Cloud Computing Made Easy^®

From Kaavo - Wiki

To securely manage your applications on your own cloud infrastructure provided by Eucalyptus using IMOD, you need to perform the following 3 tasks:

• Register Your Cloud
• Setup Your Eucalyptus Account
• Create SSH Keys

Note these instructions are for configuring the IMOD solution delivered as SaaS, if you want to deploy an instance of IMOD within your own private data-center please contact us. Private deployment of IMOD is available only to very large customers. For small to mid size private cloud or hybrid cloud management best option is to use the SaaS version of IMOD hosted at https://imod.kaavo.com.

Register Eucalyptus Private Cloud

After logging in IMOD you need to go to the Kaavo's IMOD's account profile page, click on ‘Register Your Private Provider’ and fill the required information.

• Give a unique name to your Cloud
• Provide the IP/DNS of your host running the Eucalyptus Cloud Controller. For testing you can also use the public instance of the eucalyptus cloud (mayhem9.cs.ucsb.edu) running at University of Santa Barbara, it is down quite often so it is best to setup your own private cloud and configure it in IMOD for management.
• Provide the Port (default value is 8773) of the Web Services running on your Cloud Controller.
• Finally provide the TimeZone (for mayhem9.cs.ucsb.edu, the TimeZone is GMT) of your Cloud Server.

Once you click on ‘Create’ button your Cloud will be registered with IMOD and a hyperlink, with the name of your Cloud, will be added to the Providers tab.

Setup Your Eucalyptus Account

After logging in IMOD you need to go to the Kaavo's IMOD's account profile page, click on the hyperlink created for your Cloud and fill the required information.

• Give a unique name to your Eucalyptus Account

• Provide the Query ID & Secret Key of your account. To obtain those values login to your cloud and Click on ‘Show Keys’ button
• Finally click on Create

Create SSH Keys

• Creation of SSH keys is similar to AWS Account’s SSH Key
