We're in the process of deprecating that service. Thank you for the reminder to remove the dead links!

Erethon commented 9 years ago

Forgot to mention, that the goto place for getting help with Synnefo, is our public mailing list synnefo@googlegroups.com

almereyda commented 9 years ago

Thanks to report. Was it underused and overruled by the Google list, or even synnefo going to be deprecated? Just discovered it and consider it a nice interface for the likes for @ecobytes.

It was completely underused as you said, most people prefer to use the mailing list.

or even synnefo going to be deprecated?

Synnefo isn't going to be deprecated, that's for sure :). GRNET is currently using Synnefo to provide over four thousand VMs to the Greek and European academic community through ~okeanos and ~okeanos-global respectively.

We've got a lot of features planned ahead :)

Took a quick look at @ecobytes, I guess Synnefo can fill some of your needs.

Do you have this roadmap public somewhere? Because we're really interested in delivering our Ecobytes Use Case, but only after implementation.

The interest from our side would be to have it running on the latest Debian release, namely Jessie/8, first. Then we could easily approach a federation of community-supported infrastructure. Especially the virtual grouping of resources into projects makes sense for us, as it would allow for community-driven maintenance of pooled resources for protected Commons like @transformap which don't have a central legal entity.

Next step: Containers ;) (Mesos, Rancher, Weave, etc.) One could also skip the Debian 8 part and think about running Synnefo completely containerized, too. This may be a bit of hard work, due to the complexity of OpenStack and your integrations, though.

Some approaches:

Not yet, but will be announced during the next month, targeting the next two or three years. We're in the process of closing our old development cycle and starting a new one, and that includes some bureaucracy.

We'll sure take your suggestions into consideration, feel free to send them to us.

This is a work in progress actually since we'll soon move our datacenters to Jessie ourselves.

We're moving our internal CI infrastructure to containers, and we're considering technologies such as Kubernetes, Mesos, etc. for our production in the future.

This may be a bit of hard work, due to the complexity of OpenStack and your integrations, though.

Note that, Synnefo doesn't actually use any OpenStack components, it just implements OpenStack APIs.
