What is DevCloud• All-in-one-box solution• Developed by Edison Su

Whats on the disk• VirtualBox• DevCloud2

o DevCloud2_421 : With 4.2.1 branch already checked out and mvn artifacts downloaded [!!!!! IMPORT TAKES TIME!!!!]

Use Cases• Build and develop in DevCloud as isolated

environment (we shall do this)• Build on localhost, deploy on DevCloud• Use DevCloud as Xen hypervisors

Basic Build• Username/password = root/password• Set maven debug options• Build

o Add –DskipTests=true to ” clean install “ command for faster build

• Deploy database• Start WebServer

DevCloud• From host machine : http://192.168.56.10:8080/client• admin/password• Set “host” IP to 192.168.56.10 (56.1 when MS is

outside DevCloud)• Restart Management Server• Deploy using Marvin in another shell

o pip install requestso cd tools/devcloudo python ../marvin/marvin/deployDataCenter.py -i devcloud.cfg

• #Restart Management Server (kill systemvms if any)• Start instance – ALL DONE!!

Try Out• Build CloudStack on localmachine• Use many DevCloud VMs to use as Xen

hypervisors (change iface IPs)• Deploy using Advanced Zone
