Talk:Calvin, Developer & Cloud User, CNBB Securities

 Back to Calvin, Lead Developer/Cloud user

[lblanchard 7-29-2014]

1) Would it be possible to add in some of the common tasks that Calvin would do in his 10 minutes of using Horizon? Is he spinning up instances? Uploading files? Looking at the overview page to see how his instances are running? I think this would be nice when designing features specifically for this developer/cloud user role.

2) Should we make it clear that when we say that Calvin is a developer he IS NOT a developer for OpenStack? Is this the intention? If not, I don’t think we should lump the Cloud user with the OpenStack developer. Based on interviews, these two roles are very different with respect to how they are involved/use OpenStack.

3) Would Calvin even touch the Networking pieces in Horizon? I’ve questioned whether this is something we should be exposing to our Cloud users, so while I agree it would be very confusing to Calvin, I’m not sure this information is relevant to a persona.

1) Yes, added some more detail under Question #1.

2) Calvin was intended to NOT be an OpenStack developer. He just uses OpenStack to deploy a VM and then leaves to write code. An OpenStack developer probably will be a cloud user, but I think that developer would be at a different company.

3) I think Calvin does not want to touch the networking pieces of Horizon, but he has to, at least with the current default "User" role. Maybe we should make this include Security Groups or other concepts that might be unfamiliar to new users?
