What is RefStack? Toolset for testing interoperability between OpenStack clouds. Database backed website supporting collection and publication of Community Test results for OpenStack. User interface to display individual test run results. Overview RefStack intends on being THE source of tools for interoperability testing of OpenStack clouds. RefStack provides users in the OpenStack community with a Tempest wrapper, refstack-client, that helps to verify interoperability of their cloud with other OpenStack clouds. It does so by validating any cloud implementation against the OpenStack Tempest API tests. RefStack and DefCore - The prototypical use case for RefStack provides the DefCore Committee the tools for vendors and other users to run API tests against their clouds to provide the DefCore committee with a reliable overview of what APIs and capabilities are being used in the marketplace. This will help to guide the DefCore-defined capabilities and help ensure interoperability across the entire OpenStack ecosystem. It can also be used to validate clouds against existing DefCore capability lists, giving you assurance that your cloud faithfully implements OpenStack standards. Value Add for Vendors - Vendors can use RefStack to demonstrate that their distros, and/or their customers' installed clouds remain with OpenStack after their software has been incorporated into the distro or cloud. RefStack consists of two parts: refstack-api Our API isn't just for us to collect data from private and public cloud vendors. It can be used by vendors in house to compare interoperability data over time.

OpenStack Compute Support for Chef's Knife Command
A Chef knife plugin for OpenStack clouds.
This project is a Zenoss extension (ZenPack) that allows for monitoring of OpenStack. This means that you can monitor the flavors, images and servers a user or consumer perspective. OpenStack Compute v1.1 (Cactus) is known to be supported. Specifically this means that Rackspace's CloudServers can be monitored. In the future it is likely that support for monitoring OpenStack Storage (Swift) will be added. OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure solution. Once the OpenStack ZenPack is installed you can begin monitoring by going to the infrastructure screen and clicking the normal button for adding devices. You'll find a new option labeled, "Add OpenStack." Choose that option and you'll be presented with a dialog asking for the following inputs. 1. Username - Same username used to login to OpenStack web interface 2. API Key - Can be found by going to "Your Account/API Access" 3. Project ID - This can be left blank if you don't know what it is 4. Auth URL - For Rackspace this would be https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0 5. Region Name - This can be left blank if you don't know what it is Once you click Add, Zenoss will contact the OpenStack API and discover servers, images and flavors. Once it is complete you'll find a new device in the OpenStack device class with the same name as the hostname or IP you entered into the dialog. Click into this new device to see everything that was discovered. The following types of elements are discovered. * Servers * Images * Flavors The following metrics are collected. * Total Servers and Servers by State o States: Active, Build, Rebuild, Suspended, Queue Resize, Prep Resize, Resize, Verify Resize, Password, Rescue, Reboot, Hard Reboot, Delete IP, Unknown, Other * Total Images and Images by State o States: Active, Saving, Preparing, Queued, Failed, Unknown, Other * Total Flavors Status monitoring is performed on servers and images with the following mapping of state to Zenoss event severity. Servers State to Severity Mapping: * Reboot, Hard Reboot, Build, Rebuild, Rescue, Unknown == Critical * Resize == Error * Prep Resize, Delete IP == Warning * Suspended, Queue Resize, Verify Resize, Password == Info * Active == Clear Images State to Severity Mapping: * Failed, Unknown == Critical * Queued, Saving, Preparing == Info * Active == Clear If you are also using Zenoss to monitor the guest operating system running within the server Zenoss will present the graphs for that operating system when the graphs option is chosen for the OpenStack server.
