Please make sure to download VCL from an mirror server. The following link will automatically select one for you that should be close to you. After downloading it make sure you verify it with MD5 or SHA1 sums AND the GPG signature (sums and signature files should be downloaded directly from Apache, not from mirrors).

Download ASF VCL 2.1 (not available yet)
GPG Signature (not available yet)
MD5 Sum (not available yet)
SHA1 Sum (not available yet)
VCL KEYS file

Run the following command to verify the MD5 sum. You should get the same number that is in apache-VCL-2.1-incubating.tar.bz2.md5:
md5sum apache-VCL-2.1-incubating.tar.bz2

...

  1. download and import the VCL KEYS file:
    gpg --import KEYS
  2. download the GPG Signature to the same location as the release file
  3. from the directory containing both the release file and the GPG signature, run
    gpg --verify apache-VCL-2.1-incubating.tar.bz2.asc

Release Notes

I. Intro and Description

VCL, Virtual Computing Lab. The VCL can be many things, first and foremost it is an open-source system used to dynamically provision and broker remote access to a dedicated compute environment for an end-user. The provisioned computers are typically housed in a data center and may be physical blade servers, traditional rack mounted servers, or virtual machines. VCL can also broker access to standalone machines such as a lab computers on a university campus.

...

Also using the scheduling API it can be used to automate the provisioning of servers in a server farm or HPC cluster.

II. VCL Roadmap

VCL 2.1 (this release)

The release supports provisioning nodes using xCAT 1.3, xCAT 2.1, vmware server 1.x, ESX standard Server using the toolkit the vmware-cmd on the esx host, ESXi using the vmware toolkit.

II. VCL Roadmap

VCL 2.1 (this release)

  • completed modularization of vcld
  • xCAT 2.1 support
  • Shibboleth authentication
  • VMWare
  • completed modularization of vcld
  • xCAT 2.1 support
  • Shibboleth authentication
  • VMWare management via VMWare toolkit
  • ESXi with thin provisioning on a NetApp
  • Only supports xCAT 1.3 and xCAT 2.1 versions

VCL 2.2

...

  • support for xCAT 2.23 or later versions
  • improve cluster reservations VMWare Free Server 2.x (changed after 2.1 release)
  • improve block reservations(rename to block allocations)

VCL 2.3

  • Service deployments
  • power management
  • VMWare Free Server 2.x improve cluster reservations (changed after 2.1 release)

VCL 2.4

  • improve hypervisor support
  • dynamic provisioning of host servers
  • VMWare Free Server 2.0
  • possibly XEN or KVM

VCL 2.45

  • develop tools for managing both system and user storage

With each release, we'll be working toward making VCL easier to install. As part of our move to development at the Apache Software Foundation, it is an obvious goal to create a community of users and more developers around VCL. Bringing in more developers should become easier as VCL becomes easier to install.

III. Getting Involved in the ASF VCL Community

There are five ways to become involved in the ASF VCL community.

...

  • Become an official committer to the project. Once you have shown that you have a good grasp of the project by submitting patches, you can further join the development work by submitting a contributor license agreement (CLA) to ASF and having a committer account created to directly contribute code to the project.

IV. How to Submit Bugs and Feature Requests

If you find a bug, please submit a bug report to our JIRA bug tracking system at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL (you will need to set up an account there if you haven't already done so - it's free to anyone). Also, we would appreciate it if you mentioned that you filed a bug on the vcl-dev list to make sure we don't miss it.

...

After you have created a JIRA issue, you have the option to vote on it to help us know how to prioritize issues. You can also "watch" the issue to see when activity related to it is submitted.
