Synnefo-wide |
48 |
------------ |
49 |
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components: |
50 |
|
51 |
* impose structure and naming conventions to all URL related settings. Make |
52 |
each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. |

Each API (compute, image, etc.) is deployable under a |
54 |
developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL. |
55 |
|
56 |
* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components: |
57 |
|
58 |
* ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s |
59 |
visual identity. This is possible using the snf-branding component, which |
60 |
is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for |
61 |
Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades. |
62 |
|
63 |
|
64 |
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components |
65 |
(Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services), |
66 |
resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes). |
67 |
* Implement common client for communication with Astakos and proper error |
68 |
handling. |
69 |
|
70 |
Astakos |
71 |
------- |
72 |
* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into |
73 |
Astakos. |
74 |
* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens |
75 |
|
76 |
* Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo |
77 |
component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g. |
78 |
compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu). |
79 |
|
80 |
* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'. |
81 |
* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources. |
82 |
* Improved user activation process |
83 |
* Improve limit of pending applications by making it a quotable resource. |
84 |
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies. |
85 |
* Overhauling of Astakos management commands for usability and uniformity. |
86 |
|
87 |
Cyclades |
88 |
-------- |
89 |
* Speed up private network creation, by creating a network to a Ganeti backend |
90 |
only when a server connects to that network. |
91 |
* Rename management commands for commissions and resources for uniformity with |
92 |
other services. |
93 |
