My Background

Initial Reaction

• This is easyo Ssoo Project creation easyoAdding people to project works well (More on that later)oUsing pre-written Rspecs

Single Linux container booted in a few mintues (FC13?)

Initial Issues Encountered

• New usersoDoesn’t seem to create new users automatically when

added to the project Public key and user pushed, when?

• FlackoHard to create a single vm with ext. ipo Link specification not straight forward

Can’t just say one ext. IP and one on the geni wimax vlan

o Couldn’t get any vm created

Rspecs

Find one that does what you need, but then disappears

o Complicated Can’t write your own or modify

– Need intimate knowledge

• Version number?oOmf-aggmgr updates

Release packages? Release console node images?

– Mac addresses, configs, etc, in a database?

o Emulab vm style? Create VM with wimax bridged interface?

– Not useful for some experiments

o Schedule on the GENI page?
