------------ |
31 |
* Standardize URLs for Synnefo Components: |
32 |
|
33 |
* impose structure and naming conventions to all URL related settings. Make |
34 |
each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. |

Each API (compute, image, etc.) is deployable under a |
36 |
developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL. |
37 |
|
38 |
* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components: |
39 |
|
40 |
* ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s |
41 |

is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for |
43 |
Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades. |
44 |
|
45 |
|
46 |
* Create a JSON-exportable definition document for each Synnefo Components |

48 |
resources, and other standardized properties (e.g. default URL prefixes). |
49 |
* Implement common client for communication with Astakos and proper error |
50 |
handling. |
51 |
|
52 |

57 |
|
58 |
* Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo |
59 |
component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g. |
60 |
compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu). |
61 |
|
62 |
* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'. |
63 |
* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources. |
64 |
* Improved user activation process |
65 |
* Improve limit of pending applications by making it a quotable resource. |
66 |
* Added fine grain user auth provider's policies. |
67 |
* Overhauling of Astakos management commands for usability and uniformity. |
68 |
|
69 |
Cyclades |
70 |
-------- |
71 |
* Speed up private network creation, by creating a network to a Ganeti backend |
72 |
only when a server connects to that network. |
73 |
* Rename management commands for commissions and resources for uniformity with |
74 |
other services. |
75 |
