 Introduction  BoxGrinder Objective  BoxGirnder Structure  Plugins  OpenStack Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20152

 BoxGrinder: is a set of tools used for building appliances (virtual machines) on various platforms (KVM, Xen, VMware, EC2).  History: Marek Goldmann 2010 Ruby tool Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20153

Abdullah&Haitham  BoxGrinder is creating appliances (images/virtual machines) from simple plain text Appliance Definition Files.  Appliance definition files are written in YAML 10/16/20154

 Operating System plugins: generating base appliance.  Platform plugins: creating converted base appliance.  Delivery plugins: designed to deliver your new appliance. Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20155

 There are three phases to create boxgrinder: 1- Preparing environment. 2- Installation. 3- Building applainces Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20156

 The easiest way to obtain BoxGrinder Build is to simply add BoxGrinder repo to your environment and use yum. “ yum install rubygem-boxgrinder-build”  Other systems: “gem install boxgrinder-build “ Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20157

 Create appliances directory  mkdir appliances command  Example:  boxgrinder-build f14-basic.appl Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20158

 Operating system plugins:  Fedora Operating System Plugin Configuration: plugins: fedora: format: qcow2 # Disk format to use. Default: raw.  Fedora-14.appl file name: fedora-14 os: name: fedora version: 14  Fedora Operating System Plugin Usage: boxgrinder-build fedora-14.appl Abdullah&Haitham10/16/20159

 Platform plugins: Platform plugins convert intermediary deliverables produced by the operating system plugin into a selected platform Supported OS:  Fedora – all versions  RHEL – all versions  CentOS – all versions  EC2 Platform Plugin: Configuration: it’s not required  Ec2 Platform Plugin Usage: boxgrinder-build applince-name.appl –p ec2 Abdullah&Haitham10/16/201510

 Delivery plugins S3 Delivery Plugin: Three types: S3, cloudfront, ami S3 Delivery Plugin Configuration:  Bucket: Boxgrinder  Account _number:  Cert_file: same certificate created to log in to Midterm  Key_file: PK created in Homework #4 for aws.amazon.com Abdullah&Haitham10/16/201511

 EC2 AMI for applaince-name.appl: “boxgrinder-build applaince-name.appl -p ec2 -d ami ”  EBS Delivery Plugin EBS Delivery Plugin Configuration  EBS-based AMI for applaince-name.appl: “boxgrinder-build applaince-name.appl -p ec2 -d ebs” Abdullah&Haitham10/16/201512

What is OpenStack? OpenStack is a collection of open source technologies delivering a massively scalable cloud operating system. Backed by Rackspace, NASA, Dell, Citrix, Cisco, Canonical and over 50 other organizations, History: July 2010! Why OpenStack: Control and Flexibility Industry Standard Proven Software Compatible and Connected Projects: 1.OpenStack Compute 2.OpenStack Object Storage 3.OpenStack Image Service 10/16/2015Abdullah&Haitham13

 OpenStack Compute: Popular Use Cases: Service providers, IT departments, and Processing big data General Key Features Service providers and Enterprises 10/16/2015Abdullah&Haitham14

OpenStack Image Service:  OpenStack Image Service allows uploads of private and public images in a variety of formats, including: Raw Machine (kernel/ramdisk outside of image, a.k.a. AMI) VHD (Hyper-V), VDI (VirtualBox) qcow2 (Qemu/KVM) VMDK (VMWare), OVF (VMWare, others)  Popular Use Cases: Enterprises, ISVs  Key Features 10/16/2015Abdullah&Haitham16
