I want to make a cloud computing testing environment on my in-house network. I m using Ubuntu (just to work on; i don t want to watch Gentoo compile screens all time:) and I plan to make an Eucalyptus installation for a cloud platform. I want to get the most of my Core2Quad and Core2Duo machines:) What I need a cloud for?
- Mysql replication and sharding
- Load ballancing testing
- Gearman web application scaling
- ... and another multi-machine solutions
I m on my way to select a hypervisor for this solution between Xen, KVM and probably OpenVZ. I d like to hear all you advises concerning this technologies. Possible requirements:
- Support virtual machine creating from templates
- Support several virtual machines running with ssh access
- Ability to load both from HDD images and raw disk partitions
- Not very long learning curve
- It would be very good if one had some kind of GUI (both desktop and web interfaces are acceptable)
As for my previous searches: found this http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/ tool available. and this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/kvm-guest-management-with-virt-manager-on-ubuntu-8.10-p2 - some kind of relevancy present. Some good info was found here - http://lwn.net/Articles/330872/ and here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Eucalyptus-Jaunty
Feel free to say your thoughts about it and provide additional information you concern relevant. Thank you.
