If this is for an open source project what is it?

Usery is a portal for users to create sandbox accounts on clouds for testing and learning about the cloud

Brief project description

Usery allows users to request sandbox access to an openstack cloud, these users will then have a single project with default quota to test out using the cloud. The systems allows for accounts to be disabled after a set number of days and then deleted after that.

Is project code 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?

Yes the project is 100% opensource
https://github.com/lhaig/usery

What kind of machines (VMs or Baremetal) and how many do you expect to use?

The current need is to have a current version of openstack to access through the portal.
The future needs will be federated openstack systems and kubernetes cluster

What OS are you planning to use?

Ubuntu

Any special network configuration you expect or anticipate implementing?

No

Any architecture or other specifications/requirements (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc)?

Nothing special

What testing are you planning to implement or need assistance implementing?

I would be using unit testing to test the current usery codebase.
I need to have cloud scenarios to test against.

How will this testing advance application and/or tooling built on-top of open infrastructure?

Will you publish blog or paper from your testing?

• Yes
• No - if no, how will you present your results?

Any other relevant details we should know about while preparing the infrastructure?

The aim with usery is to create a tool that enterprises and cloud providers could utilise to speed up the adoption of clouds within their private / public cloud strategy.

The initial plan is to get Openstack working and then to add features that might come up once people start using it.
The Road map will then include expanding into Kubernetes and Docker Swarm.

Hey @lhaig

Thanks for the request. We will work on getting you access to an environment and respond here when ready. If you have any extra feedback, questions, or concerns let us know.

We do require that something like a blog post, whitepaper, etc be provided after use. We can discuss how to ensure this gets done once things are underway. In your case it is easy to imagine at least a blog post can be done.

I will write a blog post on how things are progressing with the advancement of Usery and the status at each step.
Thanks for looking into this.

Hi @lhaig

Apologies for the delay. You should have an email with a verification code for access. Let me know when you have completed verification via email info@openlabtesting.org and I will walk you through resource usage and we can discuss how to ensure you are providing the expected feedback for justification.

Thanks again for the request and talk with you soon.

@lhaig let me know if you have any questions; i am closing this issue for now, feel free to re-open it.

I had trouble finding out who to use the tool-set. So I was not able to start using the lab.

@lhaig no worries, please jump in #askopenlab on freenode IRC or if Slack works best http://bit.ly/openlab-slack and we can more quickly help you resolve issue(s)

Move from https://github.com/theopenlab/ocean/issues/1

[lhaig]

I will work on automating the current tests with openlab cicd
