I am aware of CloudStack management server running on VPS, but can a host be another VPS or multiple VPSes?
Instead of using physical baremetal servers, can we use big VPSes or cloud servers like AWS?
Forgive me if my question is silly. I have researched quit, i.e, searching on search engines and forums but could not find proper answer.
The host cannot be another VPS or cloud computing provider.
The host needs to be one of the supported cloudstack hypervisors which includes:
Vmware ESXi
HyperV
XenServer
KVM

We're setting up our own openstack cloud using OVH dedicated sever. We couldn't connect to our openstack instances using public ips. Because OVH allow traffic based on MAC-IP_Address binding match.
We've found this link useful but this is quite outdated.
=> https://dohuyhoang.github.io/openstack/ovh/neutron/2014/07/07/Configure-OpenStack-network-on-OVH.html
We use CentOS 7.7 and the openstack release is centos-release-openstack-stein-1-1.el7.centos.noarch
We have already configure xx.xx.xx.xx/29 public ip pool in neutron.However it doesn't connect from external world.
Anyone has experience in setting up vRack for OpenStack cloud environment ?
Thanks in advance.
If you're using vRack, you'll not need to used the MAC to IP Address static binding. However, you'll be limited in the traffic you can use to Internet (two years ago, the public IP traffic inside a vRack was limited to 300 or 500Mbps for the whole vrack.
To use vRack, you'll need compatible server (check OVH website for compatibility) and setup the secondary network Interface (vRack compatible servers come with at least two network card, one for the management traffic and one for the vRack traffic) and used it with neutron to host your IP pool.
You'll then need to move the IP Pool to your vRack in the OVH Control Panel.
Hi I dont want to use any clouldbase services for deployment. I have created react create app with backend (MERN STACK). I want to deploy it in my local server bitnami nginx server (ubuntu 14.04) . I dont find any thing about bitnami configuration. can anyone help.
You can install bitnami stack from their website https://bitnami.com/stack/nginx/installer
You can find Get-Started Docs on their site as well https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/get-started/
I want to deploy it in my local server
Hosting/Deploying Application from local server is really bad idea, Because usually your computer or your router is sitting behind the ISP's NAT and You don't have control over general ports (80, 443) which means your cant use those ports. it is generally the case with IPv4 addresses. ISP's do that to save their IPv4 addresses. this is not generally the case with IPv6.
Also (in most cases) your IP address is dynamic, which means it keeps changing overtime. If you are planning to use a domain for your application then you will also need and dynamic DNS service which usually aren't free.
On top of that Home broadband upstream speeds are very poor and low. Also you will have to keep your local server up 24/7.
You might wanna change your mind.
Hope this Helps!
I have a private network with static addresses on each machine.
Virtualbox is installed on each machine.
A virtual Windows 7 is running on each virtualbox.
Each host can see every other host on the network (independent of Virtualbox, of course).
By playing with the attachment settings for the virtual network adapter I can get the guest to see itself and the host, on the network.
I cannot get the guest on one host to see the guest on a separate host.
Firstly, is this possible?
I have tried the solution recommended here
http://coding4streetcred.com/blog/2012/06/default.aspx
but I may be missing something.
If the feature is not available on virtualbox, is it available via VMware's workstation?
I would obviously prefer to stick with a free solution.
Thanks
Got an answer to this on the virtualbox forum, The bridged adapter allows for this.

I'm new to Azure Networking and not very familiar with Networking in general, so pardon my naivety.
My requirement is to set up a Windows Domain, which I understand is the phrase used to describe a network whose principals (machines, users, services etc) are tracked via a centralized database (usually Active Directory).
I understand that this can be done on Azure, and I can add virtual machines provisioned on Azure to this network. However, I would also like my laptop (and possibly other machines my team and I own) to be a part of the same network.
Is this possible on Azure?
Would I require a device as mentioned here to set up something like this?
What I need this setup for is so that I can create an environment that allows us to replicate the environment our clients have (typical Corporate Windows Domains with Active Directory, Exchange Server etc). So even if the above is possible using Azure, but there are more effecient alternatives, I would love to know about them.
Thanks

What you really need is to create a virtual networking set in which you will add virtual machines on Windows Azure as well as physical machines from your on premise network.
To keep machines under one domain you can have domain controller (DC) running in Windows Azure Virtual Machines, or you can keep running DC on premise and connect with Azure Virtual Network.
Once you have DC established and you will have VPN based networking connection between your on premise machines and Azure VM. So when you bring your Laptop or any physical machine which is same Domain joined (DC in cloud/on-premise) then machine will be authenticated through the same DC which u have configured earlier. Keep in mind that any physical machine which is already domain joined will show up in same network as soon as your domain controller is configured with Azure Virtual Networking. That's all you need.
Here are step by step details for you to follow:
Creating and Settings up a Virtual Network in Windows Azure
Adding a Virtual Machine to Virtual Network at Windows Azure
Install a new Active Directory forest in Windows Azure
OR
Install a Replica Active Directory Domain Controller in Windows Azure Virtual Networks

We're currently looking to migrate an old and buggy eucalyptus cloud to openstack. We have ~15 machines that are all on the same office-internal network. The instances get their network configuration from an external (not eucalyptus) DHCP server. We run both linux and windows images. The cloud is used exclusively for platform testing from Jenkins.
Looking into openstack, it seems that out of the three supported networking modes, none really fit our environment. What we are looking for is something like an "unmanaged mode" where openstack launches an instance that is hooked up to eth0 interface on the instances' compute node and which will receive its network configuration from the external DHCP on boot. I.e. the VM's, guest hosts and clients (jenkins) are all on the same network, managed by an external DHCP server.
Is a scenario like this possible to set up in OpenStack?
It's not commonly used, but the Networking setup that will fit your needs the best is FlatNetworking (not FlatDHCPNetworking). There isn't stellar documentation on configuring that setup to work through your environment, and some pieces (like the nova-metadata service) may be a bit tricky to manage with it, but that should accomplish allowing you to run an OpenStack cloud with an external DHCP provider.
I wrote up the wiki page http://wiki.openstack.org/UnderstandingFlatNetworking some time ago to explain the setup of the various networks and how they operate with regards to NICs on hosting systems. FlatNetworking is effectively the same as FlatDHCPNetworking except that OpenStack doesn't try and run the DHCP service for you.
Note that with this mode, all the VM instances will be on the same network with your OpenStack infrastructure - there's no separation of networks at all.
