Current status

Detailed Description

testCloud was created because manually booting a cloud image locally can be a pain. It handles downloading the image, spoofing cloud-init metadata as well as providing an ssh_config to easily connect to the booted instance. What was usually several different steps to get an image to boot locally is now just one:

 python testCloud.py <url for qcow2 image>

It currently supports both the Fedora Cloud Base as well as the Atomic host image.

Note: testCloud will likely change names in the near future.

Benefit to Fedora

Provides a simple means for Fedora users and developers to easily:

  • Learn about Cloud (if you don't have access to a cloud provider)
  • Test Fedora Cloud releases
  • Locally test your cloud application
  • Lowers the barrier to get involved with Fedora cloud efforts
