1 # Distributed Cloud Emulator
5 * Manuel Peuster <manuel.peuster@upb.de>
9 * needs the latest [Dockernet](https://github.com/mpeuster/dockernet) to be installed on the system
10 * the emulator is implemented against Dockernet's APIs
11 * The emulator uses ZeroMQ based RPC to for communication between demo CLI client and cloud-like APIs
12 * `pip install 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 Ansible playbooks.
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`
32 * `git clone https://github.com/mpeuster/dockernet.git`
33 * `cd ~/dockernet/ansible`
34 * `sudo ansible-playbook install.yml`
35 * Wait (and have a coffee) ...
38 * Fork the repository.
40 * `git clone https://github.com/<user>/son-emu.git`
41 * `cd ~/son-emu/ansible`
42 * `sudo ansible-playbook install.yml`
47 * `cd ~/son-emu/emuvim`
48 * `sudo python example_topology.py`
50 * `cd ~/son-emu/emuvim/cli`
51 * `./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf1`
52 * `./son-emu-cli compute start -d dc1 -n vnf2`
53 * `./son-emu-cli compute list`
55 * `dockernet> vnf1 ping -c 2 vnf2`
58 * `cd ~/son-emu/emuvim`
59 * `sudo python test` or `sudo python test -v` for more outputs
64 * Advanced network model
65 * improve network management, multiple interfaces per container
66 * API to create multiple networks (per DC?)
68 * simple API to chain running VNFs
69 * Add resource constraints to datacenters
70 * Check if we can use the Mininet GUI to visualize our DCs?
71 * (Unit tests for zerorpc API endpoint, and any other new endpoint)
75 * Define a topology (Python script)
77 * Add switches and links between the,
78 * Define API endpoints in topology
79 * call startAPI from topology definition and start it in a own thread
80 * make it possible to start different API endpoints for different DCs
82 * correctly start and connect new compute resources at runtime
83 * remove and disconnect compute resources at runtime
84 * do IP management for new containers
85 * list active compute resources
86 * Cloud-like reference API with CLI for demonstrations
88 * Start compute (name, DC, image, network)
90 * Create an Ansible-based automatic installation routine
