Self Service
The self-service feature is the possibility for users to create new VMs. That's different from delegating existing resources to them, and it leads to a lot of side-effects.
This feature is not yet available yet. Still, we already made efforts to design it, it should be done in the next months.
Set of resources
To allow people creating VMs as they want, we need to give them a part of your XenServer resources (disk space, CPUs, RAM). You can call this "general quotas" if you like. But you need first to decide how those quota applies in your infrastructure:
- which hosts will be available for self-service?
- which Storage Repository?
Details are given in this GitHub issue. Feel free to contribute to help up!
Users quotas
After having the global "frame" for your self-service, you need could be able to give users or groups, a maximum number of vCPUs or RAM etc.
Toward the Cloud
Self-service leads to other questions:
- what about network provisioning? (IP addresses)
- SSH keys and root partition growing with CloudInit is also a nice possibility
