Hi,
First, congrats to the centos community on the recent development. Reading the call for SIG, there is definitely interest from CloudStack to participate and create a ClouStack centOS variant for both instances and head/hypervisor nodes. Our default image template is already a centos template and our best quick start guide is based on CentOS. We also have a community run yum repo for all our packages.
I see interest to create a Cloud Image for CloudStack clouds as well as creating variants for our management server and our hypervisor setup.
I will be at the Dojo on January 31st and would be happy to discuss further.
Cheers,
-Sebastien Apache CloudStack PMC member

Sounds good, I just noticed that the CI server for CloudStack is also doing the test runs on CentOS already!
Do you have a view on the idea of a single Cloud SIG, with participation from various projects being able to build various Variants ?
And finally, getting a mile ahead of myself already, do you have the possibility of running CloudStack from livemedia ?

We've got the Cloud Images hacksession for CloudStack already setup at the dojo ( http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2014 ); maybe we can use time there to host a face2face Cloud Image SIG as well.
( btw, I am assuming there is momentum behind the idea of splitting the Cloud Infra from Cloud Instance/Image efforts, it seems to make sense in my head )
regards and welcome to the larger CentOS Ecosystem

My personal view is that it would seem strange to have one SIG per project, a single cloud SIG will require coordination efforts amongst project to agree on a somewhat common framework for build. We could probably start with a single cloud SIG to discuss and identify requirements/issues and then see if a split is necessary.
From a user standpoint it would be great to be able to choose an official CentOS distro that packages one preferred Cloud IaaS solution.
And finally, getting a mile ahead of myself already, do you have the possibility of running CloudStack from live media
We are not doing it right now, but it should be do-able. Easiest would probably be a live version of our Devcloud (single image that uses nested virt to simulate a full cloud).
?

Huge +1 on this. Better to start united and split later if necessary. This seems better for everyone, and particularly for the folks deploying hybrid clouds on CentOS - to have a single place to go for information, advice, and solutions.
