Un de mes projets de fin 2009 qui vient d'etre publie. Version complete technique ou version courte.

Une collaboration entre le labo Cloud d'Intel et Ubuntu (Canonical).

Abstract

For Cloud Service Providers, Hosters and Enterprise IT who are looking to build their own cloud infrastructure, the decision to use a cloud for the delivery of IT services is best done by starting with the knowledge and experience gained from previous work. The reference architecture on which this summary is based gathers into one place a complete example of running a Canonical* Ubuntu* Enterprise Cloud on Intel®-based servers and is complete with detailed scripts and screen shots. Using the contents of the paper should significantly reduce the learning curve for building and operating your first cloud computing instance.

Since the creation and operation of a cloud requires integration and customization to existing IT infrastructure and business requirements, it is not expected that the referenced paper can be used as-is. For example, adapting to existing network and identity management requirements are out of scope for the reference architecture. Therefore, it is expected that the user of the paper will make significant adjustments to the design to meet specific customer requirements.

The paper is assumed to be a starting point for that journey.
