SeaClouds Platform

![SeaClouds Project][SeaClouds-banner] [SeaClouds-banner]: http://www.seaclouds-project.eu/img/header_test.jpg "SeaClouds Project"

This is a proof of concept of the SeaClouds Platform (www.seaclouds-project.eu), integrating a first version of the Discoverer & Planner (considering the Matchmaker process), Deployer, Monitor and SLA Service components, into a Unified Dashboard.

This work is part of the ongoing European research project EC-FP7-ICT-610531 SeaClouds, and it's currently under development.

Building SeaClouds

Building SeaClouds shouldn't be a big deal, however it has the following prerequisites:

• Git
• Java 7 JDK.
• Maven 3.3.3 or greater.
• Node.js 0.12.x (with npm) or greater.

After you have been installed all the prerequisites, you can download the master branch of the repository from git with git clone [email protected]:SeaCloudsEU/SeaCloudsPlatform.git and build it with mvn clean install (if you want to skip the tests, please add -DskipTest flag).

Deploy SeaClouds

A deployment of SeaClouds can be launched using Apache Brooklyn. We currently support deployments against Bring Your Own Nodes (BYON) and to all the IaaS provider supported by Apache jclouds.

Setup your environment

Make sure you have Vagrant, Virtualbox

Deploying SeaClouds on BYON

• Configure your local environment:

cd $SEACLOUDS_HOME/byon
vagrant up

This spins up a virtual environment, made up of 2 VMs brooklyn and seaclouds1, that are accessible at 10.10.10.100 and 10.10.10.101, respectively. Note that deploying on BYON requires at least 4 GB of RAM available and a quad-core CPU with hardware virtualization support.

• Point your favourite browser at http://10.10.10.100:8081
• Select SeaClouds Platform on BYON application from Apache Brooklyn dropdown menu
• Click on Finish button.

Deploying SeaClouds on the cloud

• Configure your local environment:

cd $SEACLOUDS_HOME/byon
vagrant up brooklyn

This spins up an Apache Brooklyn server accessible at http://10.10.10.100:8081.

• Point your favourite browser at http://10.10.10.100:8081
• Select SeaClouds platform application from Apache Brooklyn dropdown menu
• Edit location specifying the cloud provider and the credentials to use it, in the YAML format.
• Click on Finish button

Troubleshooting

---

When deploying SeaClouds platform an Apache Brooklyn instance will be started on your workstation, accessible at http://localhost:8081 by default. Please double-check in nohup.out the correct url.

You may need to update the privateKeyFile property in the blueprint to the actual path. By default, it points to ./seaclouds_id_rsa.

Notice, if you are a Windows user, you may need to specify the absolute path to reach the seaclouds_id_rsa file on your filesystem.

How to release it!

In order to release a new version:

• mvn clean install If everything is ok:
• mvn -DdryRun=true release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=0.7.0-M19 -Dtag=0.7.0-M19 -DdevelopmentVersion=0.8.0-SNAPSHOT and wait for a message like Release preparation simulation complete.

Then:

• mvn release:clean

• mvn release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=0.7.0-M19 -Dtag=0.7.0-M19 -DdevelopmentVersion=0.8.0-SNAPSHOT

• mvn release:perform

• test the staging repository, and finally promote release it!
