Amazon on EC2

Commonly know as a Public cloud

Uses XEN technology

Fairly fast

Good architecture/design

de-facto standard for cloud computing today

Ubuntu on Amazon EC2

Amazon EC2 Starter

Everyone knows it, right?

To get started you need:

Browser to use AWS Manager, Rightscale, other mgmt tool

Or for CLI junkies

Java (need the full closed Sun JRE)

AWS Account (http://aws.amazon.com)

Enabled for EC2

Credentials (x.509 cert & private key)

SSH Client

Ubuntu on EC2

Beta 2

US - x86 = ami-69d73000

US - x86_64 = ami-18d73071

Disk size = 10mb

Dynamic hostname upon startup

ec2-ami-tools included for rebundling

2.6.27-19 kernel

Ubuntu = default user

Common to-do items

New startups

Each time you are starting a fresh instance from scratch

AMI tools are bundled in the image for re-bundling

SSH into the image

ssh -i ubuntu@

Always want to update the image to the latest patch level

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Screen is your best friend!

Use Tasksel to add new preconfigured options

LAMP, SAMBA, CUPS, etc

Or just add packages you wish to add

Eucalyptus

Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems

Re-implements Amazon EC2 API

Supports Amazon tools for management

Supports S3

Supports kvm (via libvirt!)

In the Jaunty archives currently (universe)

Opennebula

Derived from Grid project work

http://www.opennebula.org

Abstraction of computational resources

Both local (your datacenter) and remote (Amazon EC2)

5 total packages

2 are of interest

opennebula

core parts

sets up keypair for oneadmin user

opennebula-node

Installs hypervisor (kvm) and libvirt-bin

sets up oneadmin user

Cloud Management

Rightscale

Manages systems

Flexible, robust architecture

Rails based SaaS offering

Cohesive FT

Elastic Server Factory

Create images for nearly every virtualization engine

VPN Cubed

Create a secure cloud

Landscape

Manages individual servers

Will grow to support features similar to Rightscale

As servers are brought up they can then be managed easily

The future
