Stratosphere SSP is an SDN solution which creates virtual L2
networks backed by vxlan and vlan. SSP will ask hypervisor to set a
specific vlan, then SSP will interact with openflow switches and
put vxlan/vlan translation flow rules.
This plugin provides SSP as "connctivity" service provider.

This feature allows a user to deploy VMs only in the resources dedicated to his account or domain.
1. Resources(Zones, Pods, Clusters or hosts) can be dedicated to an account or domain.
Implemented 12 new APIs to dedicate/list/release resources:
- dedicateZone, listDedicatedZones, releaseDedicatedZone for a Zone.
- dedicatePod, listDedicatedPods, releaseDedicatedPod for a Pod.
- dedicateCluster, listDedicatedClusters, releaseDedicatedCluster for a Cluster
- dedicateHost, listDedicatedHosts, releaseDedicatedHost for a Host.
2. Once a resource(eg. pod) is dedicated to an account, other resources(eg. clusters/hosts) inside that cannot be further dedicated.
3. Once a resource is dedicated to a domain, other resources inside that can be further dedicated to its sub-domain or account.
4. If any resource (eg.cluster) is dedicated to a account/domain, then resources(eg. Pod) above that cannot be dedicated to different accounts/domain (not belonging to the same domain)
5. To use Explicit dedication, user needs to create an Affinity Group of type 'ExplicitDedication'
6. A VM can be deployed with the above affinity group parameter as an input.
7. A new ExplicitDedicationProcessor has been added which will process the affinity group of type 'Explicit Dedication' for a deployment of a VM that demands dedicated resources.
This processor implements the AffinityGroupProcessor adapter. This processor will update the avoid list.
8. A VM requesting dedication will be deployed on dedicatd resources if available with the user account.
9. A VM requesting dedication can also be deployed on the dedicated resources available with the parent domains iff no dedicated resources are available with the current user's account or
domain.
10. A VM (without dedication) can be deployed on shared host but not on dedicated hosts.
11. To modify the dedication, the resource has to be released first.
12. Existing Private zone functionality has been redirected to Explicit dedication of zones.
13. Updated the db upgrade schema script. A new table "dedicated_resources" has been added.
14. Added the right permissions in commands.properties
15. Unit tests: For the new APIs and Service, added unit tests under : plugins/dedicated-resources/test/org/apache/cloudstack/dedicated/DedicatedApiUnitTest.java
16. Marvin Test: To dedicate host, create affinity group, deploy-vm, check if vm is deployed on the dedicated host.
1. A new implicit planner which extends the functionality provided by FirstFitPlanner.
2. Implicit planner can be used in either strict or preferred mode. In strict mode it tries to deploy a vm of a given account on a host on which vms of the account are already running. If no such host is found it'll search for an empty host to service the request. Otherwise the deploy vm request fails.
3. In preferred mode, if a host which is running vms of the account or an empty host isn't found, the planner then tries to deploy on any other host provided it isn't running implicitly dedicated strict vms of any other account.
4. Updated the createServiceOffering api to configure the details for the planner that the service offering is using.
5. Made db changes to store the service offering details for the planner.
6. Unit tests for testing the implicit planner functionality.
7. Marvin test for validating the functionality.

- Introduces api/discovery plugin that helps discover apis on the mgmt server
- It's a pluggable service, therefore has it's own api-discovery_commands.properties
where the discovery api, listApi can be blacklisted (by removing it), or it's
role mask can be changed
- By default its response has all the apis
- Changes in other parts of the code to make it work, viz. components.xml, pom.xml,
and in ApiServer where it is used as an adapter to get apiname, cmd mappings
The ApiDiscoveryService interface is a contract that the implementing class will
provide:
1. A means to get all the apis as a list of response, plugin is free to implement
the response class, as long as it extends on the BaseResponse:
ListResponse<? extends BaseResponse> listApis();
2. Provides a map of apiname as the key and cmd class as the value:
Map<String, Class<?>> getApiNameCmdClassMapping();

Multiple fixes:
1. changes to the mvn configuration
a. include simulator to client.war
b. activate simulator by profile
2. templates for simulator
3. developer prefill for simulator
a. Use deplydb-simulator to setup simulator db
4. Inherit components-simulator.xml from components.xml
5. ListVolumesCommand missed for MockStorageManager
6. Include simulator properties into utils/db.properties
TODO:
Secondary storage VMs don't come up because ComponentLocator doesn't
retain a unique set of adapaters by name. Fix this in subsequent
checkin.
Simulator just like any hypervisor should be a plugin.
resurrecting it to aid api refactoring tests. WIP

The authenticators now have an encode function that cloudstack will use to encode the user supplied password before storing it in the database. This makes it easier to add other authenticators with other hashing algorithms. The requires a two step approach to creating the admin account at first start as the authenticators are only present in the management-server component locator.
The SHA256 salted authenticator make use of this new system and adds a hashing algorithm based on SHA256 with a salt. This type of hash is far less susceptible to rainbow table attacks.
To make use of these new features the users password will be sent over the wire just as he typed it and it will be transformed into a hash on the server and compared with the stored password. This means that the hash will not go over the wire anymore.
The default authenticator in components.xml is still set to md5 for backwards compatibility. For new installations the sha256 could be enabled.
