HMC support to openstackan invention by k0da Currently compute supports only IVM managed pSeries machines. In that case machines are not managed for central place. There shouldn't be a big deal to implement HMC support as IVM commands are pretty much similar to HMC. |

Cloud rearrangement: VM migration path-findingan invention by aspiers There are several use cases where it's beneficial to be able to automatically rearrange VM instances in a cloud into a different |
Cosmic HA for OpenStacka project by mjura Idea is to prepare some advanced template examples for Heat orchestration in OpenStack, which will show: - how HA for VM guests can be used |
SUSE Cloud familiarizationan invention by markkp Use my work supplied workstation to set up SUSE Cloud under KVM and deploy several instances of servers. |
virtio-serial in OpenStacka project by e_bischoff Currently, the usual way to communicate with VM instances in the cloud from outside is ssh. This is okay for most uses, but a) does not work when you mess up with the guest's ability to network and b) requires a free floating IP. |
write mkcloudcloud - a nested cloud setup softwarea project by bmwiedemann In https://github.com/SUSE-Cloud/automation/ we already have mkcloud, which can setup a whole SUSE Cloud on a single host for testing. However, it would be cool, if (instead of a single machine) we could use cloud.suse.de with its capability to add extra networks as requested. |
kanku - openstack handleran invention by M0ses kanku make's installation and testing of kiwi images built by OBS very easy. |
Use OpenStack Rally for SUSE Cloud testinga project by evshmarnev OpenStack is, undoubtedly, a really huge ecosystem of cooperative services. Rally is a benchmarking tool that answers the question: “How does OpenStack work at scale?”. To make this possible, Rally automates and unifies multi-node OpenStack deployment, cloud verification, benchmarking & profiling. Rally does it in a pluggable way, making it possible to check whether OpenStack is going to work well on, say, a 1k-servers installation under high load. Thus it can be used as a basic tool for an OpenStack CI/CD system that would continuously improve its SLA, performance, and stability. |
layer3 cloudan idea by bmwiedemann One of the things that make deploying SUSE OpenStack Cloud hard is that it assumes that you have a layer2 network to do DHCP/PXE-boot, run your SDN on etc. |
openSUSE OpenStack Clouda project by bmwiedemann make crowbar+openstack work on openSUSE Leap 42.2 |
Monitor OpenStack with Prometheusan idea by tbechtold Currently there is Monasca which can be used for monitoring an OpenStack cloud. But outside of the OpenStack world, Prometheus seems to be used more often. |
DPHAT: Data Plane Health Assessment Tool For Cloud Networking Technologya project by rtidwell A common challenge for OpenStack and K8S deployments is debugging the network when things go awry. The aim of DPHAT is to provide operators of cloud infrastructure with tooling that can analyze the environment and supply the following: |
Investigate py-spy for OpenStack services profilingan idea by tbechtold py-spy is a python profiler (similar to pyflame (which is unmaintained)). The profiler can be used to create profiling data for running processes. This might be useful to find bottlenecks in OpenStack services. |
