server-o-lxc-improvements
22% of 18
High Some basic lxc container improvements: ∘ quick container cloning with snapshotting for lvm, btrfs, and aufs/unionfs (based on ppa:serge-hallyn/lxc-natty work) ∘ sandbox template using current user namespace . limited use, but useful for locking child task such that it can only talk to us over pipes. ∘ per container syslog . Lack of this has prevented me from using containers for some bug investigations. ∘ proc virtualization ∘ container reboot and shutdown ∘ custom per-container firewall rules ∘ lsm integration ∘ templates for other distros (fedora, opensles, gentoo)

server-o-ensemble
88% of 8
Essential Ensemble is ready for users to start hacking on formulas and the code. The best way to get it into users' hands is to add it, and all of its dependencies, to Ubuntu, and make sure they are tested going forward.
server-o-ensemble-conference-talks
85% of 20
Essential A list of conferences where we can discuss and present Ensemble to potential users.
server-o-ubuntu-orchestra-server
33% of 3
Essential  If Ensemble is how you deploy workloads into the cloud, Orchestra is how you deploy "the cloud". Integrating Eucalyptus directly into the Server/debian-installer was a non-trivial exercise. Faced with supporting OpenStack as alternative cloud infrastructure, we'll find ourselves, once again, re-engineering some of the ISO installer. Is this the best approach to the problem of deploying Cloud Infrastructure? Members of the Ubuntu Platform Server Team, in conjunction with the Canonical Solutions Integration Team suggest that we should take a more modern and extensible approach, leveraging the best of open source's bare metal provisioning, management, orchestration, and monitoring technologies -- and we call that "Ubuntu Orchestra". Step 1: 'apt-get install ubuntu-orchestra-server', which will install and totally configure a suite of free software tools (cobbler, squid-deb-proxy, puppetmaster, mcollective + plugins) on a single machine.  Step 2: rapidly provision many servers **and/or desktops** over the network, in parallel, adding the ubuntu-orchestra-client package, which results in powerful, managed Ubuntu servers and/or desktops, ready to be purposed/customized/configured/managed/monitored by Puppet. Eventually, Ensemble could/should grow arms to manage physical Orchestra systems much like cloud instances. This blueprint involves doing the necessary work in ubuntu-orchestra-server for Step 1 above.
community-o-ensemble-screencast-lib
50% of 6
Undefined Creating a screencast library that is interesting and inspiring both to users (devops, sysadmins) explaining how to quickly and easily deploy scalable cloud applications using ensemble, and also to formula developers explaining how easy it is to start writing your own ensemble formula
server-o-lxc-sandboxing
100% of 5
Medium Even when user namespaces are fully implemented, there remains the concern that containers share an OS with the host, and may be able to exploit syscall vulnerabilities (in particular) to gain access to and privilege in the host. Historically, relatively new syscalls in particular, have ended up with vulnerabilities which a container would be able to exploit. It would be nice if we could deny a container from using certain system calls, perhaps by a method analogous to seccomp. http://lwn.net/Articles/332438/ described plans for such, and a suggestion to combine seccomp with ftrace instead. http://code.google.com/p/seccompsandbox/ describes what google ended up using for chrome on linux instead. http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/ describes the approach used on freebsd. http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=kernel-capsicum.git;a=summary is a port to linux. These are very useful for sandboxes in general, but not ideal for this lxc concern. This blueprint, then, is for following, helping and testing, or initiating the seccomp+ftrace approach.
