Been trying to install ceph to see if I could eventually give a talk on it, since it's a new distributed file system that is true F/OSS. So I came across a "Vagrant" download ( FYI: there vagrant package is messed up so don't try it just yet )
So fooling around with Vagrant was actually more interesting: http://www.vagrantup.com/ http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html So once Vagrant is installed and linked to your VM ( I'm using VirtualBox in this case ) you can install a VM from the internet and attach as easily as running two commands: # vagrant init precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box # vagrant up # vagrant ssh At which point I was sshed into a Ubuntu VM ( which is also headless ) So the same way one can share code with github, vagrant can be used for systems. You can then within minutes get a multi-node web project up and running to work on or even a OpenStack cluster So when did I miss the train on this project? I assume that all of you are now laughing at me for not knowing about this. Thanks a lot for keeping this from me and all the snickering! So much for sharing -- /** ** Joseph Apuzzo **/
