I am working on a project to set-up multiple SSH key capability in Apache cloudstack in Google Summer of Code -2021.

I came to know about the project in the beginning of April 2021. I had expressed my interest in the project in github discussion section. Then I had a couple of talks with mentors David J, and Rohit Yadav. I started writing the proposal, and introduced myself on the mailing list. I started setting up the Development environment in the meantime. And was in daily conversation with mentor David J. With the help I set up the cloudstack environment and deployed sucessfully after almost 15 tries.

The name of students selected in the GSoC-21 was released on 17th May, 2021. Until the Coding period, was the community bonding period. I introduced myself in the mailing list, and started discussing with my mentors - David J, Nicolas V, Harikrishna P, and Rohit Y. I made contacts with other GSoC participants meanwhile. Apurv, Sangwoo, Junxuan were also working in GSoC in Cloudstck on other issues. We had a meet, and were in day-to-day chats. We helped one another in issues we were facing. During this period I started learning deploying VMs, running the Management server, learning Maven and the project structure. I worked with monkeybox, which is a tool for Cloudstack develpoment.

The work started on 7th of June 2021. Week 1: This week I learned about Cloudstack api and the service layer. Completed the excercise of API part given in https://github.com/shapeblue/hackerbook/blob/master/hack/api.md

To do this exercise I had to learn the basics about API, the Java spring framework, and about Maven projects.
