Hi,<br>
<br>I made a study about the different infrastructure(IaaS) that would
enable me to build hybrid cloud.I ended up with OpenNebula.However I'm
having couple of questions :<br><br>Q1) Could I find any tutorial that
explain the steps to begin build an hybrid cloud knowing that I didn't
build any private cloud yet?<br><br>
Q2) I read in this tutorial
<a href="http://opennebula.org/_media/software:ecosystem:hybrid_cloud_computing_with_opennebula_1.4.pdf">http://opennebula.org/_media/software:ecosystem:hybrid_cloud_computing_with_opennebula_1.4.pdf</a>
that OpenNebula 1.4 enables the configuration of multiple EC2 site is
that information taken for granted with the lastest stable version of
OpenNebula too?<br><br>
Q3)I would like to know what is the technical requirements or at least
the minimal requirements to install an Hybrid cloud with OpenNebula ?
Will I need a VMWare virtual machine running Ubuntu 9.10 all runing on
windows 7 laptop and that is it or it will need more than that please
be specific?<br><br>
<div style="text-align: left;">Q4)My final goal , in my research
internship is to conceive a middleware that would verify fiability and
provenance of data requested from public cloud back to the private cloud
by using some function you defined to get information about or by
impleminting tese function.I wonder if you have any ready made
infrastructure or virtual machine that already built an hybrid cloud so
that I can emulate it?<br>
</div>
<br>Q5)In case I wanted to integrate my middleware how could this be
possible? Since the middleware will have to verify fiability and
provenance of data requested
from public cloud back to the private cloud it will need to get some
ifnormation about the source that generated this data if possible by
using some function OpenNebula
defined to get information about or by the possibility impleminting
these function .For the case of EC2 for example , I would need some
kind of these functions :<br>
<ul><li>get_ec2_cert(): Retrieve the location on the filesystem where the user's EC2 certificate is stored.</li><li>get_ec2_pk(): Retrieve the location on the filesystem where the user's EC2 private key is stored.</li>
<li>get_ec2_url(): Retrieve the URL that should be used for sending
EC2 API requests to. but would appreciate to know more in depth on how
to be able to "interface" data provenance middleware</li></ul>
In case these is no such functions do I have the possibility to implement them? if yes how this could be possible?<br>
<br>
Q6) Is there any management GUI or interface that can manage the IaaS? <br>
<br>
I hope I made my self the clearest possible with the least knowledge I
have so far .I would really appreciate if you could answer my questions.<br>
Thank you.<br>
Best Regards,<br>
