CNM Cloud Usable (in the Russian-language version, known as Работы над Облаком) is the fourth, current, phase of the CNM Cloud Project. CNM Cloud (hereinafter - the Cloud) is a set of technologies that supports CNM Cyber. This very wikipage presents the primary list of those endeavors that are included in that phase. CNM Cyber Project Coordinators (hereinafter, the Coordinators) are invited to organize work on its endeavors.


Trivia

Projects vs operations

The endeavors include:
  • Projects undertaken to develop new systems to be deployed at the Cloud.
  • Operations undertaken to sustain productive functions of deployed systems of the Cloud.

Cloud layers

  1. CNM Farms. The Cloud infrastructure or, in other words, ecosystem of computing servers and cloud OS to support both Opplet and CNM apps.
  2. Opplet. The enterprise-wide utility software that supports CNM apps regardless of their location of those applications in the Cloud.
  3. CNM apps. End-user applications of the Cloud.

Farms

CNM Farms (hereinafter, the Farms) present the infrastructure for the functioning of both the CNM apps and Opplet that serves those apps. The Farms are assembled using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software only.

Farms' administration

For the purposes of this wikipage, the Farms' administration refers to those endeavors that are utilized or can be used on several rather than one individual Farm:

Node clusters

For the purposes of this wikipage, node clusters refers to clusters of nodes that are utilized or can be used to build the Farms. The four Farms are made up of clustered nodes. Each cluster must have at least one (a) entry point, which for highly available Farms includes a load balancer on a public web address, (b) synchronization of resources of common individual nodes, at least databases, (c) monitoring, ( d) security, including firewalls; and (e) backup and recovery systems:
  • Farm for Bureau. Further development of Bureau Farm to advance its features. Currently, this Farm is based on two bare-metal servers. This Farm also utilizes a portion of one bare-metal server that belongs to the Lab Farm. The issues to work on may include (a) security outside of iptables, (b) adding NAS, as well as advanced backup and recovery systems, and (c) advanced monitoring systems.
  • Farm for Campus. Further development of Campus Farm to advance its features. Currently, this Farm is based on three virtual private servers (VPSes), which databases are synchronized via MariaDB Galera, and high availability functionality is based on HAProxy and includes (a) entry point, (b) monitoring, (c) security, and (d) backup and recovery system. One of the servers is also connected to additional storage, which is supposed to be converted to NAS.
  • Farm for Lab. Further development of Lab Farm to advance its features. Currently, this Farm is based on one bare-metal server. This Farm requires no high availability functionality due to the experimental nature of the applications installed on it. Due to the lack of high availability requirement, this farm will require an advanced backup and recovery system.
  • Farm for Opplet. Further development of Opplet Farm to advance its features. Currently, this Farm is based on two virtual private servers (VPSes); however, they haven't been included in one network. It is expected that a few developments of Campus Farm will be used here.
Previously, a private cloud built on OpenStack was used. It was closed due to high cost and low workload at the time. The development of the project may require the transfer of some of the Farms resources to the cloud solution again. Recently, Apache CloudStack has also become popular. If such a decision is made, it will be necessary to decide which support package to use and whether it will be the development of Lab Farm or Opplet Farm.

Opplet

Opplet represents (a) enterprise-wide middleware that serves the Cloud and (b) a group of end-user applications that allows end-users to utilize it. Therefore, the Opplet's functionalities can be divided into two groups:

  1. Services for CNM apps. Those federation services that Opplet provides to CNM apps.
  2. Services for end-users. Those services that Opplet provides to its end-users.

Some endeavors that are related to Opplet are included in the Farm for Opplet project (section Node clusters of this very wikipage) and DBs for Opplet project (section Database management). The core of Opplet is written specifically for the Cloud using Yii framework. Its periphery devices are assembled using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software.

App-oriented

For the purposes of this wikipage, app-oriented Opplet refers to those endeavors that are utilized or can be used on several rather than one individual Farm:
  • WSO2 IS for Opplet. New development of Opplet WSO2 IS to add WSO2 Identity Server (WSO2 IS) services to Opplet. Currently, Opplet utilizes OpenLDAP as its authorization and identity connector. However, OpenLDAP does not allow single sign-on (SSO) services. In addition, the Opplet developers faced troubles in changing roles and in connecting some end-user applications such as MediaWiki with OpenLDAP. Adding WSO2 IS also aims to introduce user registration in Opplet within CNM apps. Currently, the users must first register with Opplet in order to use those CNM app's services that are available for the registered users only. It is unclear at the moment whether OpenLDAP shall be kept in Opplet after WSO2 IS addition and, if so, how.
  • Enrollment to Opplet. New development of Opplet Enrollment to transfer the course registration (which Moodle in Australian way calls "enrolment") from CNM Cert to Opplet. Beyond visibility of user enrollment status on Opplet dashboard, this transfer shall resolve several problems: (a) speed. The current enrollment is carried out through the cron tool, which has a response delay, (b) enrollment in LMSes other than CNM Cert. The Cert accommodates only first 3 levels of the educational programs, (c) automatic unenrollment from those courses that have successfully been completed.
  • Roles to Opplet. Further development of Opplet roles to (a) automatically add new federated roles of an Opplet user based on the course progress and (b) communicate those roles to CNM apps. Currently, Opplet user roles can only be changed manually by Opplet administrators.
  • Mail for CNM Cloud. Further development of CNM Mail Server to make sure that all CNM apps can send and, when applicable, receive emails through it.
  • Exams to Opplet. New development of Opplet Exams to move test banks from CNM Moodle to Opplet.
  • Warehouse for CNM Cloud. New development of Opplet Warehouse to create a federated object storage in order to make illustrations and other files available for various CNM apps. The Cloud developers earlier also discussed an idea was to utilize CNM GitLab as a file storage.

Apps

CNM apps (hereinafter, the Apps) present end-user applications that are available to users of the Cloud. Any App needs to be able to work with our future CNM WSO2 IS and, possibly, existing OpenLDAP. The Apps are assembled using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software only.

Those endeavors that need to be undertaken for every App, must include:

  1. Updating the Apps to the latest stable versions and install the latest patches if and when they become available.
  2. Documenting what we have and identify problems.

This section lists both (a) those Apps that are incorporated and (b) some applications that may be potentially incorporated in the Cloud.

Utilizing MariaDB

For the purposes of this wikipage, utilizing MariaDB apps refer to those endeavors that are utilized or can be used on several rather than one individual Farm:
Пять полных прилад the Cloud используют MariaDB в качестве своих баз данных: 
для разработок Брацкой Бачки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, основная прилада установлена, но не используется. Ранее, туда были записаны несколько пробных видео, их судьба в данный момент не известна. Основная прилада, скорее всего, не будет установлена на главном кластере Кампусной Фермы из-за особенностей добавки функционала высокой доступности. Нет решения где и как она будет окончательно установлена.

для разработок Брацкой Вебки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, установленных прилад нет. Предпринималось несколько попыток установки, однако эффективной стратегии борьбы с вирусами найдено не было.

для разработок Брацкой Правки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, основная прилада установлена и активно используется. Из-за проблем интеграции с LDAP, версии уже несколько лет не обновляются. Также периодически появляются проблемы с картинками. Почтовый агент либо не подключен, либо не работает.

для разработок Брацкой Сетки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, основная прилада установлена, но используется несистематически. Почтовый агент либо не подключен, либо не работает.

для разработок Брацкой Учебки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, основная прилада установлена и активно используется. Несколько проблем задокументировано на странице Работа над Учебками. Почтовый агент либо не подключен, либо не работает.

Working on Tanks for the development of Bratskaya Tank, its course and future version, as well as software. Currently, the main attachment is installed but not in use. Previously, several test videos were recorded there, their fate is currently unknown. The main attachment will most likely not be installed on the Campus Farm's main cluster due to the nature of adding high availability functionality. There is no decision where and how it will be finally installed. 

   Working on Webcams for the development of the Bratsk Webcam, its course and future version, as well as software. There are currently no attachments installed. Several installation attempts have been made, but no effective anti-virus strategy has been found.
   Work on Edits for the development of Bratskaya Edit, its course and future version, as well as software. Currently, the main attachment is installed and actively used. Due to integration issues with LDAP, the versions have not been updated for several years. Also periodically there are problems with pictures. The mail agent is either not connected or not working.
   Work on Grids for the development of the Bratskaya Grid, its course and future version, as well as software. Currently, the main attachment is installed, but is not used systematically. The mail agent is either not connected or not working.
   Work on training manuals for the development of the Bratskaya training manual, its course and future versions, as well as software. Currently, the main attachment is installed and actively used.

Because apps don't exist in a vacuum, part of the app development effort goes to other groups. For example, to: 

    Domain projects include CDN in the Cloud.
    Pilot projects include LDAP for Editing.

Utilizing non-MariaDB

For the purposes of this wikipage, utilizing non-MariaDB apps refer to those endeavors that are utilized or can be used on several rather than one individual Farm: 
для разработок Брацкой Крынки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. Окончательный перевод Крынки с Redmine на GitLab. В настоящее время, GitLab стоит и несистематически используется, хотя и не на верном веб-адресе. База данных -- PostgreSQL. Тот Redmine, который использовался для Крынки, надо перевести на Опытно Облако.

для разработок Брацкой Связки, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, не используется вообще. База данных -- PostgreSQL.

для разработок Брацкой Справы, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. В настоящее время, не используется, но есть планы переводить туда отдел кадров и рекрутирование. База данных -- PostgreSQL.

для разработок Брацких Жиц, её курсовой и будущей версии, а также ПО. Построение кластера для высокой доступности Брацких Жиц. Основная прилада стоит и, в настоящее время, предпринимаются попытки её использования. База данных неизвестна.

Translation of Krynka to GitLab for the development of Bratska Krynka, its course and future version, as well as software. Final transfer of Krynka from Redmine to GitLab. Currently, GitLab stands and is inconsistently used, although not at the correct web address. The database is PostgreSQL. The Redmine that was used for Krynka should be transferred to Experimental Cloud. 

   Work on Bundles for the development of Bratskaya Bundle, its course and future version, as well as software. Currently not used at all. The database is PostgreSQL.
   Work on the Rights for the development of Bratskoy Prava, its course and future versions, as well as software. Currently not in use, but there are plans to move the HR and recruiting department there. The database is PostgreSQL.
