Projects in the topic virtualization

HMC support to openstack an 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. Updated about 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
PowerPC appliances deploy tool an idea by k0da We need a tool similar to suseviclient for deploying powerpc appliances. Updated about 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
libvirt TCK a project by jfehlig The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK. Currently the libvirt TCK is not fully packaged for SUSE and the test suite itself contains a lot of Redhat-isms. Mike Latimer and Jim Fehlig will work on properly packaging libvirt TCK (it has a LOT of perl dependencies) and patching it to work better with SUSE virtualization hosts and SUSE guest operating systems. It has traditionally focused on the KVM hypervisor, so there might be some progress made to make it work better with Xen too. Updated about 7 years ago. No love.
Cloud rearrangement: VM migration path-finding an 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 Updated almost 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Protect disk devices from concurrent use in the libvirt libxl hypervisor driver a project by jfehlig The libvirt qemu hypervisor driver has long supported protecting disk devices from concurrent use via libvirt's lock manager interface. Xen used to support the same functionality in the old xend toolstack, but dropped support in the new libxl toolstack. The Xen community decided, rightly so, that this functionality is best provided by a higher-level management tool, e.g. libvirt. This project aims to provide integration between libvirt's lock manager and the libxl hypervisor driver, essentially reintroducing support for disk device protection in the Xen management stack. Updated about 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Native Xen support for RADOS Block devices a project by jfehlig libvirt+Xen should support the qdisk (qemu) rbd backend, providing native access to block devices hosted on Ceph clusters. Adding this support to the libvirt+Xen toolstack will also improve interoperability with SUSE Enterprise Storage. Updated about 7 years ago. No love.
Check p2v tool (guestfs) a project by aginies Test the latest release of guesfs tools, and chech new p2v. Package it for openSUSE My branch Updated about 7 years ago. No love.
Improve openvswitch+libvirt+Xen a project by jfehlig openvswitch is used by cloud infrastructure (e.g. OpenStack) and software defined networking stacks, often in conjunction with KVM and Xen compute resources. When creating workloads on KVM compute resources, orchestration services can specify the openvswitch interfaceid and port-profile of the workload's virtual interface(s). E.g. orchestration can create workload configuration containing Updated about 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Easily Deploy an HA cluster in Virtual Machines a project by aginies GOAL Updated about 5 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
Add VirtualBox bootloader to openQA an invention by michalnowak In openQA we support various backends which are able to 'host' tests. 'svirt' - one of those backends - is so generic that it allows to conned to a virtualization host via SSH a perform shell commands directly. As VirtualBox has decent command line interface (especially `VBoxManage` command) it shouldn't be that hard to support VirtualBox in openQA's os-autoinst via svirt backend. Updated about 2 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Add SUSE Manager virtualization management capabilities a project by cbosdonnat SUSE Manager can do some virtual machines management, but needs a lot to be complete. This project is about investigating more on that topic. Updated over 4 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
openSUSE Xen Testing (and vice-versa) a project by dfaggioli Currently, the Xen-Project supports automated build-testing/CI via GitLab pipelines, within containers based on: * Debian Updated about 2 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.
Storage War Games a project by jluis When we started brain storming a project for hack week, one of the floated ideas was to remake the 1983 film WarGames, and for lack of available space, a local lot with storage units was proposed. Over the course of the following years, while we planned, we realized that this whole idea would not be the most feasible, but it still felt like we were onto something. Eventually, we settled with keeping the name and changing the scope. Updated about 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Integrate Firecracker (microVMs) with a Cloud Foundry app runtime scheduler a project by tassis Description Firecracker is an open-source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services. Updated about 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 1 follower.
Sandboxed USB Inspection an invention by nguyens Project Description USB devices can be dangerous to read directly from your PC. There are countless stories of PCs being infected (e-g: filesystem encrypted) because a USB device was read without first checking the USB content. But how do you check the device content without having a look at it first?! Updated about 1 year ago. No love. 2 followers.
