This is a harness for running the Eucalyptus cookbook against a distributed system of nodes without a dependency on a Chef Server. We are using fabric and chef-zero to emulate the functionality of a chef-server.
yum install -y python-devel gcc git python-setuptools

python setup.py installThe cloud lifecycle is broken down into many phases:
The configuration is written in YAML and uses the Chef environment structure. Examples can be found in the examples directory. For a full list of attributes that can be set look at the Eucalyptus Cookbook attributes. Edit the etc/environment.yml file to match your deployment topology and configuration.
In this stage we run validations against the configuration file to ensure that the deployment will succeed as we expect.
This step ensures that Chef is installed on all servers and that we can SSH to all of them. It is nice to know that we are on good footing before we get going with the deployment.
euca-deploy prepare -p <root-ssh-password-for-deployment-systems>This step deploys the CLC and initializes the database. Here we are getting a bit deeper and if complete, we can assume that we've are on good footing to continue deploying the rest of the cloud.
euca-deploy bootstrap -p <root-ssh-password-for-deployment-systems>Provisions the rest of the system or update the configuration of an existing system. If you change anything in your environment.yml, you can use this to push that change out to your cloud.
euca-deploy provision -p <root-ssh-password-for-deployment-systems>This step will grab all necessary information from a system in order to provide artifacts for use in debugging a problem.
