      Description

      Dear FIWARE teams,

      in terms of our survey for European Pioneers we have executed a User
      Acceptance Test nailed down to the most essential end-user scenario for 7
      regions listed below:

      „I want to be able to get a shell access with a public IP to an instance in
      a simple and straightforward way“.

      We are available that Terms of Usage are changing soon and ID verfication
      will be required to access public IPs, but this is not the issue here.

      We have tried today to create an instance in each region with the following
      results. (Account name for admins to look up the logs:
      christian.bonkowski@iais.fraunhofer.de
      <christian.bonkowski@iais.fraunhofer.de> , instance name: test-iais)
      Every time we expected that same steps are required to create a VM with a
      public IP and shell acccess. We assume also that not every potential
      customer with overall intermediate skill level has enough knowledge to
      manually configure a network.

      Typical error pattern in many cases was, there is a default network which
      cannot be used without an error, and custom network usage can also result in
      an error.

      Region

      Public IP allowed

      Manual

      Details

      UAT synopsis

      UAT: get IP+VM shell

      Lannion

      Yes

      Yes

      Manual 12 pages, not very straightforward.

      With manual acceptable but not competitive.

      PASS

      Spain

      Yes

      No

      No Networks/Router, auto-assign of int. IP

      Allocation of public IP easy.

      PASS

      Trento

      No

      No

      Much trial&error required

      Admin skills needed for network

      FAIL

      Waterford

      Yes

      No

      Manual network config

      Undefined error on IP assign.

      FAIL

      Berlin

      No

      No

      Manual network config

      No public IP available.

      FAIL

      Pragua

      Yes

      No

      As in Spain, no networks

      IP ok. Error on instance creation.

      FAIL

      Mexico

      Yes

      No

      Own network = no instance

      400 error on instance launch.

      FAIL

      We recommend a to implement a formal quality assurance process based on an
      audit so that all regions can implement same must-have common functionality
      at least for this one scenario, if possible. Think of McDonlads: you get
      identical Cola &BigMac offer everywhere but some regions have got their own
      food specials.

      Additionally, most successful regions like Spain might want to share their
      knowledge with other regions.

      Kind regards / viele Grüße & Servus

          As explained via e-mail, your VM started fine, but you were unable to obtain an IP address. That's expected because all of them were assigned to other VMs.
