UEC, the basics...
Hello cloud users!
the last couple of months a follow closely and investigate the working of the Ubuntu Cloud.
I have my VM ESX certificates and like the way virtualization works. But cloud computering
'looks' even better (in our situation)..! We are almost ride of the licensed OS's and at
the moment I admin about 14 (virtual) ubuntu servers.
So the next step is to find out if the Ubuntu (private) Cloud is, what I hope it is
At the moment I ordered three new Dell Rack Servers with the specifactions I'll need to
setup a UEC. The Topologie I want to use is the one with at least 2 Physical Systems.
Server 1 - CLC/Walrus/CC/SC
Server 2 - NC
Server 3 - NC
But before the servers are even delivered, I have already a couple of questions...!
- First of all: The 'Cloud Controller' and 'Walrus' aren't they a single point of failure whithin UEC?
Does the cloud go straight offline when the CLC and/or Walrus crashes?
And if so, what does the cloud 'loses'?
Yes, I did read the following posts:

[http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-c...msg00260.html]
- Second: If I did my homework correct, I understand that the workstations (clients) always will
be connected on the public site of a cluster controller?
So the CC is also a router and maybe even a kind of firewall?
And if so, how does a workstation (client) finds his way to a MySQL Server (VM) in the cloud?
(because this MySQL Server can wakeup in cluster 2 if cluster 1 fails, isn't it?)
- Third: Are there (types of) services/tasks in a (small) business environment which are better
to NOT run in a cloud ?? (cups, databases, calander, postfix, etc....)
- The last, for now
When I start installing UEC on my servers. Server 3, 2, 1/eth1 on a
private LAN and Server 1/eth0 on the company's 'production' LAN with a DHCP. Is there something
I have to be very carful with ??
Thanks in advanced for everybody who will reply!
