It’s lean, fast and powerful – Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition has a bunch of other features that have been tweaked and improved. The server edition includes the MySQL 5.1 database, tighter integration with the PowerNap server quiescing tool, and support for the Web-Based Enterprise Management protocol (WBEM), so system management tools from the major server makers (IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard) as well as those from CA can reach in and monitor and manage Ubuntu as they do other operating systems. The 9.10 server update also sports performance improvements for both the KVM and Xen hypervisors. Just because KVM is the preferred hypervisor doesn't mean Canonical has to ignore Xen, just like Red Hat, which owns the KVM hypervisor (well, essentially) is still tweaking Xen with its releases. ®. It also includes improved installation and management tools for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) and Amazon EC2. You don't have to do anything special to get the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud tools. They are part of the Ubuntu Server 9.10 distribution. For example, people who have been exploring cloud computing do not have rely only to the public clouds – the UEC allows individuals and companies to build private cloud internally first, and then think about how to make use of public clouds like EC2. Amazon EC2-compatible Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud. Hands-on Labs In this Hands-on Lab session, you’ll learn how to setup virtual network on VMware (you may also use any other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Oracle). In this lab session, we’ll concentrate on installing Linux Ubuntu 9.10 LTS Server which you can then later use to install any other applications as desired. You will learn how to pre-install DNS server, LAMP server, Mail server, OpenSSL server, PostgreSQL database, Tomcat Java Server during the initial system installation. Once you installed and updated the server, then you can use it to install GNOME Desktop, LAMP; DNS server, Postfix mail server with Dovecot for POP3/IMAP, Evolution mail client, and Webmin to help you with administrating and configuring other application servers like Apache2, MySQL, FTP, DNS etc. You’ll also have opportunity to learn some troubleshooting techniques and also do some lab assignments at the end of the lab session. Part 1: Install & Configure Ubuntu 9.10 LTS (Karmic Koala) Server Step 1: Getting Started & Hardware Pre-requisites Ubuntu runs on inexpensive, commodity hardware. To support a small practice like OSCAR, web-server etc., we recommend a minimum configuration of 200Gb Disk, 2Gb RAM, and a 2GHz Intel Dual Core CPU. For maximum subsystem compatibility, we suggest that you install the 32bit version of Ubuntu. If 1 © April 2007, Kefa Rabah, Global Open Versity, Vancouver Canada www.globalopenversity.org ICT105 – Ubuntu Server Administration Training Global Open Versity ICT Labs Install Guide Linux Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Server v1.0 you are purchasing a computer to run OSCAR, one option is to order the machine with Ubuntu pre- installed. In this Hands-on Labs, it’s assumed that your target computer is connected to the internet. After installing the operating system, log into your machine and ensure you perform software updates to bring your systems up-to-date. Step 2: Install Linux Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 1. Hope over to http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/. website and download the Linux Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit ISO which at the time of writing this lab manual was "Ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso" 2. Once you have downloaded the Ubuntu ISO specific to your distribution, you have the option burning it into CD or just by using the ISO package to install it from your virtual machine, in our case VMware. 3. Fire-up a new virtual machine and perform the initial configuration and setup to use ISO package. 4. Start the virtual machine, and you should be able to see the first Ubuntu installation screen. 5. From Fig. 1, select the language desired and hit Enter key. Fig. 1 6. From Fig. 2, select the option desired and then hit the Enter key to commence installation.

    International Journal of E-Business Development May. 2013, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, PP. 64-74 An Approach for the Composition of Generic Cloud- Based Services Using XRI-Based APIs for Enabling New E-Business Antonio Celesti1, Francesco Tusa2, Massimo Villari3, Antonio Puliafito4 DICIEAMA, Università degli Studi di Messina Contrada Di Dio, S. Agata 98166, Messina, Italia [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract-Nowadays, cloud computing offers more and more business opportunities, and thanks to the concept of virtualization, different types of cost-effective Cloud-based services have been rising. Virtualization of computing, storage, and networking resources, and their interconnection is at the heart of cloud computing, hence enabling new E-Business scenarios. In such a context, APIs for enabling Cloud-based services are strongly required, nevertheless, methods, mechanisms and tools for exploiting virtualized resources and their utilization for developing anything as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. In this paper, we discuss how to use an adaptive standard protocol, i.e., XRI, for enabling cloud service providers to arrange their own Cloud- based services, building them on top of the IaaS provided by other service providers. Keywords- Cloud Computing; Cloud Management; Federation; Service Composition; E-Business I. INTRODUCTION Today, cloud computing represents a tempting business opportunity for ICT operators of increasing their revenues [1,2]. The cloud ecosystem begins to be clearer and the role played by cloud service providers appears more defined than the past. Moreover, the number of new public, private, and hybrid clouds rising all over the world is continually growing [3].

  • 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).
