Abstract

This document contains the supplemental material to the book “Guidelines for Building a Private Cloud Infrastructure”. This document provides guidance on how to install Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud in virtual environment, and afterwards how to scale out when needed. The purpose of this supplemental book is to provide a practical, step-by-step, detailed guide on how to dimension and install the machines and network. Some initial steps of configuring the cloud are also covered. The installation is performed in a virtual environment based on Windows 7 and VMware Workstation 7. The cloud installation is performed using the (for the time being) newest version of the UEC, based on the Ubuntu 11.04. The installation is performed using “CD Install” method (otherwise, there is also a “Package Install” method ). Eucalyptus version installed is 2.0.2. This document also includes the initial setup of the newly installed cloud, both using the command line tools, and GUI based tool HybridFox.
