Had a little fun with iMovie during Eucalyptus 3.2 Design meeting week.

Now that Eucalyptus 3.1 is out at last and we all get to wade through tons of announcements and blog posts, I thought I would mention a few of the changes that have happened since Eucalyptus 2 that you aren’t likely to see in marketing materials.
Why Eucalyptus 2? Most of us don’t get to use Eucalyptus 3.0, so comparing against that wouldn’t exactly be fair, would it? ;-)
Centralized documentation...
The release of Eucalyptus 3.1 marks the end of the beginning for Eucalyptus 3. In February of this year, we released Eucalyptus 3.0 -- a fairly extensive re-factorization of the Eucalyptus platform to support features, such as high availability, identity management, and bootable storage volumes, all of which required intrinsic changes to the implementation of the cloud fabric itself. We also needed to change the way Eucalyptus is modularized to allow easier more "pluggable" deployments and...
Eucalyptus 3.1 is open for business. (Or will be shortly: still waiting for launch as of 9:23am Eastern US time.)
No more artificial separation between Enterprise and Community. No more frenzied checkins to the “enterprise edition” while the separate-but-equal “community version” atrophies. No more working on new features behind closed doors for months on end. No more wondering about what’s on the roadmap. No more going weeks without any publicly visible check-ins. No more....
When being interviewed at Eucalyptus, one is often asked, “when do you stop testing software?” This is not a trick question. As a matter of fact, this is not even a question; there is only one answer, and everyone knows it.
You never stop testing.
In Eucalyptus, we take the answer above very much literally.
Introduction
Eucalyptus has always displayed strong interest in creating an innovative, state-of-the-art software development...
Together we can accomplish so much more. We are building an architecture of participation into and around Eucalyptus. Version 3.1, due out later this month, signals and shows this approach.
There is just one Eucalyptus platform - and it is free and open source code. You are welcome to get your own copy, play with it, modify it, and redistribute it. Even if you don't want to look into the actual Eucalyptus...
When working with IaaS easily provisioning bare metal is always needed. So, Eucalyptus uses preseed files to setup Debian and Ubuntu servers for testing software...
We’ve all been there, running git merge only to have it spew CONFLICT all over the place and quit partway through. But if we already know that every time there is a conflict then all of “our” code that we are merging changes into should take precedence over “their” changes that we are pulling in, git 1.7.3 provides a handy shortcut for that:
% git merge -X ours theirbranch
If “their”...
When working on an IaaS product, there is a constant need to have an easy and quick way to re-provision bare metal quickly. At Eucalyptus we utilize Cobbler and a home grown solution that allow us to setup servers automatically. PXE along with kickstart/preseed configurations create an easy, consistent and automated way to setup bare metal on...
