03. Launching, Resizing, Configuring, and Managing Instances

Chapter 3

This use case provides you with a basic overview of launching, resizing, and managing an Apache CloudStack instance.
Apache CloudStack has a UI that allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal fricton. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Apache CloudStack proven computing environment. Apache CloudStack reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change.

Topics Covered:

After you have finished this practical exercise, you will then take the following Proof-of-Concept tests:

Registering a new template
Creating an isolated network
Modifying egress firewall rules
Launching an instance
Using Userdata
Managing Firewall
Scaling up/down Instance
Instance console access
Terminate instance
Recover instance
Expurge instance
