“Build an EC2 Compatible Cloud” with Greg DeKoenigsberg

September 26, 2012 · 6:30 PM
Silicon Valley Cloud Center

Eucalyptus is an open source cloud infrastructure that is API-compatible with Amazon’s EC2. In this talk Greg DeKoenigsberg of Eucalyptus is going to give an introduction to Eucalyptus, its uses, how to install it, and how to interface with it, and how to make it compatible with Amazon EC2

Part 1: Greg will demonstrate the Eucalyptus Community Cloud, which
is preconfigured, to get a sense of how Eucalyptus works together with
EC2. Running the same recipes on both, using a single toolset to
manage both, etc.

Part 2: Greg will walk everyone through the process of setting up a cloud
from scratch on a single laptop. Participants should bring a scratch
laptop with minimum of 4G memory and 20G disk and we will put a cloud
on it. We're going to go with Fedora, but the adventurous can go
with Ubuntu or any other OS. The goal: learn the guts of how Euca
clouds work.

Very good presentation including much needed humor, clear answers to audience questions, open talk about competing products, advantages of Eucalyptus product(s) over competitors, and hints on what's coming up in next version.

Enjoyed the demo. It was great to see it work on Kent's plain old hardware.

Actually, CentOS 6 will work as well -- that's what I'll be installing on. We will have CentOS 6 install discs handy for those who need them.

Any idea what version of Fedora? Should I preinstall ? Any other goodies to bring along. Just trying to avoid time installing during the meetup !!

  Shyam, the latest release of Fedora should be fine.

Looking forward to special discussion especially since I had opportunity to attend last week's DreamForce conference.

This event is on Yom Kippur the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. While this many not impact many people, an alternative date would be appreciated by some...

  Jonathan, this is a mistake on our part and I apologize. We are in the process of setting up additional meetups, and we will try and be more aware of potential conflicts like this going forward. Again, full apologies. -Brady (brady[at]eucalyptus[dot]com)

  Additionally I will see if we can record this one, so as to make it available to those who can't attend in person.

  It is easy for non-jewish people to miss this holiday because the calendar is traditional and the holidays fall on different days each year. I have found a google Calendar which keeps these holidays in sync, but once again will be attending the non-live event. I can't thank Eucalyptus enough for providing excellent education online that you can access with even the busiest schedule.

  Thank you Jonathan for bringing this to our attention. I was the one who proposed the date, unaware of the conflict. And thank you Asher for referring me to the Jewish Holidays calendar. I have added it to to my Google Calendar
