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
  • only integration components will be included in CMD, not the OpenStack/OpenNebula
  • 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
