1 # Distributed Cloud Emulator
5 * Manuel Peuster <manuel.peuster@upb.de>
9 * needs the latest Dockernet to be installed in the system
10 * the wrapper uses standard Python imports to use the Dockernet modules
11 * Uses ZeroMQ based RPC to open a cloud-like interface that can be used by a demo CLI client
12 * pip install import zerorpc
13 * This will be replaced / extended by a REST API later
16 * **emuvim/** all emulator code
17 * **api/** Data center API endpoint implementations (zerorpc, OpenStack REST, ...)
18 * **cli/** CLI client to interact with a running emulator
19 * **dcemulator/** Dockernet wrapper that introduces the notion of data centers and API endpoints
20 * **test/** Unit tests
21 * **example_topology.py** An example topology script to show how topologies can be specified
24 Automatic installation is provide through an Ansible playbook.
25 * Requires: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
26 * `sudo apt-get install ansible git`
27 * `sudo vim /etc/ansible/hosts`
28 * Add: `localhost ansible_connection=local`
31 * `git clone https://github.com/mpeuster/dockernet.git`
32 * `cd dockernet/ansible`
33 * `sudo ansible-playbook install.yml`
34 * Wait (and have a coffee) ...
37 * Fork the repository.
39 * `git clone https://github.com/<user>/son-emu.git`
40 * `cd son-emu/ansible`
41 * `sudo ansible-playbook install.yml`
47 * `sudo python example_topology.py`
49 * `cd emulator-strawman/emuvim/cli`
50 * `./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf1`
51 * `./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf2`
52 * `./son-emu-cli compute list`
54 * `dockernet> vnf1 ping -c 2 vnf2`
59 * Advanced network model
60 * improve network management, multiple interfaces per container
61 * API to create multiple networks (per DC?)
64 * Add resource constraints to datacenters
65 * Check if we can use the Mininet GUI to visualize our DCs?
66 * (Unit tests for zerorpc API endpoint)
70 * Define a topology (Python script)
72 * Add switches and links between the,
73 * Define API endpoints in topology
74 * call startAPI from topology definition and start it in a own thread
75 * make it possible to start different API endpoints for different DCs
77 * correctly start and connect new compute resources at runtime
78 * remove and disconnect compute resources at runtime
79 * do IP management for new containers
80 * list active compute resources
81 * Cloud-like reference API with CLI for demonstrations
83 * Start compute (name, DC, image, network)
85 * Create an Ansible-based automatic installation routine
