Build & Deploy a Private Cloud using OpenNebula Cloud Computing

Introduction
OpenNebula is currently the leading and most advanced framework for cloud computing. Its extremely easy to set setup be running. Furthermore, its flexible, extensible and with excellent performance and scalability to manage tens of thousands of VMs: Private cloud with Xen, KVM and VMware; Hybrid cloud with Amazon EC2 and ElasticHosts, and other providers through Deltacloud (from ecosystem); Public cloud supporting EC2 Query, OGF OCCI and vCloud (from ecosystem) APIs, and much more. Cloud computing comes into focus only when you think about what IT always needs: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing new software. Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends IT's existing capabilities. Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-asa-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams. A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time; and the service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access). Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet and a weak economy, have accelerated interest in cloud computing.

Hands-On Labs Session


In this Hands-on manual, you will learn to setup your own private cloud with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and OpenNebula . We assume that your infrastructure follows a classical cluster-like architecture, with a frontend (cluster controller cluster01, and a set of cluster nodes (node01, node02 etc). The entire hands-on lab was done using VMware, however, you can also use any other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Oracle. Upon completion of this hands-on lab session you should have gained expertise and skills to plan design implement and deploy your own private cloud using OpenNebula Cloud computing on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server.

Assumptions:
1. Its assumed that you have a good understanding of Linux operating system and its working environment. Its also assumed that you know how to install and configure Ubuntu Linux server, if not go ahead and pop over to scribd.com and check out a good hands-on manual entitled Step-By-Step Install Guide Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Server to get you started.

Part 1: Pre-Requisite
Step 1: Check OpenNebula Package 1. First youll need to check if the OpenNebula packages exist in your Ubuntu distro. 2. If everything is set up correctly you could see the OpenNebula packages: $ apt-cache search opennebula libopennebula-dev - OpenNebula client library - Development libopennebula1 - OpenNebula client library - Runtime opennebula - OpenNebula controller opennebula-common - OpenNebula common files opennebula-node - OpenNebula node 3. If all is OK, then we are good to go!

Step 2: Configure Network Interfaces and Hostnames On each machine, set network interfaces with static IP address and hostnames. 1. On cluster controller and nodes, set hostname & IP address as follows (change as desired!) 192.168.83.20 192.168.83.21 192.168.83.22 ... cluster01.govoncloud.com cluster01 node01.govoncloud.com node01 node02.govoncloud.com node02

2. Ensure you have tested your connectivity between machines using ping command via IP address and hostnames, e.g., from cluster01, ping node01 and vise versa: krabah@cluster01: ~$ ping 192.168.83.21 krabah@cluster01: ~$ ping node01.govoncloud.com 3. Youre done with this section.

Part 2: Install OpenNebula Cloud


Step 1: Front-end installation [Front-end (cluster01)] Install the opennebula package. During installation the apt-get command performs several configuration steps: creates a oneadmin account, generates a rsa key pair, and starts the OpenNebula daemon: 1. To install opennebula package, issue the following command: $ sudo apt-get install opennebula Note: In order to copy SSH keys, the oneadmin user will need to have a password, therefore, issue the command set the password: sudo passwd oneadmin 2. Youre done with this section.

Step 2: install the Cluster Nodes 1. [Cluster Nodes (node01,node02 etc.)] On each computer install the OpenNebula Node package: sudo apt-get install opennebula-node 3. When done you should see the info as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1

Note: In order to copy SSH keys, the oneadmin user will need to have a password. On each machine execute: sudo passwd oneadmin 2. Youre done with this section.

Step 3: Copy Oneadmin SSH Keys 1. From the Front-End: Now, copy the oneadmin user's SSH key to the Compute Nodes, and to the Front-End's authorized_keys file:
sudo scp /var/lib/one/.ssh/id_rsa.pub oneadmin@node01:/var/lib/one/.ssh/authorized_keys sudo scp /var/lib/one/.ssh/id_rsa.pub oneadmin@node02:/var/lib/one/.ssh/authorized_keys sudo sh -c "cat /var/lib/one/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> /var/lib/one/.ssh/authorized_keys"

2. The SSH key for the Computer Nodes needs to be added to the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file on the Front-End host. To accomplish this ssh to each Computer Node as a user other than oneadmin: For example, lets ssh to cluster node01 with username krabah, as shown in Fig. 2: sudo u krabah ssh node01

Fig. 2: Login to the node1 from cluster01.

Note: repeat the same to all other cluster nodes!

3. Then exit from the SSH session, type exit, and then execute the following to copy the SSH key from ~/.ssh/known_hosts to /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts:
sudo sh -c "ssh-keygen -f .ssh/known_hosts -F node01 1>> /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts" sudo sh -c "ssh-keygen -f .ssh/known_hosts -F node02 1>> /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts"

Note: Replace node01 and node02 with your own hostnames if different. This allows the oneadmin to use scp, without a password or manual intervention, to deploy an image to the Computer Nodes. 4. Youre done with this section.

Step 4: Create Directory to Store Images on the Front-End 1. On the Front-End create a directory to store the VM images, giving the oneadmin user access to the directory:
sudo mkdir /var/lib/one/images sudo chown oneadmin /var/lib/one/images/

2. Finally, youll need to copy a virtual machine disk file into "/var/lib/one/images". You can create an Ubuntu virtual machine using vmbuilder. 3. Youre done with this section
