EuTester

Week 5 we broke into groups to work on different projects and my group worked on setting up and applying EuTester. The EuTester code is written in Python so before I could really get started I had get more familiar with the Python language. I went through some Python tutorials and one that really helped me a lot was this one: http://www.sthurlow.com/python/ . Once we all got comfortable with Python we tired to get Eucalyptus running and then get the EuTester code running.

Week of March 19th 2012

We had spring break this week at WSU so I tried to squeeze in some Eucalyptus time. This week the Eucalyptus web interface was made available and we were able to sign up for an account on our cloud. This was some pretty exciting progress. I’ve also been, once again, continuing to research and document for the “Architecture Overview” portion of the Eucalyptus documentation.

Week of March 12th 2012

This week I’ve been continuing to research and document for the “Architecture Overview” portion of the Eucalyptus documentation project. I also have been browsing and reading posts on http://planet.eucalyptus.com/. I found some great and interesting information on the site about Eucalyptus. I have also been trying out some of the commands that are documented in the Euca2ools documentation on the WiKi. Just another week of familiarizing myself further with Eucalyptus has been helpful.

Solution to Hardware && Update

Last week, Brian Labbe and I looked at the best computers we could get for the amount we had (~$1000).

This seemed to be the best deal:

Then, IT said they had a handful of machines.  We scrapped the new hardware idea and waited for delivery.  Unfortunately, Spring break was coming up, and few people were willing to come in over Spring break to set the new machines up.  Dave, Mike, and I stepped up to the plate and came in on Monday and set up the machines to avoid an entire week of delay.  Within a few hours, all of the machines were swapped and ready to go.  We also had lunch at Bushel N’ Peck down the street.  Great food, great price, great service.  I highly recommend trying it!

Meanwhile, I just got back from the conference in DC at the NSF.  I had a lot of fun, it was great to meet everyone and get out-of-town during Spring Break.  It was also an all expense paid trip – so who wouldn’t be excited! It’s back to work at EMC in the morning.

Work During Spring Break

Prior to spring break I had been attempting to install EuTester and test its functionality with no success. I know I will not  get to spend much time this week working on it because I will be very busy with family in town, so I decided to update my blog now. After reading a few blog posts and looking at some documentation I have come to realize that EuTester has quite a few requirements that have to be met before use.

In order for EuTester to work you must first have boto and paramiko (can be installed through sudo apt-get). Having these utilities provides the necessary tools for quickly implementing an automated test strategy according to the Eutester Basics Part I blog.

Currently I have installed paramiko but have not configured boto to this point, I will update after I have finished with the install of both utilities and can start with the EuTester build.

Git

Week 4 was we mainly learned about Git, what it does and what it’s used for. Git
is basically a distributed version control system that already seems like it will be very useful tool for the remainder of this class. I haven’t used Git version control much before this class but it was easy to pick up after working with it for awhile. The more I use it though, the more easier its becoming to remember the commands which obviously makes working with it quicker and smoother.
