A description of a few CloudStack projects proposed for the 2013 Google Summer of Code. The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is a mentoring organization for the google summer of code 2013. Apache CloudStack being a top level project at the ASF has proposed several projects for GSOC. Interested students should review those projects, engage on the CloudStack mailing list and submit a proposal. The best proposals could get awarded and the students would join the GSOC program from ~June till the end of september.

Apache CloudStack Google Summer of Code Projects Sebastien Goasguen @sebgoa
CloudStack is a IaaS software solution
GSoC • Via the Apache Software Foundation, CloudStack participates in Google Summer of Code • Projects are listed in the url below. • Students should check the timeline and process for application http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013 http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Student+Projects
Student Expectations • Learn the Apache Way – “Transparency, consensus, non-affiliation,respect for fellow developers, and meritocracy, in no specific order “ • Become part of the CloudStack community – Mailing lists, IRC, JIRA, Review board • Contribute code to the CloudStack source or other ASF projects or separate git repositories
Projects • Title: Create a Bootstrap based GUI for CloudStack • Topic: UI, REST API, web frameworks • Subject / Questions: Study the current UI and find areas of improvements. Would frameworks like Bootstrap and backbone help the design and code ? How ? Propose a design and implementation. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1778 https://github.com/runseb/cloudstack-flask http://backbonejs.org http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/
Notes • Students will learn the CloudStack API • Students will learn boostrap and backbone web framework • Students will show why and how to improve the current CloudStack UI • Document how to write a custom CloudStack UI. • Contribute code to CloudStack. • Python, javascript, CSS
An even better UI ?
Projects • Title: Add Xen/XCP support for GRE SDN controller • Topic: Software Defined Networking, Virtual switches. • Subject/Questions: Deploy CloudStack and learn how to use the native SDN controller. Test Hypervisor support, contribute code to suppport Xen and XCP and KVM https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1778 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1777 https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/ovs-tunnel-manager-for-cloudstack.html https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/enhancements-to-gre-based-sdn-overlay.html
Notes • Students will deploy CloudStack • Students will learn about the various networking features of CloudStack • Students will learn about Software Defined Networking and network virtualization • Students will contribute code to the CloudStack source tree to add support for Xen/XCP and KVM for the native SDN controller • Java, Python, networking
New Isolation types for all Hypervisors ?
Projects • Title: Create a “Cloud in a Box” using DevCloud • Topic: A CloudStack appliance to build a cloud with multiple hosts • Subject/Questions: Leverage DevCloud, the CloudStack sandbox, to build a complete cloud. How to bootstrap an entire cloud using DevCloud ? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1781 https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/devcloud.html
Notes • Students will learn DevCloud the CloudStack sandbox • Students will use Vagrant, Veewee to create appliances • Students will write bootstrap scripts to automate the formation and configuration of a complete cloud • Python, bash, configuration management
Self-Contained
Projects • Title:Integration project to deploy and use Mesos on a CloudStack based Cloud • Topic: Distributed resource sharing in the cloud • Subject/Questions: Using CloudStack, create a mesos appliance to build a computational cluster (e.g MPI, Hadoop). Create boostrap scripts to automate the configuration of mesos via service offerings. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1784 http://incubator.apache.org/mesos/
Notes • Students will learn/use Mesos (the parallel processing framework used at Google – allegedly  ). • Students will show how to use CloudStack to create a Mesos infrastructure. • Contribute code to CloudStack to improve support of Mesos and document configuration recipes.
Projects • Title: Improve CloudStack support in Apache Whirr and Apache incubator-provisionr to create Hadoop clusters • Topic: Big Data and Clouds • Subject/Questions: How does Big Data and Cloud relate ? Contribute CloudStack support in Apache Whirr and Apache incubator Provisionr. Show how to create Big Data infrastructure using CloudStack. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1782 http://whirr.apache.org http://incubator.apache.org/projects/provisionr.html
Notes • Students will work at the frontier of Big Data and Clouds • Students will deploy a Big Data infrastructure using CloudStack • Students will contribute to Whirr, CloudStack and Provisionr to improve CloudStack support • Document and show how to create a Big Data infrastructure on a CloudStack cloud.
Other Projects • Improve CloudStack Marvin to support Behaviour Driven Test Writing – Mentor: Prasanna • LDAP user provisioning in CloudStack – Mentor: Abhi • Over Provisioning of resources as specified in service offering – Mentor: Abhi https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1952 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2014 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2019
