Cloud Middleware Distribution
A new distribution, called Cloud Middleware Distribution (CMD), will be created:
- it will follow the OpenStack release cycle (6 months)
- CMD is just a new distribution, like UMD, starting from major release number 1, going in parallel with UMD (used for separated grid stuff with bigger release cycles)
- no changes are needed to create a new distribution; composer has been built to support several distributions, but never used so it has just to be tested
- every CMD major release will stick to a specific OpenStack release, for instance:
- CMD1->Kilo
- CMD2->Liberty
- CMD3->(Mitaka)
- OTOH the OpenStack version does not really matter to CMD; the OS supported does (for path naming etc)
- CMD1 will support CentOS7 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- all the products must be available both as CentOS7 and Ubuntu packages
- OpenNebula tools can be hosted by CMD, using the latest major release available
- no changes have been requested to the regular UMD workflow, so verifications, SR etc will be allowed and performed as well with no deveopment needed on the repository side
- two or more versions of CMD will be distributed in parallel, following the need of sites to stick with their installations
- after creating the first CMD1 we will use the experience to create a procedure to create the next version of CMD to make it straightforward every 6 months
