smoserhey all.14:01
smoserwe're waiting on roaksoax to join fishbowl14:01
smoserthen... should be starting very shortly.14:01
med_good morning14:03

chiluk_will there be a first-boot concept?14:05
med_chiluk_, you should be skiing.14:05
chiluk_I should be.14:05
med_Lot's of TODOs in the BP still.14:06
smoserhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit14:06
smoserthere are lots of blueprint items, yes.14:07
roadmrquestion, I remember the server install images moved to using a squashfs rather than a pool of .deb packages, this sped them up considerably. So here we're looking at something even faster?14:07
chiluk_thanks for the wiki link smoser14:07
med_so thin install plus the cloud-init package to "customise" the thin install14:07
Davieyroadmr: yes, rather than using squasfs.. talking of re-using cloud images, so dd like experience14:08
roadmrI see, thanks14:08
* med_ nods his head furiously and realizes he's off camera14:09
jtaylorare you using eatmydata to speed up dpkg?14:10
shirgallA reminder, if someone watches the session later they can't see the questions, so it may help to summarize the question concisely for the recording.14:12
jtaylorin my experience force-unsfae-io is not as good as eatmydata14:12
smosershirgall, thanks.14:13
Davieyshirgall: i think we are trying to do that.. if we are not, please shout.14:13
jtaylorits been a while since i compared though14:13
med_Yes how do we test.14:14

med_is there any hardware limitations on target hosts?14:14
med_which maas do we need to use?14:15
med_did MAAS get SRUd into Precise?14:15
Davieymed_: do you want to join the inner circle?14:15

med_How can we help?14:17
med_Daviey, Do you mean something like juju deploy ubuntu, destroy-service ubuntu; juju deploy something else14:19
rbasaksfdisk or gsfdisk input format?14:20
Davieyi've never used gsfdisk14:21
Davieyis it compatible ?14:21
rbasakNo, it's different. gsfdisk for GPT14:21
rbasakfstab format for filesystems14:21
rbasakWe have a standard way of referring to partitions on a disk :)14:21
rbasakI use sfdisk format a lot by hand14:22
rbasakBut I may not be normal14:22
rbasakIt's concise14:22
smoserecho "1,1" | sfidisk /dev/sda14:22
med_that formats the whole disk as 1 ptn?14:22
* med_ will try that in a VM.14:23
rbasakYes but you can miss most stuff out and it'll do a sensible default14:23
rbasakEg. fill to avaiable space14:23
med_on /dev/scotsssda14:23
Davieyoh neat14:23
rbasakWe will need to think a little bit about GPT14:24
Davieyrbasak: want to join the hangout?14:24
rbasakThis is just an aside, right?14:24
med_Isn't GPT required for some archs.14:25
med_(IA64 used to require it as it was EFI based.)14:25
med_well, still does, but is kind of irrelevant.14:25
med_smoser, are you using ACTUAL hardware or VMs to devel/test?14:27
med_thanks.14:29
med_Daviey, can you elaborate?14:29
med_or smoser is14:30
med_we'll have more info next UDS on poking/playing?14:31
roadmrthanks!14:32
shirgallThanks!14:32
psusishoot, did I miss the meeting?14:46
Davieypsusi: sadly.14:47
psusismoser: I wanted to pipe up on this to ask if anyone had considered rather than coming up with an alternate installer, workign to fix d-i so it isn't so slow?  I worked up some patches recently to make debootstrap much faster14:48
smoserpsusi, oh? thats neat.14:50
smoserand clearly a more general solution.14:51
smoseri tink that having a filesystem ready and easily written to a filesystem though is still nice.  and just about guaranteed to be faster than dpkg.14:52
psusiideally I'd like dpkg to be at least say, 80% as fast as that, preferably 90%+14:52
psusiit seems to me that it is slowness is due to a lot of fsyncs that aren't needed especially on first install, so I patched debootstrap to pull in and activate libeatmydata to defeat that junk and it made it MUCH faster14:53
=== wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood
psusilike 5x faster or something iirc14:54
smoserpsusi, that is very interesting.  i konw that the installer uses unsafe-io14:55
smoserbut didn't realize that eatmydata was *that* much faster.14:55
psusiyea, that does very little14:55
=== udsbotu changed the topic of #ubuntu-uds-servercloud-1 to: Track: Cloud & Server | Openstack Grizzly Review | Url: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1303/meeting/21655/openstack-grizzly-review/
psusiit only gets rid of something like 10% of the syncs14:56
smoserany way you look at it, installation of packages and execution of pre/post installs cripts is going to be slower though.14:56
smoserthan tar, which is just writing to disk.14:56
smoserbut that is solved/addressed by the squashfs images to some extent.14:57
smosertanks psusi we should move out of this channel though.14:57

smoserhttp://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/eightprotons/images/streams/v1/16:10
med_thanks16:10
niemeyer+1 for json16:11
niemeyeryaml is interesting when human readability is key16:12
niemeyerFor a case like this, data availability sounds like the key.. the simplicity of json wins16:12
niemeyer(and ubiquity)16:12
smoserhttp://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/eightprotons/cloud/16:12
med_Will this be provided for all public clouds? Does this work (this generalization) for other public clouds?16:15
med_so Juju providers will embed this knowledge?16:16
med_or something in the juju ecosystem will?16:16
med_yep, image_id/something else16:19
med_(didn't mean to derail meeting)16:21
niemeyerI have step out, but I will watch the whole video later16:22
niemeyersmoser: One last point.. it doesn't feel like splitting up per arch is necessary16:22
niemeyersmoser: I'd take one depth level out of that directory structure, and merge amd64 and i386.js into a single file16:23
rbasakniemeyer: not sure I follow?16:23
med_me either. How can you drop an arch?16:23
rbasakniemeyer: ok, so a data format thing, rather than the information presented?16:23
niemeyersmoser: and have lucid.js instead16:23
niemeyerrbasak: Right16:23
niemeyerThat cuts the round trips by half, and simplifies slightly the model, without any major impact I believe16:24
rbasakYes - after all instance store and ebs are separate too.16:25
rbasakBut we're tying them together16:25
niemeyerThere are several axis,as rbasak points out16:25
rbasakI think the core data format allows flexibility here, right?16:25
DavieyConsidering code names were technically only supposed to be used during development, it should probbaly be 10.04.js16:25
rbasakDaviey: so what about raring?16:26
med_arm64 arch16:26
rbasakIt would need to change on release16:26
Davieyrbasak: Good question !16:26
niemeyersmoser: I don't think I get it.. there are several axis there16:26
niemeyersmoser: i386/amd64.. ebs/instance..16:26
niemeyerSure, but that doesn't justify the fact they can't be together.. people have to cherry-pick the right item inside that file anyway16:28
med_I thought the idea was that you'd get the latest/freshest/right item by default....16:29
niemeyerIt's kind of the opposite of what would be an issue.. the *common* axis are out of the data format.. these are the axis that *can* be in the format because they are standardized across providers.16:31
Davieymed_ / niemeyer: Wnat to join the fishbowl?16:31
niemeyerDaviey: I can't, I really have to step out.. :(16:31
Daviey:(16:31
niemeyerBut I'll watch out the full video16:31
niemeyers/out//16:31
Davieyniemeyer: Shame, sounds like you have some good points.16:31
niemeyerand provide feedback16:31
niemeyerUltimately, each provider could be an independent file..16:32
niemeyeraws.js16:32
niemeyeretc16:32
rbasakniemeyer: yes - and the format allows us to break it down by provider, AIUI16:33
niemeyerWith less field duplication inside the format itself16:33
niemeyerThis reduces the burden when using that data16:33
niemeyer(for an app developer)16:33
niemeyerI'll organize those thoughts and provide a suggestion16:33
rbasakniemeyer: thanks! Appreciate your input.16:34
* niemeyer steps aside16:34
rbasaksmoser: also MAAS for ephemeral images?16:35
rbasakAnd d-i netinst images perhaps?16:35
rbasakOr is that out of scope?16:35
rbasakDidn't want to interrupt :)16:41
med_too polite...16:41
* med_ lost his entire train of thought while joining.16:41
med_short train though, one car.16:42
