Compute Clusters integration for Debian Development - Project Log

ARM Image * ARM image based on current versatilepb kernel works fine and runs under qemu-system-arm. Not much trouble on building it. A nice resource is Aurel32's post.

TODO: - Update Aurel32's howto using latest versions. - Image cloudyfication. Once

Eucalyptus integration * Eucalyptus uses libvirt as an API to interact with QEMU and KVM based images, then creates nc (nodes). * Supported arches are x86 and x86_64. * Supporting ARM should be feasible by hooking up with libvirt hypervisor capabilities that are already present and supported under latest Debian packages. * Once ARM is supported image generation / automatization could be the next step if time allows.

TODO: - DONE: Figure out how to hook up arm support using Eucalyptus libvirt handler. - Relevant code for supporting arm on Eucalyptus is in node/handlers_kvm.{c,h}. It should be confirmed with Euca developers. - There are some reported issues regarding PCI identification for qemu-system-arm, this need to be cleared later.
