Description: Readily available CloudStack with DataCenter. With the help of Vagrant boxes, a thin ubuntu vm is provisioned and installed with , installs required software, brings up CloudStack and deploys a datacenter readily and automatically.

Advantages:

  1. Simple, on the fly, easy for cloudstack demos, useful for new users, for developers to validate their changes, locally using simulator. 

  2. Need not worry anything about downloading, installing Cloudstack, or its dependent softwares and installations etc, we can now have CloudStack up and running with a single commandfew simple commands. 

  3. As well, it will now provide a ready made data center available inside CloudStack, thus need not worry about understanding of creating zones,pods, ..hosts,... storages, etc.

     

Usage:

  1. Install Vagrant ( EX: apt-get install vagrant, preferrably its latest version http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html )

  2. Retrieve the code from below link

    https://github.com/bvbharatk/VagrantSimulator

  3. cd to directory "VagrantSimulator"

  4. Run commands, “vagrant init", "vagrant up”

Now, we can login to CS  and see CloudStack with ready made data center available.

PS: Once you run vagrant up, it will download good amount of content including a ubuntu box, cs and its dependencies etc. This may take some time. Idea is to parallelize this procedure in next cut.
