Dear FIWARE teams, in terms of our survey for European Pioneers we have executed a User Acceptance Test nailed down to the most essential end-user scenario for 7 regions listed below: „I want to be able to get a shell access with a public IP to an instance in a simple and straightforward way“. We are available that Terms of Usage are changing soon and ID verfication will be required to access public IPs, but this is not the issue here. We have tried today to create an instance in each region with the following results. (Account name for admins to look up the logs: christian.bonkowski at iais.fraunhofer.de <mailto:christian.bonkowski at iais.fraunhofer.de> , instance name: test-iais) Every time we expected that same steps are required to create a VM with a public IP and shell acccess. We assume also that not every potential customer with overall intermediate skill level has enough knowledge to manually configure a network. Typical error pattern in many cases was, there is a default network which cannot be used without an error, and custom network usage can also result in an error. Region Public IP allowed Manual Details UAT synopsis UAT: get IP+VM shell Lannion Yes Yes Manual 12 pages, not very straightforward. With manual acceptable but not competitive. PASS Spain Yes No No Networks/Router, auto-assign of int. IP Allocation of public IP easy. PASS Trento No No Much trial&error required Admin skills needed for network FAIL Waterford Yes No Manual network config Undefined error on IP assign. FAIL Berlin No No Manual network config No public IP available. FAIL Pragua Yes No As in Spain, no networks IP ok. Error on instance creation. FAIL Mexico Yes No Own network = no instance 400 error on instance launch. FAIL We recommend a to implement a formal quality assurance process based on an audit so that all regions can implement same must-have common functionality at least for this one scenario, if possible. Think of McDonlads: you get identical Cola &BigMac offer everywhere but some regions have got their own food specials. Additionally, most successful regions like Spain might want to share their knowledge with other regions. Kind regards / viele Grüße & Servus Peter Muryshkin, M. Sc.
