IaaS cloud computing software is very complex and usually requires many resources like multiple servers, it’s own network and storage. With the virtual sandbox lab, we built in the previous post, we can remove all of the hardware requirements and install Eucalyptus on a single system and not loose any functionality.
This is a great learning tool. We can build a complete Eucalyptus IaaS cloud, learn how to install Eucalyptus, practice cloud computing tasks, and how Eucalyptus might fit in your business. Since Eucalyptus is API compliant with Amazon AWS (EC2, S3, EBS and IAM) you can learn work with a hybrid cloud.
Let’s get started installing Eucalyptus in our sandbox.
Note: This configuration is only supported by our awesome community.
First we need to download the Eucalyptus SilverEye installer ISO: http://downloads.eucalyptus.com/software/contrib/silvereye/ and save it on the lab machine. This ISO is all we will need to build the complete Eucalyptus cloud.
