Automate setup and delivery for virtual machines in the cloud
|
||
======
|
||
Get a cloud image ready in minutes by using Testcloud to automate the
|
||
setup process and deliver a VM ready to run.
|
||
![Looking at a map][1]
|
||
|
||
If you're a developer or hobbyist using a Fedora [qcow2 image][2] for the cloud, you always have to do a bunch of initial configuration before an image is ready to use. I know this all too well, and I was eager to find a way to make the setup process simpler. As it happens, the entire Fedora quality assurance team feels the same way, so we developed [Testcloud][3].
|
||
|
||
Testcloud is a tool that makes it easy to get a cloud image ready for testing in minutes. It automates the setup process and delivers a virtual machine (VM) ready to run on the cloud with just a few commands.
|
||
|
||
Testcloud:
|
||
|
||
1. Downloads the qcow2 image
|
||
2. Creates the instance with the name of your choice
|
||
3. Creates a user named `fedora` with the password of `passw0rd`
|
||
4. Assigns an IP, which you can later use to secure shell (SSH) into the cloud
|
||
5. Starts, stops, removes, and lists an instance
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Install Testcloud
|
||
|
||
To start your journey, you first must install the Testcloud package. You can install it from a terminal or through the software application. In both cases, the package name is `testcloud`. Install with:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
`$ sudo dnf install testcloud -y`
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Once the installation is complete, add your desired user to the `testcloud` group, which helps Testcloud automate the rest of the process. Execute these two commands to add your user to the `testcloud` group and restart the session with the updated group privileges:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo usermod -a -G testcloud $USER
|
||
$ su - $USER
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

### Spin cloud images like a pro
|
||
|
||
Once your user has the required group permissions, create an instance:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
`$ testcloud instance create <instance name> -u <url for qcow2 image>`
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can use `fedora:latest/fedora:XX` (where `XX` is your Fedora release) instead of the full URL:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
`$ testcloud instance create <instance name> -u fedora:latest`
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This returns the IP address of your VM:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ testcloud instance create testcloud272593 -u <https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/33/Cloud/x86\_64/images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-33-1.2.x86\_64.qcow2>
|
||
[...]
|
||
INFO:Successfully booted instance testcloud272593
|
||
The IP of vm testcloud272593: 192.168.122.202
|
||
\------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
To connect to the VM, use the following command (password is 'passw0rd'):
|
||
ssh fedora@192.168.122.202
|
||
\------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can log in as the default user `fedora` with the password `passw0rd` (note the zero). You can get to the VM with `ssh`, `virt-manager`, or any other method that supports connecting to libvirt machines.
|
||
|
||
Another simple way to create a Fedora cloud is:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ testcloud instance create testcloud193 -u fedora:33
|
||
|
||
WARNING:Not proceeding with backingstore cleanup because there are some testcloud instances running.
|
||
You can fix this by following command(s):
|
||
testcloud instance stop testcloud272593
|
||
|
||
DEBUG:Local downloads will be stored in /var/lib/testcloud/backingstores.
|
||

||

|
||
INFO:Seed image generated successfully
|
||
INFO:Successfully booted instance testcloud193
|
||
The IP of vm testcloud193: 192.168.122.225
|
||
\------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
To connect to the VM, use the following command (password is 'passw0rd'):
|
||
ssh fedora@192.168.122.225
|
||
\------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Play with instances
|
||
|
||
Testcloud can be used to administer instances. This includes activities such as listing images or stopping and starting an instance.
|
||
|
||
To list instances, use the `list` subcommand:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ testcloud instance list
|
||
Name IP State
|
||
\------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
testcloud272593 192.168.122.202 running
|
||
testcloud193 192.168.122.225 running
|
||
testcloud252793 192.168.122.146 shutoff
|
||
testcloud93 192.168.122.152 shutoff
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To stop a running instance:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ testcloud instance stop testcloud193
|
||
DEBUG:stop instance: testcloud193
|
||
DEBUG:stopping instance testcloud193.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To remove an instance:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ testcloud instance destroy testcloud193
|
||
DEBUG:remove instance: testcloud193
|
||
DEBUG:removing instance testcloud193 from libvirt.
|
||
DEBUG:Unregistering instance from libvirt.
|
||
DEBUG:removing instance /var/lib/testcloud/instances/testcloud193 from disk
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To reboot a running instance:
|
||
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ testcloud instance reboot testcloud93
|
||
DEBUG:stop instance: testcloud93
|
||
[...]
|
||
INFO:Successfully booted instance testcloud93
|
||
The IP of vm testcloud93: 192.168.122.152
|
||
usage: testcloud [-h] {instance,image} ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Give Testcloud a try and let me know what you think in the comments.
