2. 0:08in this video tutorial we will guide you
3. 0:11how to install a patchy Cloud stack for
4. 0:13the first time although Cloud stack is
5. 0:15known for its ease of installation and
6. 0:17use it's not always easy first time this
7. 0:20video will show you how to do a simple
8. 0:22installation the right way fast and easy
9. 0:26first let's learn the key terminology
10. 0:28used in Apache Cloud stack
11. 0:30following this we will guide you through
12. 0:32the specific requirements regarding this
13. 0:34tutorial subsequently leading you to the
14. 0:36detailed installation steps finally
15. 0:39we'll quickly demonstrate how to operate
16. 0:41Cloud stack when it's up and
17. 0:44running Cloud stack has a hierarchy of
18. 0:47organizational
19. 0:48units at the highest level is the region
20. 0:51that represents the largest
21. 0:52organizational unit that can Encompass
22. 0:54one or more zones zones are often mapped
23. 0:58to Data Centers by cloudstack op
24. 1:00operators zones are subdivided into
25. 1:03smaller units known as pods which often
26. 1:05equate to a rack in a data center each
27. 1:08pod contains a collection of clusters
28. 1:11which are the next level down in the
29. 1:13hierarchy within each cluster we find
30. 1:16individual hosts which are the
31. 1:17fundamental building blocks of the cloud
32. 1:19infrastructure in Apache Cloud stack
33. 1:22there are two distinct types of storage
34. 1:25primary storage is used for the instance
35. 1:27volumes and can be associated with a
36. 1:29cluster or or a Zone depending the
37. 1:31hypervisor support secondary storage
38. 1:34which can be of a lower grade or more
39. 1:36costeffective is utilized for storing
40. 1:38templates ISO images and volume
41. 1:40snapshots within each zone for this
42. 1:43tutorial we are adhering to the minimum
43. 1:45requirements as referred by the official
44. 1:48Apache cloudstack documentation these
45. 1:50requirements Encompass the
46. 1:52specifications for the management server
47. 1:54and KVM
48. 1:55hosts the designated machine for the
49. 1:58management server must fulfill the
50. 1:59following criteria Rocky Linux 8 as the
51. 2:02operating system with a minimum of two
52. 2:05CPU cores 8 GB of
53. 2:08memory 500 GB of local dis space at
54. 2:12least one network card and a statically
55. 2:14allocated IP address are required
56. 2:17Additionally the management server needs
57. 2:19to have a fully qualified domain name
58. 2:21which can be verified through the
59. 2:22hostname command for the KVM hosts we
60. 2:26recommend the following
61. 2:27specifications Rocky Linux 88 equipped
62. 2:30with a minimum of eight CPU cores that
63. 2:32support hardware virtualization 32 GB of
64. 2:35RAM and 150 GB of local dis space a KVM
65. 2:40host requires at least two network cards
66. 2:42and a statistically allocated IP address
67. 2:45along with a fully qualified domain name
68. 2:47that can be verified using the host name
69. 2:49command additionally consider setting up
70. 2:52the native VLAN on the switch for host
71. 2:54IP address access as the KVM host
72. 2:56network card will be utilized for
73. 2:58establishing connections with the guest
74. 3:00and public network vlans for the
75. 3:02networking setup consider using either a
76. 3:05dedicated switch or a shared one
77. 3:07ensuring sufficient ports to connect the
78. 3:09management server and the KVM host with
79. 3:11a minimum availability of 1 gbit per
80. 3:13second ports additionally allocate 10
81. 3:17dedicated vlans to facilitate the guest
82. 3:20networks for the public network allocate
83. 3:23at least 10 IP addresses as per RFC 791
84. 3:26or 1918 depending on whether you intend
85. 3:29to provide public public or internal
86. 3:30access to the cloud resources
87. 3:32additionally configure one layer 3 VLAN
88. 3:35that is routable to either the internet
89. 3:37or the office Network these resources
90. 3:39will be utilized for source and
91. 3:41instances
92. 3:43services for the cloudstack management
93. 3:45Network Reserve 10 IP addresses in
94. 3:48accordance with RFC
95. 3:491918 these will be utilized by
96. 3:51cloudstack to manage the cloudstack
97. 3:53system VMS and to handle the storage
98. 3:56traffic with all requirements in place
99. 3:59the proposed designed for this tutorial
100. 4:01encompasses a topof rack switch a single
101. 4:04management server host to act as the
102. 4:06cloudstack management server the mySQL
103. 4:09database and an NFS server this is a
104. 4:12very simple configuration of
105. 4:14cloudstack for the KVM hosts you can
106. 4:17scale the setup as needed replicating
107. 4:19the steps outlined in this tutorial for
108. 4:21each additional unit thereby ensuring a
109. 4:23flexible and adaptable infrastructure
110. 4:26that can evolve with your demands the
111. 4:28cloudstack installation process consists
112. 4:31of the following steps management server
113. 4:34preconfiguration cloudstack installation
114. 4:37hypervisor setup with the hardware
115. 4:39requirements in place and a foundational
116. 4:42understanding of the essential
117. 4:43terminology of cloudstack let's get
118. 4:46started ensure that DNS entries are
119. 4:48established for both the management
120. 4:50server and the KVM hosts in the internal
121. 4:52DNS server additionally incorporate the
122. 4:56public IP addresses for the public
123. 4:57network to facilitate name resolution
124. 4:59solution for the NFS storage configure
125. 5:02it with the default settings exporting
126. 5:04the contents of the/ exort directory
127. 5:07this directory should contain two
128. 5:09additional subdirectories primary and
129. 5:12secondary which will be utilized during
130. 5:14the Zone creation process for further
131. 5:17tuning and optimization please refer to
132. 5:19the official cloudstock
133. 5:21documentation ensure that the IP address
134. 5:23for the management server is statically
135. 5:26configured additionally set the SE Linux
136. 5:29to permissive mode and ensure that the
137. 5:31ntp client is configured properly
138. 5:34finally configure the mySQL database in
139. 5:36accordance with the official Cloud stock
140. 5:41documentation connect via SSH to the
141. 5:44cloudstack management
142. 5:46host make sure you have already
143. 5:48installed the eil release package before
144. 5:50proceed then create the cloudstack
145. 5:53repository file and install cloudstack
146. 5:55management
147. 6:03after it's installed run the cloudstack
148. 6:05setup databases command it will set up
149. 6:07the MySQL and populate the cloud schema
150. 6:10to your
151. 6:11database in this tutorial setup we have
152. 6:13designated Cloud as the database user
153. 6:16and password as the corresponding
154. 6:18password the deploy as argument is only
155. 6:21required when setting up the first
156. 6:23management server at this point if
157. 6:26you've set root user credentials you'll
158. 6:28need to enter them ensuring they match
159. 6:30the password you determined during the
160. 6:31MySQL configuration process now run the
161. 6:35cloudstack setup management command as
162. 6:37you can see it has configured the
163. 6:39required IP tables rules to allow the
164. 6:41necessary
165. 6:43ports next enable and start the
166. 6:45cloudstack Management Service finally
167. 6:48let's take a quick look at the
168. 6:50cloudstack logs to ensure that the
169. 6:52service is starting and everything looks
170. 6:54good now we'll set up the hypervisor
171. 6:57cloudstack supports a wide range of Hy
172. 6:59supervisors but for this tutorial we'll
173. 7:01be using KVM connect to your KVM host
174. 7:05and then set the SE Linux to permissive
175. 7:07mode and ensure that the ntp client is
176. 7:10configured
177. 7:11properly also install the network
178. 7:13scripts package instead of the standard
179. 7:15network manager service for the scope of
180. 7:18this tutorial we're using the Linux
181. 7:20Bridge system instead of open V switch
182. 7:22with
183. 7:23KVM it is crucial to adjust from network
184. 7:26interface scripts make sure it is
185. 7:28properly connected to the bridges cloud
186. 7:30br0 and Cloud
187. 7:32br1 after these adjustments restart the
188. 7:35network
189. 7:36service install the Apple repository
190. 7:39package to get some of the dependencies
191. 7:41that are not natively
192. 7:42available then set up the cloudstack
193. 7:45repository by creating a new file as
194. 7:48follows next proceed to install the
195. 7:51cloudstack agent and the virtualization
196. 7:53package group along with any other
197. 7:55necessary dependencies this step ensures
198. 7:58that all essential components are
199. 7:59successfully installed with all packages
200. 8:02installed disable listen on TLS and
201. 8:05enable listen on TCP from the livert
202. 8:08Damon after that stop and mask the
203. 8:11services that are not needed and restart
204. 8:13the livert Damon also enable and start
205. 8:16the lib vert D and cloudstack agent
206. 8:19Services replicate these steps for each
207. 8:21KVM host you wish to include in your
208. 8:23Cloud stack
209. 8:26infrastructure now with all components
210. 8:28set up correctly
211. 8:30open a browser and input the management
212. 8:32server IP address followed by colon
213. 8:3588 client in the address bar once the
214. 8:39user interface loads use admin as the
215. 8:42username and password as the default
216. 8:44password to
217. 8:45login navigate to the infrastructure
218. 8:48section select zones and then click on
219. 8:51ADD Zone The Zone creation wizard will
220. 8:53appear choose core and click next select
221. 8:58the advanced Zone option and click next
222. 9:01enter the desired Zone name specify your
223. 9:04preferred external DNS server internal
224. 9:06DNS server and choose KVM as the
225. 9:09hypervisor then click next at this stage
226. 9:13the physical network interfaces will be
227. 9:15displayed create a second physical
228. 9:17network interface naming it to physic
229. 9:19Network 2 remove the public and guest
230. 9:22traffic types from physical Network 1
231. 9:25and add them to physical Network 2 in
232. 9:28physical Network 1 click edit for the
233. 9:30management traffic type and specify the
234. 9:32bridge name we previously set to Cloud
235. 9:35br0 then click
236. 9:37okay now in physical Network 2 click
237. 9:40edit for both guest and public traffic
238. 9:43types and specify the bridge name we
239. 9:45previously set to Cloud br1 then click
240. 9:48okay after configuring all the traffic
241. 9:51labels click next on this screen
242. 9:54configure the public traffic settings
243. 9:56enter the necessary details for your
244. 9:58public IP setup click add and then
245. 10:03next each pod contains a collection of
246. 10:05clusters which are the next level down
247. 10:07in the
248. 10:09hierarchy configure the Pod traffic
249. 10:12settings by entering the relevant
250. 10:13management IP information in the fields
251. 10:15provided then click
252. 10:18next for the guest traffic specify the
253. 10:21chosen VLAN ID range and click next
254. 10:24enter the cluster name and click
255. 10:27next now we'll add the first KVM host
256. 10:30provide the host details in the fields
257. 10:32and click next this step focuses on
258. 10:35setting up primary storage since we're
259. 10:37using the management server as NFS
