| axisys | hi all.. i have a laptop with intel core2 duo 2.4ghz, 8gb ram and 750gb hard drive.. I want to use it for my private cloud.. but first i want to install the desktop (since it is my laptop). then should I use vbox or kvm for the cloud? any other recommendation may be ? | 19:15 |
|---|---|---|
| niemeyer | axisys: Are you looking mostly at running virtual machines, or do you need an API to program with? | 19:52 |
| axisys | niemeyer: mostly virtual machines.. i want to have multiple cloud nodes and a way to manage them | 20:44 |
| axisys | i was looking at hadoop.. but wanted to find out if ubuntu has a default method to manage them | 20:45 |
| axisys | all should be contained w/ in my laptop | 20:45 |
| niemeyer | axisys: Plain kvm is easy to use.. libvirt will also be helpful if you want some additional management capabilities but stay lightweight | 20:46 |
| niemeyer | axisys: Hadoop is unrelated to this | 20:46 |
| niemeyer | axisys: Virtualbox may be helpful if you want a more graphical experience when managing your vms | 20:46 |
| axisys | niemeyer: for the vms i dont need graphics.. but i need to be able to do it all from my laptop/desktop | 20:47 |
| niemeyer | axisys: Look for information on libvirt and virtsh.. may provide you an interesting path to dig in | 20:49 |
| niemeyer | axisys: There are also graphical tools to interact with libvirt-managed machines, if the basic model work for you | 20:50 |
| niemeyer | works | 20:50 |
| axisys | niemeyer: thanks | 20:56 |
| niemeyer | axisys: No problem | 20:57 |
| axisys | niemeyer: is there a ubuntu page where I can start reading about it? | 20:57 |
| niemeyer | axisys: Google tells me so: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Virsh | 20:58 |
| axisys | niemeyer: thanks | 20:58 |
| niemeyer | axisys: Regarding standard tools to help you managing a full deployment, nothing that works out of the box, but there's on going work in a project that will enable you to do this. | 20:59 |
