openQRM: Image-shelf updated with lots of new server-images
openQRM is an open source systems management platform which integrates with existing components in enterprise data centers. openQRM focuses on automated, rapid-deployment, storage-manage, virtualization and cloud computing.
Next to our new build-farm for the openQRM binary package releases (which now also cares to compile 32- and 64bit packages) the public openQRM Image-shelf server got updated with lots of additional pre-made server-images for different linux distributions. Here a list of currently available server-images :
Debian-40-etch-32-minimal.tar.gz
Debian-40-etch-64-minimal.tar.gz
Debian-40-etch-64-LAMP.tar.gz
openSUSE-103-32-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-103-64-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-103-64-LAMP.tar.gz
openSUSE-110-32-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-110-64-minimal.tar.gz
openSUSE-110-64-LAMP.tar.gz
Ubuntu-710-gutsy-32-minimal.tar.gz
Ubuntu-710-gutsy-64-minimal.tar.gz
Ubuntu-804-hardy-LTS-32-minimal.tar.gz
Ubuntu-804-hardy-LTS-64-minimal.tar.gz
Centos-5.2-minimal.tar.gz
Fedora-9-32-minimal.tgz
In 5 simple steps those server-images can be deployed via the openQRM image-shelf plugin :
1. create a new volume on a (nfs-based) storage server
2. create a new image using the volume created in step 1.
3. select the public image-shelf server
4. select one of the server-images from the list
5. select the image created in step 2.
This will automatically populate the new created server-image (step 2.) with the pre-made server-image selected in step 4. After step 5. the new image is ready for deployment. Once the image is available it can be either deployed directly or it can be used as a server-template by "just" deploying "clones" (snapshots) from the original "golden image". Also those server-images can be used with the deployment-transform mechanism to transfer them seamlessly from one storage-type to another.
Big thanks to Thomas for the new build-farm and for the updates of the Image-shelf !
enjoy,
