Synnefo

* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components:

  * impose structure and naming conventions to all URL related settings. Make

    each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL.

    Each API (compute, image, etc.) is deployable under a

    developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL.

* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components:

  * ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s

    visual identity. This is possible using the snf-branding component, which

    is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for

    Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades.

* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components

  (Astakos, Cyclades, Pithos, etc.) that consolidates APIs (services),

  resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes).

* Implement common client for communication with Astakos and proper error

  handling.

* Redesign of the accounting system (quotaholder) and integration into

  Astakos.

* Implemented the keystone API call POST /tokens

  * Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo

    component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g.

    compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu).

* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'.

* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources.

* Improved user activation process

* Improve limit of pending applications by making it a quotable resource.

* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies.

* Overhauling of Astakos management commands for usability and uniformity.

Cyclades

--------

* Speed up private network creation, by creating a network to a Ganeti backend

  only when a server connects to that network.

* Rename management commands for commissions and resources for uniformity with

  other services.

* Synchronize Cyclades API with Openstack Compute v2.0 API.
