Almost all the integration tests use the built-in CentOS template in the deployment for their test scenarios. Sometimes this is less desirable since the tests can verify functionality within cloudstack that requires certain services to be up within the guest. For instance the VPC tests ensure loadbalancing over the web port works correctly, for which it requires the httpd service to be running.
Since we may have specific needs in tests for future, I've added an appliance definition built on top of a CentOS6.4-minimal +xs-tools in the tools/appliance/builtin directory. This change is pushed to master (26a0fd5). The automated test deployments will replace the regular built-in with this template to help verify such tests as described above. I've put in a job on jenkins as well for this - http://jenkins.buildacloud.org/view/master/job/build-test-centos-builtin/ I'm still testing the template at the moment but wanted to bring this up in case anyone sees problems with this approach? -- Prasanna., ------------------------ Powered by BigRock.com
