  • NDS Explorer Design and Implementation
  • 6/22 No decision yet on how to store Environment or Service definition information
  • 6/26 discussion
    
    • use mongodb for store environment information
    • use flat file (not mongo) for service definitions – format of flat file to be proposed by Unknown User (mfelarca)
      • note previous input: ... having service definitions that can be expressed as JSON would be ideal, since that's readily and easily parseable (and constructable) in a fully client-side app.
        
        
• General OpenStack Topics
  
  • 7/6 discussion
    
    • Patrick Mulrooney brought up alternative approaches for interfacing with OpenStack management functionality (what we're calling the management node), and SDSC plans.  Patrick will follow up on the mailing list with links for future reading. 
    • libvirt docker (link?) was also discussed as a potential mechanism to run docker containers without needing CoreOS (thus simplifying the runtime environment).
  • 7/7
    • (prior to 7/7 meeting) Patrick Mulrooney provided API link and openstack component diagram at SDSC
      
      • http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/common/cli_overview.html
        
    • We will discuss next time, but Unknown User (mfreemon) sees a lot of consistency between the OpenStack deployments at NCSA and SDSC
  • 7/10
    • Unknown User (mfreemon) mentions that the production OpenStack cluster at NCSA (nebula) is going into friendly user mode – more details on the discuss list as they become available

    • Unknown User (mfreemon) will find out
