Questions

It seems this requires Keycloak. How does this integrate with existing Openstack users?
Which Openstack release this supports?
In youtube video, I assume this runs on top of k8s, while this repo has docker-compose only. I am wondering if this repo includes everything to test bumblebee? It seems the setup options are all in env-template file, am I missing anything else?

Hi @haiwu Thanks for getting in touch.

They way we run this service is that it is independent of OpenStack. Users have local accounts, which are created by OIDC (in our case, handled by Keycloak).

It does run on K8s, and we use Helm for that. The Helm repo is here https://github.com/NeCTAR-RC/bumblebee-helm

There are a couple of Pull Requests here that might help in evaluating whether this is useful to you or not. They were contributed by others who were also looking to evaluate Bumblebee. I'd have a look at those and I know that some of the code allows for using docker-compose to set it up (see PR#1) that does include Keycloak.

I haven't looked at running this code outside of our environment for a while, so there might be some rough edges. I'll be presenting about this at the Vancouver summit in June, so I'll be making sure it's in an easily testable state by then!

Hope this helps - and please reach out if I can help in any way.

cheers

Thanks @andybotting for fast response! I am thinking of first testing this by creating 2 VMs in the cloud, one with Devstack, and one to host Bumblebee with docker-compose (or maybe this could be a VM with k3d/kind installed, and use bumblebee-helm to install). Would that work to quickly test this?

Or maybe better to wait till June.

I'd really like it to be usable with docker-compose, so I'll try it today and I'll let you know.

Please suggest.

@andybotting is it possible to expose windows VM through bumblebee ?

[andybotting]

@sanshah1211 We're actually working on that now. No ETA on when that work will be done yet though

@andybotting OK, Thank You
