Re: [DISCUSS] SIG for SDN Tungsten Fabric Network Plugin
That's a nice initiative and good timing, we will be interesting and willing to contribute as well, if we go with tungsten Fabric. We recently looked at using Contrail, the commercial version of Tungsten, not very impressed for managing network switches to be honest. Overcomplicated software with limited configuration schema for switches. Although we haven't looked at the service orchestration part. It seems to be somewhat useful when it comes to orchestrate services such as firewall, LB, vxlan routers,... Will also be challenging to deal with their documentation which lacked a bit and also their high integration to OpenStack :-( We are expecting to have a close eye on Tungsten for our network services evolution. Perso, I would look for another SDN, but I'm not knowledgeable in this topic at the moment, it might be the best open source option available at the moment.

Re: [PRIMATE][SIG] Meeting Notes
10 Feb 2020 meeting notes: Project board: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-primate/projects/1 Est. total effort left: ~40 hours Progress by number of supported APIs: ~98% (10 remaining APIs vs 461 APIs in old UI) High-level changes since last week: * VPC and related tabs/views including a new infrastructure section on ILBVM * Template, ISO, volume upload forms with a progress bar * IP range management for traffic types: public, management and storage * Many pending tabs for zone, isolated network etc. * Support for UI-wide pagination and table to display data in action forms On a high level, the only major tasks left are (1) VM deployment wizard (with Hoang/Sven), and (2) zone deployment wizards (with Rohit/Pearl). For all other features and components, we've pull requests pending review and testing: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-primate/pulls Actions and goals are to continue to work on issues from the project board to completion of major tasks wrt the technical preview. Manual QA/test plan was discussed and my ShapeBlue colleagues have already started it since last week.

JDK Changes
All, Master/4.14 will soon require that JDK11 (https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/3601) is available for building and running management server, usage server and the KVM agent. Like the previous transition from JDK6 to JDK7, and then JDK7 to JDK8, it is advised to install JDK11 on your development workstation and setup and use latest maven 3.6.3+ and jenv (https://www.jenv.be/) and on checking out the branches it will automatically detect, switch and use suitable JDK version. Developers may build the 4.14 systemvmtemplate with openjdk11-headless using qemu+packer, or get from here: http://download.cloudstack.org/systemvm/4.14/ For users, the deb/pkg will ensures that openjdk11 will be installed (and on unsupported/old distributions that don't have JDK11, external repositories or ppa from openjdk, Azul etc may be used) but on in-place upgrades post-installation users need to verify that JDK11 is the default JDK in their environments. This will be documented as part of the release/upgrade notes (https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-documentation/pull/87/files). Any questions, concerns, feedback? Thanks.
