This page describes how the stoney conductor Lean Provisioning works.

Work Flow

  1. Create the Virtual Machine Profile:
    1. Step I: Select a Base Profile
    2. Step II: Set the Profile Meta Data:
      Set the Profile ISO File: Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst.iso or Gentoo_Linux_2013.0.iso
      Set the Profile Name: Fedora Linux 18 64-Bit Profile or Gentoo Linux 2013.0 64-Bit Profile
      Set the Profile Description: Fedora Linux 18 64-Bit Profile or Gentoo Linux 2013.0 64-Bit Profile
      Display the Profile Operating System: Linux or Windows (read only, this information is available from Step I)
      Set the Profile Operating System Type: Fedora, Gentoo or Server 2008 R2
      Set the Profile Operating System Version: 18 (Linux Fedora), 2013.0 (Linux Gentoo) or Standard (Windows Server 2008 R2)
      Set the Profile Memory: 1 Gigabyte
      Set the Profile Disk Size: 30 Gigabyte
      Set the Profile CPU number(s): 1
      Set the Profile Clock Offset: utc
  2. Create the Virtual Machine Template:
    1. Step I: Select a Profile
    2. Step II: Set the Virtual Machine Data:
      Set the Virtual Machine Pool: vm-template-virtual-machine-pool-01
      Set the Virtual Machine Node: foss-cloud-node-01.stepping-stone.ch
      Display the Virtual Machine Name: kvm-0001.stepping-stone.ch (read only, created by the vm-manager)
      Set the Virtual Machine Description: Gentoo Linux 2013.0 Template
      Display the Virtual Machine Operating System: Linux (read only, taken from the virtual machine profile)
      Display the Virtual Machine Operating System Type: Gentoo (read only, taken from the virtual machine profile)
      Display the Virtual Machine Operating System Version: 2013.0 (read only, taken from the virtual machine profile)
      Set the Virtual Machine Memory: 1 Gigabyte
      Set the Virtual Machine Disk Size: 30 Gigabyte
      Set the Virtual Machine CPU number(s): 1
      Set the Virtual Machine Clock Offset: utc
  3. Install the Virtual Machine Template with the chosen operating system.
    The administrator can now install the operating system on the virtual machine template.
    As the last step, the administrator executes the sysprep script in the virtual machine template (this makes sure, that virtual machine template is in a sane state and is shut down).
    The administrator releases the freshly installed virtual machine template in the vm-manager: ready for use
  4. Create the Persistent Virtual Machine:
    Choose the Persistent Virtual Machine Pool: persistent-virtual-machine-pool-01
    Choose the Virtual Machine Node: foss-cloud-node-02.stepping-stone.ch (this choice depends on the Persistent Virtual Machine Pool)
    Display the Persistent Virtual Machine Name: kvm-0002.stepping-stone.ch (read only, created by the vm-manager)
    Set the Virtual Machine Description: Django Server for Customers
    Set the Persistent Virtual Machine Type: Server
    Choose the Software Stack: Django (Version 1) or Django (Version 2) (display this field only if one or more software stacks relevant for the chosen operating system, type and version exist, otherwise disable (grey listing))
    Choose the Persistent Virtual Machine Environment: Test, Development or Production (display this field only if one or more environments exist for the chosen software stack, otherwise disable (grey listing))

Notizen

  • Unterscheidung zwischen einmaliger Installation und wiederkehrend? Ist für uns interessant, wenn wir Sachen automatisch aufsetzen wollen, jedoch nicht monatlich verrechnen können.
  • Installation durch Puppet (kein Maintenance): Einmalige Kosten
  • Installation durch Puppet (mit Mainteenance): Keine einmaligen Kosten, dafür wiederkehrende Kosten.,
