openSUSE Xen Testing (and vice-versa)
a project by dfaggioli
Updated over 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.

Currently, the Xen-Project supports automated build-testing/CI via GitLab pipelines, within containers based on:

  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • Centos

So, no openSUSE. The idea would be --after having understood what GitLab pipelines and jobs really are-- to add the logic for having openSUSE there.

Currently, the Xen-Project own CI loop (Osstest) does some build and functional testing of Xen using, as guest-OSes:

  • Debian
  • Windows
  • RHEL
  • FreeBSD

So, no openSUSE. The idea would be to add (and contribute upstream) test cases that implement testing openSUSE as guest.

I recently discovered this. Apparently, it supports:

  • Debian
  • Fedora

So, no openSUSE. The idea would be --after having figured out what Vagrant actually is-- to add support for openSUSE VMs.

    Q2Boot - A handy QEMU VM launcher by amanzini

    Description

    Q2Boot (Qemu Quick Boot) is a command-line tool that wraps QEMU to provide a streamlined experience for launching virtual machines. It automatically configures common settings like KVM acceleration, virtio drivers, and networking while allowing customization through both configuration files and command-line options.

    The project originally was a personal utility in D, now recently rewritten in idiomatic Go. It lives at repository https://github.com/ilmanzo/q2boot

    Goals

    Improve the project, testing with different scenarios , address issues and propose new features. It will benefit of some basic integration testing by providing small sample disk images.

    Extracting, converting and importing VMs from Nutanix into SUSE Virtualization by emendonca

    Description

    The idea is to delve into understanding Nutanix AHV internals on how it stores and runs VMs, and how to extract them in an automated way for importing into a KVM-compatible hypervisor, like SUSE Virtualization/Harvester. The final product will be not only be documentation, but a working prototype that can be used to automate the process.

    Goals

    1) document how to create a simple lab with NutaniX AHV community edition 2) determine the basic elements we need to interact with 3) determine what are the best paths to grab the images through, balancing speed and complexity 4) document possible issues and create a roadmap for tackling them 4) should we adapt an existing solution or implement a new one? 5) implement the solution!
