Cloud Computing with UEC..?

[ShinHadoken]

Alright, I'm interested in the idea of a private cloud that UEC can supposedly create. How do I do this, I mean, how does it work practically? I make the "cloud controller" whatever, and then a node. What's a node, and what is its function? Is my goal to run virtual machines on one (or more) computers, and then log into them remotely? How does this occur? Once I have an image running, how would a client access it? These are some very big practical application holes that I have not been able to answer after searching through days of online stuff. Can someone help me understand this? I would very much appreciate it.

I make the "cloud controller" whatever, and then a node.

A cloud computing system is usually a cluster of computers, one is the controller and the rest of the computers are the nodes, in the case of cloud computing the nodes are more for redundancy then for distributed processing.

A cloud computing system is usually accessible form the internet, so you will have to setup some sort of secure web server.

For starters, have a look at the Server Guide on how to set up a server, and also covers Virtualization.

So let's see here. I'm going to have at least two computers--one cloud controller, and at least one node. The only purpose for the nodes is redundant disk storage(?). After this is set up, I install an image, Ubuntu for example, on the cloud controller. People can then log into the website and run programs through this Ubuntu image in their... browser?

Or do they use virt-viewer?

Bump please

I just don't understand exactly how UEC is supposed to work. I understand it conceptually, but I don't see how to implement it.

[ShinHadoken]

The only documentation I can find only shows me how to install cloud controllers/nodes, not how to use them. Can anyone help me out?

Any update on this?

right, i'mthinking thesamething..i dont'want idle storage...=c
backup and v Iraid is awesome... if this is possible..
but i'm gonna want to know, what machine is idle/working and on what task,how much of what resource, and are they shareing and completeing this flawlessly..if there is something that needs tweaking i wanna be able to do it

If friends could log in? to my cloud and also share resources that be nice.. if it doesnt lag etc..


i'm d/ling 8.04 lts server nowfor some old p3's and a socket370..

i wantto makethesedo some combined+cloud computeing
