The following is an AI-generated summary of the meeting based on the transcript.

Team explored installation on different environments (Azure, VirtualBox), identifying hardware requirements and optimizing approaches.
Luis Miguel and Jeronimo tested installation on Azure; initial VM had insufficient RAM, leading them to create a new VM with 8 GB RAM and 2 vCPUs for a more suitable setup.
Paula Ines advanced installation on VirtualBox, evaluating whether to continue in that environment or switch to alternatives for efficiency.
Luis Miguel proposed refining the installation script to exclude unnecessary components (e.g., RabbitMQ), aiming for a lighter configuration aligned with project needs.

Jeronimo and Paula Ines examined extending Horizon (Django-based) with new views and controllers for Terraform integration.
Jeronimo explained Horizon’s open-source flexibility allows creation of new features such as Terraform script integration.
Luis Miguel confirmed Horizon’s interface is easy to customize (logos, colors), enabling adaptation to project requirements.
Paula Ines raised questions on final platform appearance; Jeronimo clarified it would remain similar to Horizon with added Terraform functionality.

Juan Sebastian successfully installed Terraform, using the OpenStack provider to create a Docker container called “tutorial” with configured ports.
He shared findings on .tf files, and basic commands like init and build, and will distribute a two-hour tutorial to the group.
Team discussed strategies for researching Terraform–OpenStack integration, with Juan Sebastian continuing investigation on defining resources and workflows.

Jeronimo and Luis Miguel noted current user stories are too abstract; they proposed rewriting them to match technical tasks being executed.
New stories will cover concrete actions such as creating virtual environments and installing OpenStack, making progress more measurable.
Team acknowledged challenges in drafting acceptance criteria and agreed to consult the professor during the next session for guidance.

Team identified gaps in networking knowledge, SSH usage, and Terraform integration as primary technical hurdles.
Luis Miguel and Paula Ines flagged the need for more background in cloud networking concepts.
Jeronimo highlighted SSH as a learning priority for advancing OpenStack setup.
Academic workload (exams, assignments) may temporarily reduce available time, but the team remains committed to progressing steadily.

Team agreed to prepare a structured presentation for León, consolidating progress and organizing a demo.
Luis Miguel suggested planning the flow in advance to present a cohesive and professional update.
Members coordinated availability for Monday, deciding to meet in the morning/afternoon before Juan Sebastian’s evening exam.
