Axemblr Provisionr 0.1.0 - Release Notes

What is Axemblr Provisionr?

Simple Service for Managing Pools of 10s or 100s of Virtual Machines

With Provisionr we want to solve the problem of cloud portability by hiding completely the API and only focusing on building a cluster that matches the same set of assumptions on all clouds, assumptions like: running a specific operating system (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), having the same set of pre-installed packages and binaries, sane dns settings (forward & reverse ip resolution - as needed for Hadoop), ntp settings, networking settings, ssh admin access, vpn access etc.

What's new in this release?

This is our first official release. We've implemented basic support for creating pools of virtual machines on Amazon EC2 (tested with 20 nodes). Each machine can only be accessed using a single account (AdminAccess) over SSH. On each machine the service can pre-install a set of packages and download external files (over http or https).

Check the README for an example on how to use this service.

What's next?

Our main objective for the next release is to be able to provision pools with 50+ nodes that contain all the packages and binaries needed to run CDH4 (including Cloudera Manager) in a robust and efficient manner.
