In this Hands-on lab session you’ll learn how to build and run your own private cloud with Eucalyptus 2.0 systems on Linux CentOS-5.5. It’s assumed that you know how to install, configure and upgrade CentOS-5 server and have a good knowledge working with Linux distros. You’re expected to have at least two Linux boxes (physical or virtual machines), one to install your front-end cloud controller and the other to install the node controller. You’ll learn how to install and configure Eucalyptus cloud on the front-end and nodes. How install and setup Euca2ools for manipulating cloud images. How to build bundle and upload VM images to the cloud. And finally, how to deploy and run these images. In this lab you’ll learn how to build bundle and upload Tinylinux and Ubuntu 9.04 images. Upon completion of this lab session you should have gained skills and expertise to enable you to build and deploy VM servers and your private cloud with Eucalyptus 2.0 system.
