I'm not entirely against such efforts, but I never got a response that gave a good reason for doing it other than thinking it might invite more developers. Having worked on KVM over the last 3 years, I've seen a lot of sweat and tears go into handling odd corner cases and various pitfalls (libvirt bugs, etc) that I fear may need to happen again for a redesign/rewrite. There are also a lot of features that have been added by various parties who may not be interested in reimplementing them without a good reason, and we may not have expertise or time to do it without them. Last, I know of a small handful of third parties who have vendor plugins on the agent side to support their products, they may not be excited about us breaking their cloudstack support without good reason. My biggest complaint with the agent has not really been to do with functionality, it works fairly well, but with the organization of code. There's been a lot of work to improve this recently. Perhaps this is the wrong venue, but I'd be interested at some point to hear what other issues people are wanting to address. > > > Allow non-root credentials for adding KVM hypervisor > > ---------------------------------------------------- > > > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-8339 > > URL: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8339 > > Project: CloudStack > > Issue Type: Bug > > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > > Components: KVM > > Affects Versions: 4.5.0 > > Reporter: Marcus Sorensen > > Assignee: Marcus Sorensen > > Fix For: 4.6.0 > > > > > > Users prefer to not provide root ssh just to run the hypervisor add from > the UI.
