to build a highly available and scalable AWS-compatible compute/storage cloud.

Scope

The main challenge is in packaging a large number of Java dependencies. There is a list of direct dependencies at Eucalyptus, but it does does contain all transitive build dependencies yet. There will also be some distro integration work, but much of this is happening as part of the upstream packaging and release process.

How To Test

TODO

User Experience

Users will have the ability to build an IaaS system.

Dependencies

Briefly:

• ActiveMQ
• Axiom
• Google Web Toolkit
• HA-JDBC
• Hibernate
• JasperReports
• Mule
• Spring
• Axis2c
• WSDL2C (from Axis2/Java, but may be separated into a fragment package, as Axis2/Java has a huge dependency list)

Contingency Plan

We would punt to F18.
