Dear CentOS gsoc mentors,
my name is Marios and I am a student from Greece. I participated in gsoc last year in LTTng project and I am interested in participating again this year in the CentOS project.
I found the projects you proposed extremely interesting and I am really confused which one to choose to make my proposal for. So, I would like to ask some clarifying questions, which are groupped per project. I address my questions here but I am more than willing to talk with the equivalent mentors in IRC or mail. My questions are:
- Centos cloud storage
- Is glusterfs a prerequisite for the program? Is it possible to use
another fs, eg CephFS, because I am familiar with the Ceph architecture, since I have partially worked with that.
Yes, GlusterFS has been chosen for this GSoC project. There are couple of reasons for it. One of the reason is that in Storage SIG Ceph packages are not available till now.
However GlusterFS architecture is easy to pick-up. If you are interested I can point to getting started documents. I think 1 or 2 days is enough to have a basic understanding of GlusterFS.
Thanks, Lala
- Lightweight Cloud instance contextualisation tool
Can I have some more details about this project especially as far as the lightwieght part is concerned. As I imagine this tool will not be CentOS specific, right?
- Xen based Hypervisor in a Box
According to the ideas page "the aim of this task is to build an installer instance". So, will the result be like a live CD where the user can try different CentOS versions, or a new instance that from the time is installed xen is running and several CentOS VMs can be initiated.
- App to trim containers
Is this project about docker containers or containers in general? Are there any specific ideas and tools in mind behind that project or it is more of a research project?
- Cloud in a box
Is there any prerequisite about the cloud software that should be used? There are a lot of choices eg OpenStack, oVirt, synnefo
As you can understand from my questions I am more interested in cloud and virtualization projects and CentOS is among the few gsoc projects that offer me this chance.
I am looking forward your reply.
