Maas weekly checkpoint meeting nodes - 2012-03-20

 

Attendees: flacoste, mrevell, Daviey

Actions from last week
----------------------

   * [ACTION] flacoste to email the Juju list to get status on
     constraints, colocation (subordinate charm), and reserved
     instances.

    DONE. Juju constraints are kind of in, there is a work-around for
    reserved instances (empty charm) and colocation is not scheduled.

Deploy a node through Juju
--------------------------

    * Still having problems with getting the juju provider working.
      See Julian's email to the private MAAS list and the juju list.
    * Gavin is having trouble to get a vdenv environment working to
      debug further.
    * [ACTION] flacoste to coordinate with the Juju folks to get some
      help.


List and select Maas from the installer (Avahi)
-----------------------------------------------

    * Server now publishes name over avahi
    * Client Avahi code is working (will go into maas-enlist).
    * Andres is integrating that into the installer.
    * We should have proof-of-concept today.

Installing Maas from the CD
---------------------------

    * Main inclusion request has been requested.
    * Lists of dependencies pulled in:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.svg
    * The list has been trimmed already.
    * Jamie Strandboge is working on the security audit.
    * Missing menu to install MAAS server (will need maas in main).
    * Not sure if MAAS will be on the CD for beta2.
    * If misses the deadline, we'll spin a remix to test next week.
    * Package has all features:
        * Has txlongpoll working.
        * Has cobbler integration compled.
    * Removed import of ISOs at install time.
        * Should add a message after login if no profiles are installed.
        * Add a message to package installation about the URL / user and
          profiles.
    * Polish missing: run things under a dedicated maas user.

Overview of the MaaS cluster
----------------------------

  * Huw landed initial graphs branch hooked up. Working on adding
    animations, mousehovers and other polish.
  * Raphel will add the view/edit node page.

Continuous Integration System
-----------------------------

  * Still waiting on GSA/WebOps to set-up the system.
  * Diogo has MAAS/Cobbler running on one of the machine in the server team
    lab, but having trouble getting the nodes to talk to them. Working
    with IS to sort this out.

Wishlist for the future
-----------------------

Daviey has started an initial list of features to consider for the
future. It's available at:
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1GNQTC6RO5GmUWzzCL1jtup33cuuAWP9zKYC9QMQnWck/edit

Daviey raises that it would be nice to have another experienced MAAS
engineer dedicated to the whole week for the MAAS implementation
discussions.
