34. Chef with knife-cs

35. Exercise?

36. Exercise:
• Goal: Access the exoscale public cloud
• How:
– Get a promo code from me
– Register
– Launch an instance
– Access the instance via ssh with a keypair
generated by exoscale
– Setup cloudmonkey to talk to exoscale

37. Exoscale tips
[server]
path = /compute
host = api.exoscale.ch
protocol = https
•Get you API access and secret key from the exoscale
console under Account details.
•Create a keypair and set it up on your machine
•Edit the security group and add a rule for ssh access
