Openstack中社区项目简介

主要是翻译加上一些个人的理解。

OpenStack Community Projects

These projects are provided by the wider community and have no official endorsement. They are projects that are related to one of more OpenStack projects and may extend the functionality or usability of the core OpenStack projects.

Openstack 社区项目

这些项目由Openstack社区提供并且没有官方的认可。它们都和Openstack中一个或者几个项目相关联并且或许能够扩展Openstack核心项目的一些功能。

Atlas-LB

Project Leads: Youcef Laribi and Uma Goring

Overview: The Atlas project will provide Load Balancing as a Service or LBaaS for short. The goal is for load balancing vendors to be able to write adapters to this service for their technology.

概要：Atlas主要把负载均衡作为一个LBAAS。目标是让一些负载均衡设备商能够根据它们的技术把相关适配器写入到这个服务中。

Burrow

Project Lead: Eric Day

Overview: A messaging queue system for multi-tenant cloud use. Burrow has a simple API and modular design.

概要：一个为多组用户使用的消息队列系统，Burrow拥有简单的API以及模块化设计。

Clanavi

Project Lead: Yas Naoi

Overview: Cloud management tool based on Drupal moduls for supporting multiple clouds. Supported cloud functionalities include server templates, clusters, monitoring, billing, resource allocation, reliability, scalability and more.

概要：基于Drupal moduls的支持多云的云管理工具，被支持的云功能包括服务模版，集群，监视，计费，资源分配，可靠性以及弹性等等。

CloudGateway

Project Lead: Shivan Bindal

Overview: A common interface used to manage multiple clouds based on the RightScale gateway. Ultimately, the Cloud Gateway should evolve into an interoperable cloud standard.

概要：基于RightScale gateway的通用多组云管理接口，最终，Cloud Gateway 应该被包含到公用云标准中。

Crowbar

Project Lead: Rob Hirschfeld; (https://github.com/dellcloudedge/crowbar)

Overview: A DevOps inspired cloud installation and maintenance system that allows users to quickly deploy a fully functioning OpenStack cloud.   The code design is modular so that operators can choose which components, infrastructure, and vendors they want to include in their system; however, modules are also system aware and cross reference each other to build an integrated operating environment.  Crowbar is a wrapper for the open source Opscode Chef Server (which is installed as part of package) with the addition of PXE/DHCP based node discovery, an orchestration state machine, and system level deployment semantics.  Crowbar provides a foundation for adapting to software changes while creating scalable and repeatable cloud deployments.

概要：一个  DevOps inspired云安装和管理系统，能使用户快速部署一个OpenStack 云。代码结构是模块化的所以用户可以自由选择哪些部件需要安装。然而，这些模块再构造OpenStack 的时候是系统自知以及相互参照的。Crowbar是基于 PXE/DHCP based node discovery的封装，用来open source Opscode Chef Server。Crowbar 提供了在创建弹性可重构云中的基本构件。

Dodai

Project Lead: Shigetoshi Yokoyama; (https://github.com/nii-cloud/dodai)

Overview: "Cluster as a Service" Managing multiple clusters for openstack clouds, Hadoop, and other diverse frameworks. Clusters of commodity servers are used for a variety of distributed applications like simulation, data analysis, web services, and so on. No single framework can fit every distributed application. Users can get clusters just by specifying the configuration of them. Dodai has sub-projects like Dodai-deploy and Dodai-compute.

概要：管理 openstack，hadoop等多云的“集群服务（CaaS）”。CaaS被用于多种分布式应用，像仿真，数据分析，WEB服务等。没有一个单一的云架构能适用与所有的分布式运用。用户可以简单通过制定配置文件来介入集群。Dodai有Dodai-deploy和Dodai-compute两个子项目。

Donabe

Project Lead: Rick Clark

Overview: Donabe is a container service, a group of resources created and/or managed as one unit, with an initial focus on network containers.

概要：Donabe是一哥容器服务，把组资源的创建和管理作为一个单一单元，最初集中于网络容器。

Juju

Project Lead: Gustavo Niemeyer (http://juju.ubuntu.com)

Overview: Juju focuses on managing the service units you need to deliver a single solution, above simply configuring the machines or cloud instances needed to run them. Charms developed, tested, and deployed on your own hardware will operate the same in OpenStack, or any other EC2 API compatible cloud.  Furthermore, juju allows you to test your deployments locally via LXC containers, providing an inexpensive and fast way to test your OpenStack deployment or any other scale-out, multi-node solution.  Through the use of charms, juju provides you with shareable, re-usable, and repeatable expressions of DevOps best practices. You can use them unmodified, or easily change and connect them to fit your needs. Deploying a charm is similar to installing a package on Ubuntu: ask for it and it’s there, remove it and it’s completely gone.
