Re: Install Cloudstack with Chef

Ha Ha Dave,

Being British, a cup of tea is an institution and some things are simply best done by hand.

VM template, this is the main cause of the 15min timeline.

Actual keyboard time is circa 5 Secs to simply execute the installation
process, then put the kettle on, and 15mins later you have a working cloud.

Terrific Pierre-Luc, thanks a lot.
For those not in Amsterdam last week , pierre-luc used those
cookbooks to install cloudstack in 15 minutes chrono :) live!!!!!

15 minutes seems like a long time for something automated, I'm pretty sure
I can install it under 15 minutes following the runbook[1].


including downloading the systemVMs ? etc....

I should had that this was actually installing cloudstack in a cloud. From
a laptop in Amsterdam to a cloud in Montreal.

But let's improve those recipes and cut the time down to 2 minutes, game
on !!!

Re: Install Cloudstack with Chef

Posted by Pierre-Luc Dion <pd...@cloudops.com>.
Isn't interesting to go get a coffee while the automated stuff do the work?
this way, what's the matter on having to wait 15 mins to get Cloudstack up
and ready ?

Or tea for those British :-P

haha,


The main idea is not to get cloudstack installed in mater of second, for
this snapshot are best suited. But is to have a single installation method
valid for multiple versions of cloudstack and for prod, dev and test
environments. I wouldn't say those cookbooks are their yet, but close...

I guest it is the same objective with Ansible scripts as well.
