Description

This Hackweek project aims to enhance Warewulf’s capabilities by adding iSCSI support, enabling both remote boot and flexible mounting of iSCSI devices within the filesystem. The project, which already handles NFS, DHCP, and iPXE, will be extended to offer iSCSI services as well, centralizing all necessary services for provisioning and booting cluster nodes.

Goals

  • iSCSI Boot Option: Enable nodes to boot directly from iSCSI volumes
  • Mounting iSCSI Volumes within the Filesystem: Implement support for mounting iSCSI devices at various points within the filesystem

Resources

https://warewulf.org/

Steps

  • add generic framework to handle remote ressource/filesystems to wwctl [ ]
  • add iSCSI handling to wwctl configure [ ]
  • add iSCSI to dracut files [ ]
  • test it [ ]

    Create a go module to wrap happy-compta.fr by cbosdonnat

    Description

    https://happy-compta.fr is a tool for french work councils simple book keeping. While it does the job, it has no API to work with and it is tedious to enter loads of operations.

    Goals

    Write a go client module to be used as an API to programmatically manipulate the tool.

    Writing an example tool to load data from a CSV file would be good too.


    Create a Cloud-Native policy engine with notifying capabilities to optimize resource usage by gbazzotti

    Description

    The goal of this project is to begin the initial phase of development of an all-in-one Cloud-Native Policy Engine that notifies resource owners when their resources infringe predetermined policies. This was inspired by a current issue in the CES-SRE Team where other solutions seemed to not exactly correspond to the needs of the specific workloads running on the Public Cloud Team space.

    The initial architecture can be checked out on the Repository listed under Resources.

    Among the features that will differ this project from other monitoring/notification systems:

    • Pre-defined sensible policies written at the software-level, avoiding a learning curve by requiring users to write their own policies
    • All-in-one functionality: logging, mailing and all other actions are not required to install any additional plugins/packages
    • Easy account management, being able to parse all required configuration by a single JSON file
    • Eliminate integrations by not requiring metrics to go through a data-agreggator

    Goals

    • Create a minimal working prototype following the workflow specified on the documentation
    • Provide instructions on installation/usage
    • Work on email notifying capabilities

    SUSE Health Check Tools by roseswe

    SUSE HC Tools Overview

    A collection of tools written in Bash or Go 1.24++ to make life easier with handling of a bunch of tar.xz balls created by supportconfig.

    Background: For SUSE HC we receive a bunch of supportconfig tar balls to check them for misconfiguration, areas for improvement or future changes.

    Main focus on these HC are High Availability (pacemaker), SLES itself and SAP workloads, esp. around the SUSE best practices.

    Goals

    • Overall improvement of the tools
    • Adding new collectors
    • Add support for SLES16

    terraform-provider-feilong by e_bischoff

    Project Description

    People need to test operating systems and applications on s390 platform. While this is straightforward with KVM, this is very difficult with z/VM.

    IBM Cloud Infrastructure Center (ICIC) harnesses the Feilong API, but you can use Feilong without installing ICIC(see this schema).

    What about writing a terraform Feilong provider, just like we have the terraform libvirt provider? That would allow to transparently call Feilong from your main.tf files to deploy and destroy resources on your z/VM system.

    Goal for Hackweek 23

    I would like to be able to easily deploy and provision VMs automatically on a z/VM system, in a way that people might enjoy even outside of SUSE.

    My technical preference is to write a terraform provider plugin, as it is the approach that involves the least software components for our deployments, while remaining clean, and compatible with our existing development infrastructure.

    Goals for Hackweek 24

    Feilong provider works and is used internally by SUSE Manager team. Let's push it forward!

    Let's add support for fiberchannel disks and multipath.

    Goals for Hackweek 25

    Modernization, maturity, and maintenance: support for SLES 16 and openTofu, new API calls, fixes...

    Updatecli Autodiscovery supporting WASM plugins by olblak

    Description

    Updatecli is a Golang Update policy engine that allow to write Update policies in YAML manifest. Updatecli already has a plugin ecosystem for common update strategies such as automating Dockerfile or Kubernetes manifest from Git repositories.

    This is what we call autodiscovery where Updatecli generate manifest and apply them dynamically based on some context.

    Obviously, the Updatecli project doesn't accept plugins specific to an organization.

    I saw project using different languages such as python, C#, or JS to generate those manifest.

    It would be great to be able to share and reuse those specific plugins

    During the HackWeek, I'll hang on the Updatecli matrix channel

    https://matrix.to/#/#Updatecli_community:gitter.im

    Goals

    Implement autodiscovery plugins using WASM. I am planning to experiment with https://github.com/extism/extism

    To build a simple WASM autodiscovery plugin and run it from Updatecli

    OpenRC in openSUSE by jimedrand

    Description

    I have been using openSUSE for 3 years and I am just seen the systemd as init system. Actually, I want to make openSUSE with supports to another init such as OpenRC init that I'm always using it in another distros, and I was think, "what about if I'm including OpenRC init in openSUSE and give anyone as second way for them who don't want to use systemd?", and I'm curious about that. That's why I'm opening these.

    Goals

    Giving OpenRC support for Tumbleweed first, then going in Leap in future if possible.
