Description

Scope and Design Doc:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Agents+Framework

Aims to:

• Refactor VR codebase, provide better test-ability and scalability in developing features in VR and for user VMs
• Provide user VM based granular orchestration such as reset password, reset SSH key, installation of software such as monitoring and backup etc.
• Secure/TLS based connection between VR and user VMs
• Easy to use orchestration based on Ansible, Chef or Puppet and recipes based on that
• Provides a way to monitor VR and do VR VM maintenance such as upgrade packages and apply security patches (such as openssl packages), cleanup /var/log files and monitor VR health
• Available in Isolated, VPC and Shared networks
• Make it easier for sys admins to debug issues
