Rackspace OpenStack Nova Boot Image : Easy Guide

Advertisement

Many Fumble with Getting Started With Rackspace OpenStack Nova Boot Image Part. You can bootstrap anything with this basic guide. Basic user means, you at least know how to create an instance of Cloud Server, do SSH, run basic UNIX commands. If you even do not know them, first search our website for guides on Installing WordPress or LAMP Stack on Rackspace Cloud Server. There are video guides as well. They will help you to perform the basic steps. Kindly spin up a new server, do not perform these experiments on a production server.

 

Rackspace OpenStack Nova Boot Image : Get Started

 

You will need two servers at minimum. After logging to you Rackspace Cloud account, go to the Control Panel, spin up a Cloud Server running the Linux distribution, suppose Ubuntu 13.10 and install the nova client on it :

 

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
# run commands one by one
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
# alternate way
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install rackspace-novaclient

 

Edit the Bash profile :

Vim
1
nano ~/.bash_profile

Configuration should go like this, we adapted from the article written by Racker Jered Heeschen, that was for other purpose :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
# edit username
OS_USERNAME=username
OS_TENANT_NAME=your-rackspace-account-number
OS_AUTH_SYSTEM=rackspace
# edit apikey
OS_PASSWORD=apikey
OS_AUTH_URL=https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/
# adjust region
OS_REGION_NAME=DFW
OS_NO_CACHE=1
export OS_USERNAME OS_TENANT_NAME OS_AUTH_SYSTEM OS_PASSWORD OS_AUTH_URL OS_REGION_NAME OS_NO_CACHE OS_NO_CACHE
# clean all the hash and comments

CHMOD it to make it readable :

Vim
1
chmod 600 ~/.bash_profile

Now, spin up another new Cloud Server, running REHL like rpm based distro like CentOS, Ubuntu will work fine too among deb, but the choice matters on your target – what you’ll bootstrap. We need to inject the SSH RSA public key into the list of authorized keys for the root user. Python nova client related doc can be found here :

Vim
1
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-novaclient/

We are configuring OpenStack Networking :

Vim
1
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/configuring-openstack-networking

Every server has ID, so we can call in this way :

Vim
1
2
nova boot --image alpha-numeric-id --flavor 2 --file "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys=.ssh/id_rsa.pub" server-name
# change `alpha-numeric-id` ;  `flavor 2` ; `server-name`

What you will bootstrap we do not know, but this is the standard official method for bootstrapping Nova Boot Image, which is usually the first step for working with OpenStack Nova Boot Image.
