Main Page

The stoney cloud wiki acts as a collection of all aspects of a high availability cloud infrastructure. It is roughly divided into the following sections:

• Infrastructure: The basis of the whole ecosystem.
• stoney cloud: The actual cloud with a simple multi-tenant web based interface.
• Self-Service Modules: Extension modules to expand the functionality of the stoney cloud.

Infrastructure

The stoney cloud builds upon the Gentoo Linux Distribution and is dependent on infrastructure projects like:

• Build Server
• Binary Package Server
• Mirror Server
• Puppet Server

While this infrastructure will serve stoney cloud in many ways, it may also be used to build cloud independent systems. We want you to be able to deploy desktops or more specialized gear using the same stack the infrastructure projects use to build services and manage machines for the cloud.

Currently some requirements and proposals have been imported from the RaBe Wiki and are being fleshed out and merged into this wiki proper.

stoney cloud

The stoney cloud is an expandable multi-tenant web based Open Source Cloud management solution with service providers as it's target audience.

• stoney core: Main framework responsible for shared functionality:
  • REST API, which serves as a data and business logic abstraction layer and uses JSON as the primary data interchange format.
  • User management, rights and roles.
  • A consistent look and feel between modules.
  • Internationalization.

• stoney conductor: Responsible for:
  • Storage allocation
  • Network configuration
  • Virtual machine profiles
  • Virtual machine templates
  • Virtual machines
  • Virtual machine snapshots
  • Virtual machine full backups

Self-Service Modules

Existing

• stoney backup: On-line backup service for desktops, servers and virtual machines.

Work in progress

• stoney vm: Simplified sub set of the stoney conductor functionality.
• stoney mail: Mail service with optional group-ware (based on Open-Xchange).

Planned

• stoney monitor: Monitoring (with Zabbix).
• stoney orchestra: Configuration Management (with Puppet).
• stoney box: An on-line storage service (will support WebDAV via HTTPS and SFTP, later CIFS as well).
• stoney web: Web & Database hosting service (based on Apache and MariaDB).
