Easy Cloudstack Installation - Your own cloud infrastructure

Please refer to my previous posts regarding creating your cloud service like digital ocean or google cloud. Part 1 and Part-2 and Part-3 . Also most important listening your VMs on external IPs here -4

In Part-3 we have also seen how to install opennebula. Opennebula is an alternative to openstack/ cloudstack.

what is Cloud Stack?

Alt Text

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution.

Easy Installation
This is a build your own IaaS cloud guide on setting up a Apache CloudStack based cloud on a single Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS) host that is also used as a KVM host.

Please refer to my previous post for different types of hypervisors and how to find they are enabled.

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
1-
ENSURE :Ensure that the universe repository is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Universe is enabled by default so you usually don't need to do this. You could edit the sources file from the terminal:
sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list

And then uncomment the universe sections of the following lines

#deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe
#deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates universe

2:
apt-get install openntpd openssh-server sudo vim htop tar -y

cloudstack-setup-management

23. Check your cloud logs:

systemctl status cloudstack-management
tail -f /var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log

ctrl+c to stop the logs

24.

After management server is UP, proceed to http://192.168.1.10(cloudbr0-IP):8080/client and log in using the default credentials - username admin and password password.

25.

If you have public IP then you can use IP tables to listen http://192.168.1.10:8080 on your http://PiblicIP:Port as detailed in my previous post here
