If you are an administrator or student who wants to practice your Eucalyptus cloud skills, this post is for you. If you are a training provider or academic institution that wants to offer an education experience using Eucalyptus software, this post is also for you.
Starting March 4, 2013, you can rent unsupported user access to a Eucalyptus cloud, or the hardware necessary to build your own cloud, for the purpose of running...
Latest updates to Eutester4j are now live on github!
Thanks for the feedback. Eutester4j is now implemented as a library. Simply import it into your test class and start using it today. There are now many Auto Scaling ops supported including CRUD of Launch Configs, Auto Scaling Groups and Auto Scaling Policies. Along with a host of other little niceties for writing tests. As always...

EucaStart 1.0 Review
In Eucalyptus consulting, the EucaStart was a three or four day onsite engagement composed of three main components:
- A day of knowledge transfer on Eucalyptus,
- An architectural review and planning session based on customer equipment, and
- A day or two...
As is probably quite evident, I’ve recently been using Ansible to deploy workloads into EC2 and Eucalyptus. One of the ideas behind this is convenience of being able to leverage the common API to achieve a hybrid deployment scenario. Thanks to various folk (names mentioned in previous posts) we have a solid ec2 boto-based Python module for instance launching. One thing I wanted to do when spinning up instances and configuring a workload was to add some persistent storage for the...
A few weeks ago I was asked to write some tests to test using the AWS Java SDK with Eucalyptus. At Eucalyptus we have a very nice test system framework, Eutester, that aims to provide the framework for cloud architects and administrators to validate and benchmark their various AWS-compatible cloud infrastructure options. I thought to myself, "Dude, if I'm going...
So...I've re-thought and re-wrote a lot (almost all) of Eutester4j's operations. I've also put together a test suite with several Auto Scaling tests that have been delivered by Steve Jones of the services development team as part of Eucalyptus 3.3 work. These changes should be on github today or tomorrow (pending a pull request) Thanks to all who have provided feedback and support.
For fun here is a recent test run against 3.3 dev branch (note: the multiple availability zone test...
我们意识到只有少数大规模的软件部署（包括Eucalyptus和其他软件）是完全按照计划进行的。这个文档简单描述了基于Eucalyptus部署一个应用于生产环境的私有云的关键环节。这个文档的目的是帮助帮助桉树团队与客户方面进行有效沟通，使得部署计划能够按计划进行，以量化的方式评估并记录项目进度，最终向客户交付基于Eucalyptus的私有云。我们并不认为所有的部署都能够精确地按照本文档所描述的步骤 进行。这个文档的目的是为一个新的项目提供一个指导性的框架，帮助桉树团队与客户方面进行有效沟通，制订合理的部署规划，并且按照部署计划付诸实施。
...Hi folks - just a quick note that we're working on getting everything set up on GitHub regarding our newly open-sourced Education Services training materials. In the meantime, for those who want to go ahead and get their hands on them, we've decided to temporarily make everything available via DropBox. Please note: all materials here are licensed under the same terms as Eucalyptus documentation, which is also open. For questions about that license, refer to this document:

Following on from my post on how to deploy multiple instances of the Eucalyptus deployment console I figured I’d make it more useful and add an HAProxy load balancer in front of the user consoles. With the playbook found here, you should be able to deploy as many consoles as you want and add a single load balancer in front of them.
There are some...
Just read this latest blog from Brian Thomason, Engineer at Eucalyptus System, Inc. He leads us to the promise land on how to create your own debian packages for Eucalyptus 3.2.
