Agama Expert Partitioner by joseivanlopez
Description
Agama is a new Linux installer that will be very likely used for SLES 16.
It offers an UI for configuring the target system (language, patterns, network, etc). One of the more complex sections is the storage configuration, which is going to be revamped. This project consists on exploring the possibility of having something similar to the YaST Expert Partitioner for Agama.
Goals
- Explore different approaches for the storage UI in Agama.

A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied
[comment]: # Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI [comment]: # Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. [comment]: # Inspired by tools like multipass from Canonical to easily and rapidly create one of multiple VMs, I began the development of Harvester CLI. Currently, it works but Harvester CLI needs some love to be up-to-date with Harvester v1.0.2 and needs some bug fixes and improvements as well.
Project Description
Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as:
harvester vm create my-vm --count 5
to create 5 VMs named my-vm-01 to my-vm-05.
Harvester CLI is functional but needs a number of improvements: up-to-date functionality with Harvester v1.0.2 (some minor issues right now), modifying the default behaviour to create an opensuse VM instead of an ubuntu VM, solve some bugs, etc.
Github Repo for Harvester CLI: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli
Done in previous Hackweeks
- Create a Github actions pipeline to automatically integrate Harvester CLI to Homebrew repositories: DONE
- Automatically package Harvester CLI for OpenSUSE / Redhat RPMs or DEBs: DONE
Goal for this Hackweek
The goal for this Hackweek is to bring Harvester CLI up-to-speed with latest Harvester versions (v1.3.X and v1.4.X), and improve the code quality as well as implement some simple features and bug fixes.
Some nice additions might be: * Improve handling of namespaced objects * Add features, such as network management or Load Balancer creation ? * Add more unit tests and, why not, e2e tests * Improve CI * Improve the overall code quality * Test the program and create issues for it
Issue list is here: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli/issues
Resources
The project is written in Go, and using client-go the Kubernetes Go Client libraries to communicate with the Harvester API (which is Kubernetes in fact).

SUSE AI Meets the Game Board by moio
Use tabletopgames.ai’s open source TAG and PyTAG frameworks to apply Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning to two board games of our own design. On an all-green, all-open source, all-AWS stack!
AI + Board Games
Board games have long been fertile ground for AI innovation, pushing the boundaries of capabilities such as strategy, adaptability, and real-time decision-making - from Deep Blue's chess mastery to AlphaZero’s domination of Go. Games aren’t just fun: they’re complex, dynamic problems that often mirror real-world challenges, making them interesting from an engineering perspective.
As avid board gamers, aspiring board game designers, and engineers with careers in open source infrastructure, we’re excited to dive into the latest AI techniques first-hand.
Our goal is to develop an all-open-source, all-green AWS-based stack powered by some serious hardware to drive our board game experiments forward!
Project Goals
Set Up the Stack:
- Install and configure the TAG and PyTAG frameworks on SUSE Linux Enterprise Base Container Images.
- Integrate with the SUSE AI stack for GPU-accelerated training on AWS.
- Validate a sample GPU-accelerated PyTAG workload on SUSE AI.
- Ensure the setup is entirely repeatable with Terraform and configuration scripts, documenting results along the way.
Design and Implement AI Agents:
- Develop AI agents for the two board games, incorporating Statistical Forward Planning and Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques.
- Fine-tune model parameters to optimize game-playing performance.
- Document the advantages and limitations of each technique.
Test, Analyze, and Refine:
- Conduct AI vs. AI and AI vs. human matches to evaluate agent strategies and performance.
- Record insights, document learning outcomes, and refine models based on real-world gameplay.
Technical Stack
- Frameworks: TAG and PyTAG for AI agent development
- Platform: SUSE AI
- Tools: AWS for high-performance GPU acceleration
Why This Project Matters
This project not only deepens our understanding of AI techniques by doing but also showcases the power and flexibility of SUSE’s open-source infrastructure for supporting high-level AI projects. By building on an all-open-source stack, we aim to create a pathway for other developers and AI enthusiasts to explore, experiment, and deploy their own innovative projects within the open-source space.
Our Motivation
We believe hands-on experimentation is the best teacher.
Combining our engineering backgrounds with our passion for board games, we’ll explore AI in a way that’s both challenging and creatively rewarding. Our ultimate goal? To hack an AI agent that’s as strategic and adaptable as a real human opponent (if not better!) — and to leverage it to design even better games... for humans to play!
ClusterOps - Easily install and manage your personal kubernetes cluster by andreabenini
Description
ClusterOps is a Kubernetes installer and operator designed to streamline the initial configuration
and ongoing maintenance of kubernetes clusters. The focus of this project is primarily on personal
or local installations. However, the goal is to expand its use to encompass all installations of
Kubernetes for local development purposes.
It simplifies cluster management by automating tasks and providing just one user-friendly YAML-based
configuration config.yml.
Overview
- Simplified Configuration: Define your desired cluster state in a simple YAML file, and ClusterOps will handle the rest.
- Automated Setup: Automates initial cluster configuration, including network settings, storage provisioning, special requirements (for example GPUs) and essential components installation.
- Ongoing Maintenance: Performs routine maintenance tasks such as upgrades, security updates, and resource monitoring.
- Extensibility: Easily extend functionality with custom plugins and configurations.
- Self-Healing: Detects and recovers from common cluster issues, ensuring stability, idempotence and reliability. Same operation can be performed multiple times without changing the result.
- Discreet: It works only on what it knows, if you are manually configuring parts of your kubernetes and this configuration does not interfere with it you can happily continue to work on several parts and use this tool only for what is needed.
Features
- distribution and engine independence. Install your favorite kubernetes engine with your package
manager, execute one script and you'll have a complete working environment at your disposal.
- Basic config approach. One single
config.ymlfile with configuration requirements (add/remove features): human readable, plain and simple. All fancy configs managed automatically (ingress, balancers, services, proxy, ...). - Local Builtin ContainerHub. The default installation provides a fully configured ContainerHub available locally along with the kubernetes installation. This configuration allows the user to build, upload and deploy custom container images as they were provided from external sources. Internet public sources are still available but local development can be kept in this localhost server. Builtin ClusterOps operator will be fetched from this ContainerHub registry too.
- Kubernetes official dashboard installed as a plugin, others planned too (k9s for example).
- Kubevirt plugin installed and properly configured. Unleash the power of classic virtualization (KVM+QEMU) on top of Kubernetes and manage your entire system from there, libvirtd and virsh libs are required.
- One operator to rule them all. The installation script configures your machine automatically during installation and adds one kubernetes operator to manage your local cluster. From there the operator takes care of the cluster on your behalf.
- Clean installation and removal. Just test it, when you are done just use the same program to uninstall everything without leaving configs (or pods) behind.
Planned features (Wishlist / TODOs)
- Containerized Data Importer (CDI). Persistent storage management add-on for Kubernetes to provide a declarative way of building and importing Virtual Machine Disks on PVCs for
ddflare: (Dyn)DNS management via Cloudflare API in Kubernetes by fgiudici
Description
ddflare is a project started a couple of weeks ago to provide DynDNS management using v4 Cloudflare APIs: Cloudflare offers management via APIs and access tokens, so it is possible to register a domain and implement a DynDNS client without any other external service but their API.
Since ddflare allows to set any IP to any domain name, one could manage multiple A and ALIAS domain records. Wouldn't be cool to allow full DNS control from the project and integrate it with your Kubernetes cluster?
Goals
Main goals are:
- add containerized image for ddflare
- extend ddflare to be able to add and remove DNS records (and not just update existing ones)
- add documentation, covering also a sample pod deployment for Kubernetes
- write a ddflare Kubernetes operator to enable domain management via Kubernetes resources (using kubebuilder)
Available tasks and improvements tracked on ddflare github.
