[Fiware-lab-help] State of FI-Ware infrastructure?

[Jacob Oscarson]

Hello,

Jacob Oscarson, lead developer for a project tasked with developing
services using FI-Ware components here. We are scheduled to deliver a
system based on FI-Ware's GE components but after the third week of
difficulties with even launching a fairly simple WM I'm becoming
increasingly concerned about the state of the FI-Ware infrastructure:

Here is my report for 2015-01-26:

I was greeted by a message that the Spain region i out of resources
for the third week in a row.

First attempt, in the "Zurich" region:

  1. I attempt to allocate a "floating IP", but it fails with this
  message:

  Error allocating IP address. Cause: 500 Error
  {"computeFault": {"message": "The server has either erred or is incapable
of performing the requested operation.", "code": 500}}


Second attempt, Berlin:

  1. I allocated 1 "floating IP" from the "ext-net-federation" pool
  2. I attempted open port 22 (to gain a SSH login on the VM) in
  security group "default"
  3. I created a network
  4. I try to create an Ubuntu 14 VM, assign it's IP, security group
  and network, but when I try to launch it halts in an error state
  with the following message:

  Error allocating IP address. Cause: 500 Error
  {"computeFault": {"message": "The server has either erred or is incapable
of performing the requested operation.", "code": 500}}

Third attempt, Stockholm:

  1. I allocated 1 "floating IP" from the "XIFIpublicACREO" pool
  2. I attempted to open port 22 (see Berlin description)
  3. I created a network
  4. I try to create an Ubuntu 14 VM, assign it's IP, security group
  and network. When I launch, it is marked as being in an "ERROR"
  state after a while, I can't find an error message more than that.

Walking through these web-UI's are very time-consuming and I can't find
any information about which regions that are supposed to be
working. The UI informs me that the "Spain" region is down (and has
been for the entire month), but it doesn't say anything about which
regions are supposed to be running.

Your UI seems to have ~17 regions. Painstakingly walking through all
of them (exept Spain) every week to try to launch a VM (let alone one
of your packaged component containers) is not a viable way of staying
on our schedule.
