joshuamckentyanyone have opinions or feedback on http://wiki.openstack.org/RemnantServers12:03
joshuamckentyhmm, I guess it's quite early in the US, still12:03
sorenjoshuamckenty: I like the idea.12:06
*** justinsheehy has quit IRC12:06
sorenjoshuamckenty: Other than that, there's not much in there yet to have strong opinions on :)12:06
redbochmouel: you want us to run swift's servers in laptop mode? :)12:07
*** silassewell has joined #openstack12:07
chmouelyeah we probably don't want to have the full laptop-mode features enabled :)12:08
sorenjoshuamckenty: I puts some restrictions on our discussions about some other stuff.. For instance, some of the talks we had about scheduling didn't necessarily require a separate scheduler.12:08
joshuamckentyah, k12:09
sorenjoshuamckenty: so scheduling would just be defined in terms of an algorithm and/or an interface.12:09
*** ctennis has joined #openstack12:10
*** ctennis has joined #openstack12:10
sorenjoshuamckenty: E.g. a request would come in, and the scheduling mechanism might just be "broadcast it to all nodes and whichever one bothers to respond, wins".12:10
sorenjoshuamckenty: That's a contrived example, of course :)12:10
joshuamckentysure, but feasible12:10
sorenjoshuamckenty: To some scale, certainly.12:10
*** justinsheehy has joined #openstack12:12
*** joshuamckenty has quit IRC12:12
sorenjoshuamckenty: Were you expecting that..12:12
sorenoh.12:12
*** joshuamckenty has joined #openstack12:13
sorenjoshuamckenty: Were you expecting that attempting to launch these instances would be rejected if there weren't enough capacity or would you expect it to be queued.12:13
soren?12:13
joshuamckentyfor Remnants?12:13
sorenYes.12:13
joshuamckentyI think of them as a permanent queue12:13
joshuamckentye.g., they'll take up capacity whenever it's available12:14
*** codejunkie has quit IRC12:14
joshuamckentyand when the instances get terminated (to run dedicated instances), the request will continue to sit around12:14
sorenOh, so they'll get restarted once there's capacity again?12:14
sorenInteresting.12:14
joshuamckentyright12:14
*** jsgotangco has joined #openstack12:14
joshuamckentyit fits the NASA use case really well, since they always have big jobs that need as much horsepower as possible, but aren't urgent12:15
sorenI understand it might work for NASA, but for Rackspace, I'm less sure.12:15
sorenUnless, of course, there's some sort of rotation in the scheduling.12:15
sorenYeah, that would probably solve things.12:16
sorenI'm just thinking the queue very quickly would grow to a point where new request just never would get serviced. For AWS this is simpler, because their whole instance paradigm defines and ensures rotation.12:18
sorenHmm.. I guess instances could even get killed to service other requests from this queue (rather than only rotate when "dedicated instances" are to be run).12:19
* soren is just thinking out loud12:20

*** tonywolf has joined #openstack12:23
*** Podilarius has left #openstack12:25
joshuamckentyah, good thoughts12:25
joshuamckentysorry, am also leading a training session on TDD in Zurich12:25
* joshuamckenty weeps that RL intrudes so brutally on happy IRC12:25
redboI don't think that's a queue anymore12:25
joshuamckentywe could make remnant requests expire after a few days unless renewed12:25
notmynameso my high-cpu, low-priority job would have to be rescheduled every few days unless I renewed the request (assuming it didn't complete yet)?12:27
joshuamckentyit's a concept12:30
joshuamckentyit would force sharing of the system12:30
joshuamckentyand your batch job management system could handle renewing?12:30
redboDo hypervisors make it possible to create a VM that has little to no dedicated CPU time, and just gets whatever is left over?  It'd be interesting to have like a hadoop VM on every machine, and it can use whatever slack is in the cluster.12:32
notmynamesure, but it seems (to me, at least) an extra and perhaps unnecessary requirement to put on the end user12:32
ttxsoren: in an ISP setting, isn't fluctuating price the way you force sharing of the system ?12:41
termiemtaylor: any chance i can bother you to dig into my mailing list issue further?12:45
sorenttx: Normally, yes.12:53
sorenttx: However, since these are even cheaper than regular instances, I prophecise that people will schedule enough of them to saturate your capacity.12:54
sorenI've probably got 3-4 of the smallest instances Rackspace provides running that I could probably just turn off if I'd bother using an hour to consolidate their jobs, but because they're so cheap, I don't care.12:54
ttxsoren: how is AWS "instance paradigm" solving that ?12:55
sorenMaking them even cheaper will exacerbate the problem.12:55
sorenttx: When your instance dies, it's gone.12:55
sorenttx: So whoever is next in queue gets their turn.12:55
ttxah! so it's the "restart" ability that kills it.12:55
sorenttx: Yeah.12:56
sorenMaybe the API to start them could say how long you wanted them to run for.12:56

sorenAnd they could get the first 10 minutes for free for bootstrapping purposes or whatnot.12:57
*** maximilien has joined #openstack12:58
sorenSo keeping them running indefinitely would actually require effort.12:58
sorenMinimal effort, but still effort.12:58
ttxsoren: I'm sure you can plug some economics that would solve it, at least in the ISP scenario. That doesn't solve the "fairness" in a lab setting though.12:59
sorenttx: An auction of sorts, perhaps?13:00
soren"I want 4 cores for 100 hours, and I'm willing to pay $7 for it."13:01
sorenOnly when there aren't anyone else around willing to pay more, you get your stuff scheduled.13:01
ttxthat's kinda how spot instances work13:02
sorenAh :)13:02
sorenGo figure.13:02
ttx(I think) :)13:02
ttxbut tha's an interesting problem.13:03
ttxI wonder if there is a "one model fits all" solution, or if it should be pluggable.13:03
sorenVery likely.13:04
soren(The latter, that is)13:04
*** rajijoom has joined #openstack13:10

_0x44soren: Before Destro joined RS, Jared and I were doing a lot of research/planning for the new cloud-servers arch, and kept coming back to needing one. Everytime we'd get rid of it, one of us would say something like that and end up needing it again.13:19
pvoglobal datastore or regional?13:22
pvoglobal to a group of clusters? or global as in the dictionary sense?13:23
_0x44In Jared's and my design, it was eventually consistent and global across regions.13:24
pvoyea, I've been having that discussion as well.... though we can't seem to find the need to have the state of one instance needed in another region13:24
pvoother than reporting or whatnot.13:25
sorenpvo: we're talking about http://wiki.openstack.org/RemnantServers13:25
sorenpvo: These are instance futures, essentially.13:25
sorenpvo: they don't live anywhere, /yet/.13:25
pvoright, I've talked with jesse about them13:25
pvoI know what they are and why they want them13:25
pvobut we're talking about location of data across regions and finding out state about those, right?13:26
_0x44Is there a reason you wouldn't want instance futures against multiple regions?13:26
_0x44The "global datastore" in this case, could just be a queue of instance futures from which each region could pull13:27
*** gundlach has quit IRC13:29
pvodifferent regions will have different costs, right?13:30
pvolon power is going to be higher than power in say, Tucson13:30
_0x44Sure, but it's not in Texas v. Chicago13:32
pvothan is RS specific.13:32
_0x44And the way to prevent that from happening is to have the remnant request on our side specify a maximum price the customer is willing to pay.13:32
sorenDifferent regions /can/ have different costs, yes.13:32
sorenThey might happen to be the same, but needn't be.13:33
_0x44If a region's remnant costs exceed that, it could ignore the request.13:33
_0x44And the cost of a remnant would probably increase on our side as a region/cluster filled, because there would be less available space for remnants.13:34
mcgurrinthis looks kind of lie the AWS model which I think is actually auto biding based13:40
*** anm_ has joined #openstack13:41
*** Phil_FL has joined #openstack13:41
mcgurrinthat might be the way to go, what additional cost is there to have an extra VM running in spare capacity?  I think there is none, just have people bid for extra space like with ebay autobidding with some very small minimum price13:41

alekibangohello. i am reading about nova and i am curious, is there some effort to create web interface for the public api servers?16:43
alekibangoand 2) what are guest agents good for? do i need to install something on guest?16:44
_0x44alekibango: We use the guest agent for live configuration of the VM, they're not required in nova16:45
alekibangoaha, so its possible to manage guests somehow ?16:46
_0x44In nova's current state, guest VM configuration only happens on instantiation. I think we're trying to get live configuration via the agents by our first release, and then non-live reconfiguration via guestfs/whatever later.16:49

gundlachvish1: I followed the instructions at http://wiki.openstack.org/InstallationNova20100729 on Ubuntu and all went well except that nova-compute required libvirt (unless I said --connection-type=fake).  should i add installation of libvirt to the instructions?16:59

jamiewquiet channel :) excited about this announcement last week, I have been experimenting building a small private cloud for my company with Eucalyptus19:52
creihttoo quiet...19:53
creiht:)19:53
* jsmith stirs things up a bit19:54
alekibangojamiew: its only illusion. this channel is really responsive, when something is up...19:57
alekibangojamiew: did you like eucalyptus?19:57
jamiewit was fine when I thought there were no other options ;)19:57
alekibangoimho java is pure suckage... and imho  walrus is not really scalable19:57
jamiewyeah I am very glad OpenStack is python19:58
* alekibango loves python (see python love story)19:58
* creiht is actually quite surprised at the lack of language hate19:58
alekibangocreiht: most pythoners hate java as much as we hate pascal19:58
creihthehe19:59
*** aliguori has joined #openstack19:59
ianwellerjsmith: stop that19:59
jsmithianweller: Oh yeah -- that's your job!19:59
ianwellerdamn right19:59
davidX-alekibango: i had a very strange experience with it19:59
alekibangodavidX-: with eucalyptus?19:59
davidX-java would bomb and was told i had to reboot each node after java bombed on the "cloud controller" node (UEC) for everything to behave properly20:00
davidX-i stepped away after that..20:00
jsmithianweller: Speaking of which -- did you have a chance to review that package?20:00
davidX-i never really looked into why that is20:00
mtayloroh yuck. show's how much I pay attention - didn't really realize that eucalyptus was java20:00
ianwellerjsmith: haven't yet, hoping to tomorrow morning20:01
* ianweller has been running around in circles all weekend20:01
alekibangoianweller: use teamwork to break those circles20:03
codejunkiejust curious, are there any SOA distributed components within open stack? if so, how are the operations kept atomic?20:05
*** maximilien_ has joined #openstack20:06
redbothat word... it burns!20:06
creihthaha20:06
alekibangodavidX-: i looked also at niftyname, cloud.com and other cloud technologies. i was about to write my own. But it looks like openstack saved me from doing that... lol20:06
jamiewalekibango: did you look into OpenNebula at all?20:07
jamiewthe survey of what's out there has been kind of tricky20:07
alekibangojust one eye :D20:07
*** maximilien_ has quit IRC20:08
creihtcodejunkie: I'm not SOA certified, so I'm afraid I can not answer your question :)20:08
davidX-alekibango: cloud.com doesn't seem too bad20:08
alekibangojamiew: i like the feel of extendability of openstack20:08
alekibangothe code looks more like my own20:09
jamiewyeah ditto. And I like Rackspace. And NASA :)20:09
alekibangoeasier to get through20:09
alekibangowell i dont like nasa much :) they have really strange logo... but they do nice software, thats sure...20:09
jamiewthey got spaceships man!! spaceships!!20:10
alekibangoi have few spaceships on my desk right now20:10
alekibangoso what20:10
alekibango:D20:10
jamiewhaha20:10
codejunkieme either, but i get the jist. just wondering how transactions are handled in openstack across distributed components, if there in fact distributed components.20:10
notmynamecodejunkie: are you referring to swift (storage) or nova (compute)?20:11
notmynameor in general?20:11
codejunkiewas just wondering in general20:11
alekibangojamiew:  about cloud.com - if they would opensource all the code, i would go with them. but theirs community edition is not good enough for me20:12
jamiewah yes, the ol Enterprise Edition >:|20:13
alekibango... i like the web interface - i need similar for openstack20:13
alekibangodavidX-: that line about cloud was meant for you20:13
*** [1]omar has joined #openstack20:14
davidX-well, i just figured out today is ex vmops folks20:14
davidX-:D20:14
alekibangoenterprise edition is good for spaceships - not here on earth20:14
creihtcodejunkie: I think the easiest way to answer your question (at least for swift) is that we went out of our way to not have distributed transactions20:15
*** allsystemsarego has quit IRC20:15
notmynameI think NASA even has a spaceship named "enterprise"20:16
codejunkiei see, thanks :)20:16
notmynames/has/had20:16
jsmithThey did -- it's now in the Smithsonian20:17
alekibangocloud technology is getting commoditized. smart move with openstack  :D20:17
davidX-it's interesting and an impressive move for rackspace.20:18

alekibangocombining openstack with http://deltacloud.org/  could give web management of public clouds, right?  this might be interesting20:20
cwnotmyname: OV-101 was named Enterprise after a whole slew of trekkies had a nergasm and pushed for the name20:20

notmynameIIRC, the first nuclear sub was named Nautilus (from Verne's 20000 Leagues Under the Sea). I think it's cool to name stuff for science fiction once that stuff becomes reality20:22
*** rnewson has joined #openstack20:23
alekibangoi was reading that book when i was 8 or 1020:23

alekibangobut most modern scifi works are scary when you see what can and will be done..20:27

alekibangomanbearpig was fiction. now spidergoat is reality20:28

alekibangosingularity will be here soon20:29
alekibangoalong with hive mentality of many people20:29
alekibangowell no need to read scifi anymore :D20:30

jc_smithdoes nova support windows2k3/2k8 guests?22:08
*** miclorb has quit IRC22:09
_0x44jc_smith: Not currently.22:11
anotherjessejc_smith: eventually - there are technical & license issues which meant we (ansolabs) didn't prioritize it yet22:11
anotherjesse_0x44: you worked on the windows guest agent right?22:11
_0x44anotherjesse: No, I'm working on the linux agent.22:11
_0x44I just presented them together.22:11
anotherjessejc_smith: so rackspace has a windows agent that works with xen - which nova will support soon-ish22:12
jc_smithwhat does the agent do? gather statistics and run commands?22:12
_0x44jc_smith: Just configuration22:13
anotherjesseit is a solution to the technical problem of how you set passwords, ...22:13
jc_smithsome of the systems I've worked on in the past had to inject sysprep files with license codes and passwords, resize NTFS, drop in appropriate paravirt drivers, etc22:13
_0x44And KMS activation22:13
anotherjesseunlike linux where you can shove a ssh key into .ssh/authorized_keys22:13
jc_smithI see, so the password set it does in the agent22:13
jc_smithyeah, I did that with sysprep, but an agent works22:14
jc_smithis AMI the only source format for VM images?22:14
anotherjessethere is a patch to use raw disks22:15
anotherjesseand AMI is a very simplistic format - it is a set of raw partition images - disk, ramdisk, kernel22:15
jc_smithpartimage-ng has an interesting format that is file system aware, its like one step above raw22:15
anotherjesselooking forward to https://code.launchpad.net/~justin-fathomdb/nova/raw-disk-images landing22:16
*** dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates22:18
jc_smithdoes the windows agent communicate over the network or through serial port?22:21
dendrobatesjc_smith: right now xenstore22:22
_0x44jc_smith: It communicates over the xenstore22:22
dendrobates_0x44: haha beat you.22:22
* _0x44 shakes a fist.22:22
jc_smithhence why things need to change with kvm, ah :)22:23
_0x44I suggested a contentious, though hypervisor agnostic way of having the agents communicate with the host22:23
_0x44Just throw another interface on the host bridge22:24
jc_smithwe had some crazy ideas about running ppp through serial port to the host22:24
dendrobatesjc_smith: I am hopeful we can use vmchannel on kvm, but I;ve never used it before22:24

jc_smithI wish I had some more lab machines so I could get more hands on with nova22:25
jc_smithI think I will soon22:26
anotherjesseit should work inside of virtualization if you use simple/flat networking and qemu22:26
jc_smithI'm reading the docs, but its hard to really retain things until you seem them in action doing useful things22:26
jc_smithI have it on a vm, thats true I could use qemu22:26
anotherjessemost of the time we don't even use real virtualization - since most of the work is about the meta-data22:27
anotherjesseduring development that is22:28
jc_smithis there a way to make a new image from an existing VM, or snapshot?22:28
anotherjesseyou can use bundling from inside the guest22:29
jc_smithI see22:30
