Hands-on Hacking Session by Amogh Vasekar
1. Demo of CloudStack using DevCloud
2. How we got there -
A) Building CloudStack from scratch
B) Deploying databases
C) Configuring your own DevCloud using Marvin
2. Typical Dev Requirements
⢠CloudStack needs a cloud!!
o Hypervisors
o Networking infra
o Storage
⢠Not everyone has access to such expensive
hardware
4. Whats on the disk
⢠VirtualBox
⢠DevCloud2
o DevCloud2_421 : With 4.2.1 branch already checked out and mvn
artifacts downloaded [!!!!! IMPORT TAKES TIME!!!!]
o DevCloud2_Demo : With the cloud already set-up with system VMs etc.
⢠Commands.txt : Useful commands to copy ď
5. VirtualBox
⢠*nix
1. Enable âHost-Onlyâ network
via File -> Preferences ->
Network -> "Add host only
networkâ
2. Right click and select "Edit
host-only network", then
uncheck "Enable server" in the
"DHCP server" tab
3. Skip
4. Enable PAE
5. Skip
⢠Windows
1. Skip
2. Right click and select "Edit hostonly network", then uncheck
"Enable server" in the "DHCP
server" tab
3. Disable Firewall : Administrative
Tools > Windows Firewall with
Advanced Security. Click on the
"Windows Firewall Properties"
(central panel, possibly quite
small print) and for each of the
profiles (Domain, Private, Public)
click on the Protected Network
Connections "Customize..."
button and uncheck the "Virtual
Box Host only Networkâ
4. Enable PAE
5. Match âHost Onlyâ network
6. Use Cases
⢠Build and develop in DevCloud as isolated
environment (we shall do this)
⢠Build on localhost, deploy on DevCloud
⢠Use DevCloud as Xen hypervisors
7. Basic Build
⢠Username/password = root/password
⢠Set maven debug options
⢠Build
o Add âDskipTests=true to â clean install â command for faster build
⢠Deploy database
⢠Start WebServer
8. DevCloud
⢠From host machine : http://192.168.56.10:8080/client
⢠admin/password
⢠Set âhostâ IP to 192.168.56.10 (56.1 when MS is
outside DevCloud)
⢠Restart Management Server
⢠Deploy using Marvin in another shell
o pip install requests
o cd tools/devcloud
o python ../marvin/marvin/deployDataCenter.py -i devcloud.cfg
⢠#Restart Management Server (kill systemvms if any)
⢠Start instance â ALL DONE!!
9. Try Out
⢠Build CloudStack on localmachine
⢠Use many DevCloud VMs to use as Xen hypervisors
(change iface IPs)
⢠Deploy using Advanced Zone
