Status

The updated landing page (VM List) is in code review

The edit page has made good progress, but is getting a bit bogged down

  - we've started doing official sprints / agile on the team, hopefully will help accelerate things

  - when we don't have REST API capabilities, we should consider tabling those items and progressing on other things

A VM Portal release (1.4.2) is scheduled for Friday, August 10. It will contain:

  - new VM List page with new PatternFly notification drawer

  - new Edit page skeleton

  - Edit > Overview card working

  - Edit > Details working

  - Edit > Snapshots working

[We will be officially releasing VM Portal every two weeks now, at the completion of each sprint.]

Meeting minutes

Aug 2 2018

Attendees:

Greg, Scott, Bohdan, Laura, Liz, Lucie

Edit > Snapshots card -- design is complete, coding is almost complete and in review

Edit > Overview card (top left) -- coded, sagas are not quite done

Edit > Overview card (top left) -- we overlooked icon upload

Edit > Details card -- IP address discussion. It would be nice to show IPs (v4, v6?). Liz will mockup.

Edit > Utilization card -- revisiting disks. Scott needs to do some legwork -- looks like data we have is missing in the REST API results

Edit > NIC and Disks review (Liz): they are very similar. Designs are close, perhaps complete

Discussion re: hotplugging

• Need to offer user option to hotplug (modal)

• Alert box for pending changes (in each card)

• We can grab Next Run config (vs current) in REST

• (vm name is runtime changeable)

Discussion re: disabling buttons vs hiding them when users don’t have permissions
