Introduction
The Dell Cloud Solution for Web Applicat i ons (DCSWA) is an optimized
private cloud solution for running virtual i z e d we b a ppl i c ations, databases, and
other compute nodes efficiently. The s ol uti on i nc ludes hardware, software, and
services and is highly scalable from the lab t o massive data centers.
The solution is offered as a turnkey package containing software, hardware, and
core services (i.e., installation and support).
Cloud Defini ti o n
In DCSWA, a cloud is define d as a collection of interconnected pods, racks, and
nodes. A pod is a collection of up to 12 racks, with ea c h ra c k conta i ni ng up to
15 compute nodes to handle a variety of web applications.
Each pod has an administration/provisioning server (PS) that manages the
compute nodes. In DCSWA, the Joyent Cloud Control (CC) softwa re
component is housed in the PS of one of the pods in the c loud. Performance and
redundancy are handled by scaling out the a ppl i c ation to multiple nodes in the
cloud.
Joyent SmartMachine
A SmartMachine, formerly called Accelerator, is a zone running on Joyent’s
SmartOS. It is a UNIX para-virtualized virtual machine (VM) that uses
dedicated server virtualizati on to mana ge fluctuating loads by bursting onto
additional CPUs that have available resources.
In addition to SmartMachines, the sol ut i on provide s the virtual Zeus Load
Balancer to enable scaling of the web application across multiple
SmartMachines. With a traditional multi-tiered web application, load balancers
can be inserted between all three tiers (web, applications, and database layers) to
provide performance and redundancy. An addi t i ona l MySQL optimized
SmartMachine is provided to facili t a te ra pi d de pl oyme nt of da tabase
components for applications. This set of Sm a rtMa chines represents the basis of
the platform as a service (PaaS) environment.
Introduction | 5
Cloud Management
The cloud is managed, maintained, se c ured, and backed up through software
components. The management components provide re porting, monitoring,
operating, and diagnostic functions a t bot h the cloud administrator and cloud
user levels. The solution defines a maintenance and backup/disaster recovery
methodology for both the SmartMachines a nd the infrastructure components.
Wrapped around all of these features are securit y fe a t ure s a nd m e t hodol ogies
that allow for secure multi-tenant operations.
Solution Com po nen ts
The solution comprises hardware a nd s oftware c om pone nt s , outlined below.
Figure 1. High-Level Solution Architecture
Introduction | 6
Hardware Compone nts
The hardware components include:
•
Administration/Provisioning Server
•
Compute Nodes
•
Network Infrastructure.
Administration/Provisioning Server
The administration/provisioning server provides the mult i pl e c l oud control, user
portal, and provisioning functions for the solut i on.
Compute Nodes
The compute nodes are a collection of client services that run on each physical
server except the infrastructure server. The services implement the components
of the stack that provision and monitor SmartMachi nes running on the nodes.
Network Infrastructure
The network infrastructure consist s of the c ol l e ction of top-of-rack (ToR)
switches and core switches that facilitate the connectivity between the
administration/provisioning s e rve r and re spective compute nodes, and the
networking infrastructure.
Software Components
The software components include:
•
Cloud Control
•
Cloud Management API
•
User Portal
•
Telemeter

Figure 2. Software Components
Cloud Control
In DCSWA, the administration portal is referred to as Cl oud Control. Cloud
Control manages cloud operations , including locations (datacenters), pods, racks,
rack-mountable devices (load balancers, servers, console servers, storage
devices, switches, appliances and routers), the network (IPs, subnets, and virtual
IPs), SmartMachines (zones), and customers.
Cloud Control also includes reporting for various objects in the cloud
infrastructure. Most Cloud Control functions focus on inventory management,
IP assignment, and assoc iati ons t o ot he r obj e c t s in t he dat ac ente r, that is,
managing servers and zones.

Cloud Management API
This programmatic interface enables system integrators to access Cloud
Control’s functionality via a RESTful API.
Figure 4. Main Cloud Control Screen
Introduction | 9
User Portal
With the self-service user portal, you can perform certain tasks:
•
Create SmartMachines (up to your quota).
•
Reboot a SmartMachine.
•
Shutdown a SmartMachine.
•
Delete a SmartMachine.
NOTE:
Capacity can be added to an existing SmartMachine by an administrator using
Cloud Control, provided that there is available quota.

Introduction | 10
Telemeter
The telemeter measures consumption. All te l emeter information is provided in
graphical form for each zone in Cloud Control.
Figure 6. Sample Telemeter Graphs
Measuring Consum ption
Measuring consumption is important i n both private and public clouds. In
private clouds, consumption measure ment supports departmental charge-backs.
In public clouds, consumption mea sure ment supports both the pay in advance
(subscriptions) and pay afterwards (invoic i ng) models.
Because consumption requirement s c an change over time, initially allocated
resources may no longer match needs. The re fore , it is critical to meter resource
allocations on an ongoing basis so that invoices and reports reflect actual use.
Consumption measurement is also val ua bl e for tra c ki ng t he amount of resourc e s
actually consumed (subset) versus the a mount a l l oc ated. Comparing the subset
to the full allocation can enable greater efficiencies. This is especially important
for service providers in capacity pla nning. The system provides measures of
consumption for both customers and service providers.
Introduction | 11
Cloud Provisionin g
Clouds must be created. This process, called cloud provisioning, requires several
steps.
1
Install the software.
2
Provision the network.
3
Execute the JumpStart.
4
Configure the head node.
5
Set up the global zone.
6
Set up compute node(s).
Cloud Control uses the Ubuntu Linux operating syst e m be c ause it is fast and
secure. Ubuntu is integrated into the software and is installed automatically.

Accessing a New SmartMachine
When you provision a SmartMachine, Cloud Control creates several accounts
your client can use to access it. The client can choose to receive this login
information in a welcome email or access it t hrough the user portal.
Both the user portal and Cloud Control display the us e rna me , but not t he
password. If the client changes the passwords, the passwords di spl ayed in the
user portal or in Cloud Control will no longer be valid.

group. To use the
To manage users and groups, log into your SmartMachi ne as admin or use su to
become the root user. If you log in as admin, run the comm a nds desc ribed in this
section with
sudo
Creating Groups
Solaris users are always members of one or more groups . Cre a t e groups so t hat a
set of users can share the same permissions across different files. For example,
create a web group for all files relating to a website.
To create a new group:
sudo groupadd <groupname>
You are asked for the password to the admin account. Once the password is
accepted, the group is created and there is no output to the console.
Verify that the group has been created by l ooki ng a t
grep <groupname> /etc/group
where
<groupname>
Creating Users
To add new users:
sudo useradd -d /home/<username> -m -g <group> -s
/usr/bin/bash <username>
Set the password for the new user with the following command:
sudo passwd <username>
command, the user must be a member of the staff group.
.
/etc/group
is the name you used in the initial
groupadd
:
command.
Adding Users to Groups
To change a user’s primary group:
sudo usermod -g <
To add a user to a supplemental group:
sudo usermod -G <groupname> <username>
