Juju support for Synnefo

[Stavros Sachtouris]

Hello,

I am currently investigating ways for utilizing Juju on our own IaaS 
software (*), with the intention of suggesting it as the de facto PaaS 
layer.

We have already considered using external CLI scripts for provisioning 
and scaling. This approach seems to work, but it limits the utilization 
of Juju features (e.g., you cannot scale from UI). What we really need 
is a provider with full support for Synnefo.

We already had a glimpse in Juju code, trying to familiarize ourselves 
with the code, but we would appreciate any guidance on how to develop 
complete providers for Juju. Where do we get started? Are there any 
"developer Guides" or other documents? What is your policy on provider 
extensions?

Thank you in advance

(*) It is called Synnefo ( synnefo.org ) and is an opensource IaaS 
developed by the Greek Research Network of Technology (GRNET). It powers 
~okeanos ( okeanos.grnet.gr ), a large IaaS providing resources to the 
Greek and other European academic communities. Synnefo is OpenStack 
compatible (in theory...)
