Add support for Amazon S3 cloud backed block devices to istgt / Elastoan idea by dmdiss Elasto is a cloud library and client utility for managing and manipulating cloud storage objects via REST. Functionality was recently added to istgt so that it can expose an Azure storage blob for access via iSCSI, it does so using Elasto's file API. |
Add Ceph support for Azure RESTful protocolsan idea by dmdiss Microsoft Azure offers a bunch of interesting RESTful protocols, providing access to objects (Block Blobs, similar to S3 Objects), disk images (Page Blobs) and file systems (Azure Files). The underlying services seem to map pretty closely to RADOS, RBD and CephFS respectively, so adding support for these protocols to Ceph, despite being a lot of work, should be relatively straightforward. I've already worked on implementing a C client for these protocols via Elasto, so it might be worth reusing the same code in implementing the server functionality atop the public librados / librbd / libcephfs libraries. The other option would be to use civetweb/rgw, which is already embedded within Ceph for S3/SWIFT gateway support. |
Differentiate Microsoft virtualization types (WSL1/WSL2/Azure/Hyper-V) in SUSEConnecta project by wstephenson People are interested in Linux on Windows via WSL, especially given the new fully virtualized Linux kernel in WSL 2. It's interesting to know whether registered SUSE installations might be running in WSL as opposed to other Microsoft virtualization platforms, but the current approach taken by SUSEConnect (the client for SUSE Customer Center) does not permit this. |
