Setting up an OpenNebula Cloud

New Nebula

Final Word

Cloud middleware has come a long way. You can create a simple, but scalable, cloud with a few easy installation and configuration steps. If you are interested in using your private cloud to scale out to Amazon EC2, look for the tutorial online [6]. You'll find a comprehensive set of documents on various aspects of OpenNebula at the project website [7].

  • Build Your Own Cloud

    Cloud computing provides a variety of benefits including flexibility and control. However, in the case of infrastructure as a service, practically all public cloud service providers offer only a relatively small number of pre-configured virtual machine images. This is somewhat analogous to offering shoes without half-sizes or widths, and then – when the fit isn’t quite right – asking the customer to try on a brand or style that is sized a bit differently. The customer may end up with the right size, or the right brand, or the right style – but not all three. In the case of IaaS, this means settling for a server which does not fit the needs of an application in terms of CPU, memory or storage.

    SoftLayer has recently updated its renowned CloudLayer service with a Build Your Own Cloud capability. This new approach allows customers to configure the amount of CPU, memory and storage used by their cloud servers. With this enhanced capability, SoftLayer customers avoid the tradeoffs forced by other IaaS offerings. These tradeoffs typically include over provisioning, which leads to inefficient resource utilization and higher cost, or under provisioning, which leads to lower levels of performance and scalability. Rather than constraining the dimensions of your server, CloudLayer lets you customize your server to meet the specific needs of your application. After all, who knows your application best – you or your IaaS provider? Neovise believes that any organization wishing to run production applications in a public cloud needs to strongly consider SoftLayer.
