			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>UPDATE: New 1.0.0RC1 pre-configured ISO images <a href="http://forum.abiquo.com/posts/list/29.page">available</a>! </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/abicloud/">From Abicloud 0.7.0</a> we introduced the Cloud Nodes images as an option to reduce the time to deploy a Cloud Infrastructure. In the new <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/abicloud/">Abicloud 0.8.0</a> version, we have created a set of openSUSE 11.1 Distros with all the software and libraries you need to deploy a complete Abicloud Cloud Computing Infrastructure.</p>
<h3>Abicloud Server Live Installer</h3>
<p>An Abicloud Server Live Installer is an openSUSE 11.1 Distro with all the libraries and software bundled in such a way that the set up of a simple Abicloud Infrastructure as a Service deployment is a very simple process almost without any intervention. <strong>You have all you need to test drive the platform in a single ISO image</strong>. Besides, the linux distribution detects the existing hardware the first time it boots.</p>
<p>At this moment we have these images:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Abicloud Server openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits with VirtualBox 2.2.4 [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/Abicloud_Installer_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso">download</a>]  [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/Abicloud_Installer_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso?torrent">torrent</a>]:</strong> This image install all the software you need to set up an Abicloud Server and a VirtualBox Cloud Node.It&#8217;s the right image to test drive the platform if you only have a server available.</li>
<li><strong>Abicloud Server Lite openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/Abicloud_Installer_Lite_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso">download</a>] [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/Abicloud_Installer_Lite_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso?torrent">torrent</a>]: </strong>This image install all the software you need to set up an Abicloud Server. It&#8217;s the right image to test drive the platform if you have more than one server. You can install it on virtual or physical server, and deploy a Cloud Node in a physical server.</li>
</ul>
<p>Basically, the installation is a &#8216;next, next,next&#8217; process, but if you need help this screencast will show you how to do it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nl55npSWB8Y&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nl55npSWB8Y&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<h3>Cloud Node Live Installer</h3>
<p>A Cloud Node Live Installer is another set of openSUSE 11.1 Distros with all the libraries and software bundled in such a way that the set up of a Cloud Node is a very simple process. And the linux distribution detects the existing hardware when it boots for the first time.</p>
<p>At this moment we have these images:</p>
<ul>
<li>VirtualBox &#8211; openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/VirtualBox_Cloud_Node_Installer_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso">download</a>] [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/VirtualBox_Cloud_Node_Installer_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso?torrent">torrent</a>]</li>
<li>KVM &#8211; openSUSE 11.1 x86 32 bits [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/KVM_Cloud_Node_Installer_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso">download</a>] [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/KVM_Cloud_Node_Installer_32bits.i686-0.8.0.iso?torrent">torrent</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>Again, the installation is a &#8216;next, next,next&#8217; process, and this screencast can help you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GD9uotXjOz8&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GD9uotXjOz8&amp;hl=es&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>In the Abicloud Community Wiki <a href="http://community.abiquo.com/display/abiCloud/Installation">you can read the full installation process</a>. Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/abicloud/">From Abicloud 0.7.0</a> it&#8217;s <strong>mandatory </strong>to install an application in the servers where the hypervisors VirtualBox, XEN or KVM is executed (Yes, VMware ESXi does not need these small applications). The reason why we now need it is because these hypervisor lacks of some functionality provided by VMware ESXi. So we cover these lacks with our own software. Our goal is to <strong>make the dream of Virtual to Virtual (V2V) coming true thanks to our platform</strong>. Want to deploy your ESXi virtual images in XEN, KVM or VirtualBox? Abicloud can help with its V2V capabilities.</p>
<p>Some users reported that this change could make harder to deploy a new cloud system. So, we decided in the maintenance release 0.7.1 to offer pre-configured images with the hypervisors and our applications configured ready to run. But we wanted to go one step further: the user should not need to configure the operating system, the drivers, users, permissions&#8230; it should be as easy as possible. Almost a bare-metal version.</p>
<p>We have been using a service from <a href="http://www.opensuse.org">openSUSE</a> called <a href="http://susestudio.com">SUSE Studio</a>. <a href="http://susestudio.com/">SUSE Studio</a> is a web front-end to customize and build your own personal distribution in as many ways you could possibly think off. There are other similar services and applications that helps you make custom distribution but none of them are as extensive in customization options as SUSE studio or as easy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-293" title="susestudio" src="http://blog.abiquo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/susestudio.jpg" alt="susestudio" width="542" height="387" /></p>
<p>With this service, we created what we called <a href="http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/Cloud+Node+Images">Cloud Node Images</a>. A Cloud Node Image is raw disk image with all the libraries and software bundled in such a way that the set up of a Cloud Node is a very simple process almost without any intervention. Besides, the linux distribution detects the exisiting hardware the first time it boots and expands itself to fill the drive.</p>
<p>At this moment we have these hypervisors and architectures available:</p>
<ul>
<li>VirtualBox &#8211; openSUSE 11.1 JeOS x86 32 bits [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/VirtualBoxopenSUSE.11.1.x86.i686-0.7.1.oem.tar.gz">download</a>] [<a title="VirtualBox Cloud Node" href="http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/VirtualBox+Cloud+Node">instructions</a>]</li>
<li>KVM &#8211; openSUSE 11.1 JeOS x86 32 bits [<a href="http://abicloud.s3.amazonaws.com/KVMopenSUSE.11.1.x86.i686-0.7.1.oem.tar.gz">download</a>] [<a title="KVM Cloud Node" href="http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/KVM+Cloud+Node">instructions</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>64bit versions and XEN support will come in future releases. But if you want to test drive our platform, probably this is the fastest way.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-296" title="kvmopensuse" src="http://blog.abiquo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kvmopensuse.jpg" alt="kvmopensuse" width="642" height="485" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can download it from our community site, in the section <a href="http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/Cloud+Node+Images">Cloud Node Images</a>. We hope this will help to make things easier to anyone who wants to test our platform. If you have some ideas, please let us know!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is not to explain the benefits of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Virtualization_Format" target="_blank">OVF standard</a> in the cloud world. A little summary, for us the most important features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allows the <strong>easy portability</strong> of virtual Appliance between datacenters.</li>
<li>Supports both<strong> single and multi virtual machine configurations</strong>.<strong></strong></li>
<li>It&#8217;s <strong>independent of the virtualization technology</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>OVF is extensible</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p>OVF is being and/or will be adopted by the most important players in the cloud market.</p>
<p>AbiCloud is designed to work with the OVF standard (nowadays with OVF 1.0 specifications).</p>
<p>abiCloud 0.7.0 release have the first version of OVF manager, a java library that would be able to be used in other projects.  The main benefits are:</p>
<ul>
<li>1.0 specifications compliance</li>
<li>complexity abstraction for developers.</li>
<li>Easy OVF updating process in your code.</li>
</ul>
<p>This first revision will contain the basic OVF specifications and will be  an important section in our community for developers or other projects interested in collaborating with the library improvements.</p>
<p>Moreover, we are working in other cloud components that work with OVF in order to improve the interoperability between clouds &#8230;  information is coming soon :)</p>
<p>And remember,  for questions or doubts,  you know how to <a href="http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/Home" target="_blank">contact us</a> ;)</p>
