Eucalyptus - Installation Manual Eucalyptus - Installation Manual Hannes Gamper and Tomi Pievil¨ainen December 3, 2009, Espoo Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Requirements 1 3 Installation procedure 2 3.1 Install Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition and Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud . 2 3.2 Step 1 - Prerequisites . 2 3.3 Step 2 - System Installation and Configuration . 2 3.4 Step 3 - Registering UEC Components . 3 3.5 Step 4 - Initial Login . 3 1 Introduction Cloud computing systems provide users with access to large amounts of computational resources and data [4]. Virtualisation is used to hide information like physical location and architectural details of the resources from the user. Eucalyptus is an open-source software framework for cloud computing implementing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It is tailored for the use in the research community. Users can run and control virtual machine instances on a variety of physical resources found within academic settings. 2 Requirements Eucalyptus can be installed via the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, introduced in Ubuntu 9.04 [3]. The following installation instructions are based on Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition. In terms of hardware requirements recommended minimum specification is a a dual-core 2.2 GHz processor with virtualization extension (Intel-VT or AMD-V), 4GB RAM and 100 GB hard drive. 1 3 Installation procedure • Ubuntu 9.10, server edition • dual-core 2.2 GHz processor with virtualization extension (Intel-VT or AMD-V), 4GB RAM and 100 GB hard drive. • port 22 needs to be open for admins (for maintenance) • port 8443 needs to be open for users for controlling and sending requests to the cloud via a web interface 3 Installation procedure The installation instructions in this manual closely follow those given on the \Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud" homepage [2], with some remarks regarding installation from scratch via the Ubuntu 9.10 server edition. Execute the following steps to install Eucalyptus: 3.1 Install Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition and Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud • download the Ubuntu 9.10 Server edition and install it • during the Ubuntu installation procedure, select \installing UEC" (Ubuntu Enter- prise Cloud) to install Eucalyptus • after successful installation, update the software and restart your computer: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade 3.2 Step 1 - Prerequisites • set up mailhost • ensure eucalyptus-cloud and eucalyptus-cc are installed and updated 3.3 Step 2 - System Installation and Configuration • install the eucalyptus node controller: $ sudo apt-get install eucalyptus-nc • set up a bridge as the node's primary interface: { edit /etc/network/interfaces to look as follows: $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop $ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces 2 3 Installation procedure auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_fd 9 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 bridge_stp off { Restart the network: $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking start Now configure Eucalyptus: • Edit /etc/sysctl.conf according to the UEC tutorial [2] $ sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf 3.4 Step 3 - Registering UEC Components • register a cluster and register your node with the cluster $ sudo euca_conf -addcluster <clustername> localhost $ sudo euca_conf -addnode <node_hostname> 3.5 Step 4 - Initial Login • Initial login: cannot be done remotely, has to be done locally: establish an SSH tunnel into cloud controller and access the cloud controller using a web browser $ ssh <username>@<cloud-controller> -L localport:localhost:8443 • open a web browser window and type https://<localhost>:<localport>/ • on the login page, download the X.509 certificate, to allow the command line tools to authenticate themselves against the cloud controller • set up EC2 API and AMI (see howto [1]) • now the users can access the cloud's http-page to register (necessary!) and use the EC2 tools 3 References References [1] Amazon.

  • A Comparative Study of Current Open-Source Infrastructure As a Service Frameworks
    A Comparative Study of Current Open-source Infrastructure as a Service Frameworks Theo Lynn, Graham Hunt, David Corcoran, John Morrison and Philip Healy Irish Centre for Cloud Computing, Dublin 9, Ireland Keywords: Cloud Computing, Open Source, IaaS, Openstack, Cloudstack, Opennebula, Eucalyptus. Abstract: With the growth of cloud computing in recent years, several commercial and open source IaaS frameworks have emerged. The development of open source IaaS solutions offers a free and flexible alternative to commercial cloud services. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a qualitative comparative of current open-source IaaS frameworks. Existing research papers examining open source IaaS frameworks have focused on comparing OpenStack with a small number of alternatives. However, current research fails to adequately compare all major open source frameworks in a single study and notably lacks the inclusion of CloudStack. Our research paper provides the first overview of the five main open source cloud IaaS frameworks – OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Eucalyptus and Nimbus. As such, this review provides researchers and potential users with an up to date and comprehensive overview of the features of each solution and allows for an easy comparison between the open source solutions. 1 INTRODUCTION the freedom to modify the source code and build a cloud that is pluggable and open to extensions while Cloud Computing technologies have seen significant reducing costs and avoiding vendor lock-in (Zhang adoption in recent years by enterprises, researchers et al., 2013; Wen et al. 2012; Bist et al., 2013).

  • Appscale: Open-Source Platform-As-A-Service
    AppScale: Open-Source Platform-As-A-Service Chandra Krintz Chris Bunch Navraj Chohan Computer Science Department University of California Santa Barbara, CA USA UCSB Technical Report #2011-01 January 2011 ABSTRACT In this paper we overview AppScale, an open source cloud platform. AppScale is a distributed and scalable cloud runtime system that executes cloud applications in public, private, and hybrid cloud settings. AppScale implements a set of APIs in support of common and popular cloud services and functionality. This set includes those defined by the Google App Engine public cloud as well as those for large-scale data analytics and high-performance computing. Our goal with AppScale is to enable research and experimentation into cloud computing and to facilitate a ``write once, run anywhere'' programming model for the cloud, i.e., to expedite portable application development and deployment across disparate cloud fabrics. In this work, we describe the current AppScale APIs and the ways in which users can deploy AppScale clouds and applications in public and private settings. In addition, we describe the internals of the system to give insight into how developers can investigate and extend AppScale as part of research and development on next-generation cloud software and services. INTRODUCTION AppScale is a scalable, distributed, and fault-tolerant cloud runtime system that we have developed at the University of California, Santa Barbara as part of our research into the next generation of programming systems (Chohan, et al., 2009; Bunch, et al., 2010; Bunch (2) et.al, 2010). In particular, AppScale is a cloud platform, i.e. a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud fabric that executes over cluster resources.
