This is your host, Mark Walker—now let’s get to the content.
This episode, number 32, was produced on June 30th, 2012—and today’s topics will include:
Selections from “yum info recent” from several yum repositories
…
and the latest from FredLUG, the Fredericksburg Linux Users Group.
Today’s feature is “File systems,” from the The ABCs of Linux series of FredLUG presentations.
And we’ll close with a Creative Commons licensed work by
Secret Babies, entitled Sugar Pane.
Here are some recently updated items in the yum repositories:
→Name : aeolus-all
Summary : A meta-package to pull in all components for Aeolus
URL : http://aeolusproject.org
If you have not yet heard about the Aeolus project, here is an overview about it from their website:
Aeolus is a single, consistent set of tools to build and manage organized groups of virtual machines across clouds.
So, what does Aeolus need to provide a user to accomplish its mission?
- Aeolus Conductor: A way to provide cloud resources to users, manage users’ access to and use of those resources, and control users’ instances in clouds. This lets users make intelligent choices about which cloud to use.
- Aeolus Composer: A way to build cloud-specific images from generic templates, so that users can choose clouds freely using compatible images.
- Aeolus Orchestrator: A way to manage clumps of instances in an organized way. Users should be able to automatically bring up a set of different instances on a single cloud or spanning multiple clouds, configure them, and tell them about each other.
- Aeolus HA Manager: A way to make instances or clumps of instances in the cloud highly available.
All these things are possible because of the Deltacloud cross-cloud abstraction library. Deltacloud itself is a separate project.
Description : This YUM update is the aeolus meta-package. If you want to install aeolus
: and all of its dependencies on a single machine, you should
: install this package and then run aeolus-configure to configure
: everything.
… and speaking of Deltacloud, next on our YUM recent list is
→Name : deltacloud-core
Summary : Deltacloud REST API
URL : http://deltacloud.org
Apache Deltacloud is a top-level project at the Apache Software Foundation
Deltacloud provides the API server and drivers necessary for connecting to cloud providers.
Deltacloud maintainslong-term stabilityfor scripts, tools and applications andbackward compatibilityacross different versions.
Using single API Deltacloud enables management of resources in different clouds.
Start an instance on an internal cloud, then with the same code start another on Amazon’s EC2 or RHEV-M, as in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
Description : The Deltacloud API is built as a service-based REST API.
: You do not directly link a Deltacloud library into your program to
: use it. Instead, a client speaks the Deltacloud API over HTTP to a
: server which implements the REST interface.
→Name : deltacloud-core-all
Description : Deltacloud core with all available drivers
… there also are YUM deltacloud-core packages for
→Name : deltacloud-core-ec2

Description : The HTTPS Everywhere Firefox extension is produced as a
: collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier
: Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major
: websites.
:
: Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption
: over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may
: default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links
: that go back to the unencrypted site.
:
: The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting
: all requests to these sites to HTTPS.
→Name : opencl-utils
Summary : Useful OpenCL tools and utilities, as in Open Computing Language

At the FredLUG meeting on June 30th, 2012, we welcomed some new members to the group. And then Paul Frields gave a presentation on file systems, which you’ll hear in a moment in the feature section of this podcast episode.
The Fredericksburg Linux Users Group, FredLUG, meets on the third Monday of each month at the main Library on Caroline Street downtown—meeting time is 7 PM 1900 US Eastern time.
FredLUG also meets on the “last-Saturday-of-the-month” at the England Run library branch, which is west of Falmouth in Stafford County. A Google-maps link is in the show notes below.
