Eucalyptus Private Cloud Setup

It is not always possible for an organization to move into the public cloud. Most organizations do not want to or hesitate moving their organization's data into the cloud. However, cloud deployments can significantly bring down the operation costs of an organizations.

To fully utilize the resources, organizations have started drifting towards the private clous. According to a Gartener Research, the market for private clouds will double by year 2015 leading to more private cloud deployments in organization facing inefficient and underutilization of resources. There are already a number of open source cloud platforms that can convert any datacenter into a private cloud without any expenses. Opensource projects like Eucalyptus, Opennebula an Openstack are among the most promising open source initiatives bringing the industry standard cloud standards to the private cloud.While setting up private clouds is not rocket science, migration from datatcenter to a private cloud is a complex task. In this post, I will provide the setup for Eucaluptus Commmuntiy Editiion , one of the most popular open-source cloud computing framework. The installation step for eucalyptus are briefly described below.

Eucalyptus Front-end Installation

Installation from source: On a linux distribution, eucalyptus can be easily installed from source.(Assuming eucalyptus source and dependencies package are in home directory) export VERSION=2.0.1 ##### Install the eucalyptus dependencies.

apt-get install gcc make apache2-threaded-dev ant openjdk-6-jdk libvirt-dev libcurl4-dev dhcp3-server vblade apache2 unzip curl vlan bridge-utils libvirt-bin kvm sudo vtun
##### Untar eucalyptus-source tar zvxf eucalyptus-$VERSION-src-offline.tar.gz

Eucalyptus Node Controller Installation

To install from source, follow the steps used for installing eucalyptus. (or use the installation script for installation eucalyptus)
$EUCALYPTUS/usr/sbin/euca_conf -d $EUCALYPTUS --setup

#Modify /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf user = "eucalyptus"

#Modify /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf

The nc.log file updates continuously with each line added when Eucalyptus-CC invokes describeResources() on the Eucalyptus-NC. At this point, the machine is configured with Xen and Eucalyptus Node Controller.

Using Euca2ools to interact with Eucalyptus

Log in into the Eucalyptus at

https://192.168.0.1:8443 For administrator: The default user id and password is admin. Log in and change the password and provide a valid email address at which you want to receive the approval mails. Download the credentials file to the local machine. The name of the file should be euca2-admin-x509.zip. Source the .eucarc file from the zip.

mkdir $HOME/.euca unzip euca2-admin-x509.zip -d $HOME/.euca . $HOME/.euca/eucarc Obtaining Xen Kernel Images 1. Xen kernel images can be downloaded from Eucalyptus Webite. However it is always possible to use the Dom0 kernel as DomU kernel. Generating the key euca-add-keypair mykey | tee mykey.private chmod 0600 mykey.private
(Remember the location of the key as this will be the directory from where you will be able to ssh into your instances.)
