So, AWS and Heat both support CFN formatted templates, so the implementation can potentially be shared between those two, but if you need GCP or Azure, then that won't work.<br>
<br>
Some of the docker orchestration systems are starting to grow cross cloud options such as Kubernetes with Ubernetes. That abstraction might be a good target for a Hybrid cloud crossing multiple cloud providers different api's. I haven't used Ubernetes though
so I'm not sure how well it works in practice yet. Just something to look at.<br>
<br>
Terraform might be another good cross cloud orchestration tool. I haven't used this one either, but some of my co-workers have to good affect.<br>

more VMs) - it was just easiest to do this component first as it has a nice way of providing feedback that it is up and running (http responses). I would like to make this cross-cloud indeed - AWS, GCP and some public Openstack provider (Dreamhost just came
out with a nice offering). The big advantage of the Python script is that I can easily make it cross-cloud - and Python is great to work with.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

- I am pretty sure that I can make my script reliably and reproducibly launch at least 4 VMs that provide me with the processing and monitoring platform that I need. What I do like about the orchestration and ceilometer components together is that they should
allow for elasiticity to be built in. I had one thing with Heat before though (and again in the Juno release), I think in a devstack deployment, where I terminated a server (VM) from Horizon that had been created as part of a stack - and then I could no longer
remove the stack. I did not try this again so far as I do not want to mess up my deployment.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'd recommend looking into OpenStack Heat very closely though for doing most of the heavy lifting. Doing the deployment Declaratively makes for significantly less code then trying to do it Imperatively and makes it much more fault tolerant.<br>
<br>
You can do something like:<br>
parameters:<br>
Name: Server1<br>
Flavor: m1.large<br>
ExtraUserData: "yum install -y httpd; systemctl start httpd; systemctl enable httpd"<br>
PrimarySecurityGroup: web<br>
PrimaryNetworkId: cd5f6918-2870-48f4-85d1-722e70350ed4<br>
<br>
heat stack-create -e <the file above> -u <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EMSL-MSC/heat-templates/master/cfn/lib/SimpleServer.yaml" target="_blank">
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EMSL-MSC/heat-templates/master/cfn/lib/SimpleServer.yaml</a> MyStack<br>
<br>
Done. :)<br>
<br>
I'm continuing development on the lib templates to make them even more generic/configurable to make it even easier to launch complicated setups without much code. See some of the parent directories for more examples.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
Over the past 2 months with so little time I can dedicate to this effort I<br>
have been crawling towards my first Opensatck application. Today I have<br>
reached my first milestone. So what is this about?<br>
<br>
The Openstack deployment is:<br>
- Mirantis 6.0/Openstack Juno (so old) on a single hardware box in a bunch<br>
of Virtualbox VMs (6 of them) - the Openstack VMs have no internet access<br>
- Nova networking (could not get Neutron configured so I could use it)<br>
- Swift object storage<br>
<br>
My first milestone is a Python script that will upload a software archive to<br>
the Object storage, then launch a VM on Openstack that upon boot<br>
(cloud-init) will download that archive and start a webserver from it that<br>
is externally accessible. So prerequisites are an uploaded cloud-image for<br>
the VM and a security group (with SSH key and port rules). The webserver<br>
just returns 'exception' when contacted as it is supposed to monitor another<br>
part of y application that I have not yet up and running (next milestone).<br>
Point is though - it is auto-launched at VM creation time (running as a<br>
non-root user) and it is externally accessible, returning something.<br>
<br>
I used the nova-python sdk and swift-python sdk for this, tried first with<br>
the integrated OpenstackPythonSDK, but my deployment is likely too old and<br>
it has no Neutron, so that did not work out. I also had to as a question on<br>
Ask Openstack to get up to speed with the python SDK documentation. The<br>
answer I got to my question there provided snippets that did not run, but<br>
they kickstarted my understanding of the SDK, so they were more than welcome<br>
and extremely useful in that respect.<br>
<br>
Next milestone: get the other parts of the app deployed and running (at<br>
least 3 more VMs) and get all VMs communicating with each other.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Bart<br>
