- Intoduction
This wiki web page documents the possible implementation of the OpenStack cloud infrastructure in order to evaluate the possible deployment on campus.
The OpenStack system is very beneficial because it is Open Source and uses Open Standards. A brief overview of OpenStack is displayed below.
- OpenStack Provisioning
MAAS (Metal As A Service) is the service from Ubuntu which provides easy installation of metal servers to the OpenStack cloud and provides the "Standard Hardware" layer pictured above. Once the metal servers are provisioned then "Juju" charms are used to install components of the OpenStack cloud which provides the "OpenStack Shared Services" layer pictured above. Finally cloud services ("Your Applications") are provided by the "OpenStack Dashboard" pictured above.
- Demo Server Download
A live CD of the demo server can be downloaded from the following link:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-cloud-live/releases/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-cloud-live-amd64.iso
- Demo Server Instructions
These instructions apply to a 64bit computer registered on the campus network.
- Create a bootable USB stick from the CD and then boot your test computer with the USB stick.
- After booting the USB stick, open the Google Chrome browser on the Unity Launcher and open an internet connection by going to https://inetkey.sun.ac.za.
- Open the "GettingStarted" file on the desktop and follow the instructions.
