The full logs are available at http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-cloud/2010-02-04/fedora-cloud.2010-02-04-20.02.log.html . Meeting summary --------------- * creating current fedora EC2 images (poelcat, 20:04:02) * LINK: http://jboss.org/stormgrind (bobmcw, 20:20:24) * LINK: http://www.jboss.org/stormgrind/projects/boxgrinder.html (mgoldmann, 20:26:43) * LINK: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/StormGrindBoxGrinderDocumentation (mgoldmann, 20:27:01) * Initial goal of project is to provide Useful usable recent Fedora images in Amazon EC2 (Oxf13, 20:35:57) * The initial image will consist of a simple webserver and the tools to add/remove packages from there, plus whatever is necessary for EC2 (Oxf13, 20:36:26) * The initial toolset to accomplish this will be thincrust/appliance-creator, however we will be looking at stormgrind in the future (Oxf13, 20:36:57) * ACTION: huff to deliver a first pass base ks with min packageset extra stuff in post for amazon specific stuff. (Oxf13, 20:38:14) * ACTION: jforbes continues to wrangle a kernel for us to use (Oxf13, 20:38:32) * We have two accounts with amazon (Oxf13, 20:41:46) * one "official" account for "official" spins, and one scratch account for unofficial stuff (Oxf13, 20:42:10) * eucatools is only for uploading the OS image. The kernel is handled differently (Oxf13, 20:48:06) * simple webserver ks -> appliance-creator -> eucatools == OS image in Amazon EC2 (Oxf13, 20:48:47) * vmlinux (not vmlinuz) and initramfs files need to be uploaded (separately) (Oxf13, 20:53:54) * the tool adds nothing material to the image, nothing that is used beyond their infrastructure (Oxf13, 21:01:46) * uploading by the tools counts as the blessing (Oxf13, 21:03:39) * vmlinux/initramfs bundle/upload step is the only part of the process which requires non-free tooling. (Oxf13, 21:05:06) * ACTION: jforbes will document kernel/initramfs upload process (Oxf13, 21:08:29) * ACTION: jforbes will share upload credentials with Fedora kernel developers (Oxf13, 21:08:39) * LINK: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/source/ (Oxf13, 21:19:43) * deliver a README-SOURCES file with the OS version, that points to the release tree from whence the image came (Oxf13, 21:31:12) * to simplify the initial offering, images will only come from GOLD releases, they will not include updates. (Oxf13, 21:32:33) * We have the idea of providing a README-SOURCES with the kernel/initramfs that directs people to the same place the OS image sources are found (Oxf13, 21:35:19) * We have agreed to keep the kernel/initramfs and OS image in lock step as to share the same sources (Oxf13, 21:35:34) * we will have to do something different if we provide updated kernel images (Oxf13, 21:36:00) * in the future, to provide updated kernel/initramfs images with matching kernels, we'll need a tool to discover which initramfs binaries came from which sources (Oxf13, 21:38:29) * ACTION: ask amazon to host srpms on s3 for fedora akis (gregdek, 21:41:48) * ACTION: ask amazon to host update servers for fedora (gregdek, 21:42:03) * Running the image (gregdek, 21:43:30) * Every boot is the "first boot" without use of persistent storage (Oxf13, 21:49:07) * User's SSH key needs to get into the system's root authorized_keys file (Oxf13, 21:49:21) * the tool to stuff user's ssh key goes /inside/ the image (Oxf13, 21:52:16) * LINK: http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-getting-started-with-amazon-ec2 (gregdek, 21:52:43) * Updates (Oxf13, 22:01:55) * ACTION: gregdek will handle getting S3 setup in MirrorManager (Oxf13, 22:02:59) * some would like images to autoupdate, perhaps by force (Oxf13, 22:03:35) * Next Meeting? (Oxf13, 22:06:47) * LINK: http://www.physics.umn.edu/~holms/download-sshkeys (gholms, 22:10:32) * LINK: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cloud_SIG (gregdek, 22:10:36) * ACTION: gregdek will update wiki page with recap, mailing list info, irc info, etc. (gregdek, 22:11:46) * LINK: https://mayhem9.cs.ucsb.edu:8443/ (gholms, 22:13:06) Meeting ended at 22:14:03 UTC.
