The ROCK/UML Project aims to create a ROCK sub-distribution who can be installed, primarily, under ROCK - providing tools to quickly and easily set up virtual servers.

Some of the things that has been discussed as items to be implemented are:

  • Automated build of the tools and the UML executable.

  • Installable package with all support utilities required for full usability of the UML.

  • An UML Administration Tool which acts as a front-end to the configuring of accounts, filesystems, network, etc. that the UML's will be using.

  • Process accounting in larger environments, so billing for CPU usage can be done.

  • Using the UML to test ISO images before they get burned onto CD-R/RW's. (Saves money in the long run. :-)

We will need a better, more detailed, list of requirements than outlined above. From that, we can then derive a Technical Specification, a Software Workbook and the relevant testplans to ensure that all is working well and that releases are working as they were intended and with the functionality agreed.

Comments, suggestions and questions welcome.
