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

[Daniele Santoro]

Dear Jacob,

Unfortunately as you mentioned Spain region is currently out of resources and the pop-up message suggest to use other regions with cautions since they are under configuration and testing. Moreover we had a maintenance intervention during last two days and the overall system was not so reliable.

I’ve done a couple of test in Berlin and I was able to start an instance configuring the network appropriately. Berlin is using Neutron to manage networks and you need to follow this steps before start an instance from an image: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27543127/deploy-vm-in-fiware-lab-nodes-with-neutron/27543408#27543408.
Currently in Berlin they have no more public IP and for this reason I can suggest you to have another try in the following regions which should work well:

- Budapest: just tried successfully to start an instance without configuring network and routers. Simply allocate/associate a floating IP to your instance.
- Stockholm: At this time they don’t have public IPs but I know that today they should increase the pool.

Hope this hints will help you.

Best,
Daniele
