Summary:

SmokeStack is a web application with a REST based HTTP interface to help origanize and drive testing of OpenStack. SmokeStack is focused on integration using real packages (RPM, Deb, etc.) and config management (Puppet/Chef). The following core OpenStack services are currently supported: Nova, Keystone, Glance, Swift, Cinder, and Quantum.

SmokeStack is built using:

• Rails 3.1
• Resque: a redis backed job queue
• A templated job runner. The default libvirt job runner uses Kytoon to spin up groups of servers in the cloud for smoke testing.
• Packages to install software (currently supports Fedora)
• Configuration management to install and configure everything (Puppet)

Features:

• Currently supports Git and Bzr.
• Ability to test custom branches on GitHub, Launchpad, Gerrit, etc.
• Custom package builder branches.(For RPMs/Debs/etc.)
• Specify a custom revision hash for each source code URL.
• Captures stdout and stderr for each job.
• Multiple configuration support. Libvirt/XenServer, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Qpid/Rabbit, etc. build your own and test with them right in the UI.
