I recently got access to the Minicloud, a Free OpenPower Cloud hosted by Unicamp, one of the most prominent universities in Brazil. This cloud is a good way to ensure that your application provides good support for the Power architecture.
Having access to this cloud, I can help ensure that some of the projects I am interested about can be ran and supported on this architecture. Additionally, it offers me a Power environment to test the messaging-related packages I maintain on Fedora and CentOS – entirely on my free time.
To start with this cloud, I decided to go big and deploy Maestro there. Having only 4Gb, it means that I need to adjust very well the resources of my VMs so that I can maximize the usability of the cloud environment. I will write some posts about this.
The other project that I am interested in playing with in the Minicloud is Paho C, the MQTT client from Eclipse Foundation. As the Fedora maintainer for the package, having access to this environment means that I have a personal environment where I can ensure the quality of the packages.
