My prime goal for day 2 was to have the lab ready for the Eucalyptus workshop at 2:30PM. I would really like to thank every one of the volunteers part of this lab setup in helping me get ready for the workshop. We took around 5 machines and setup cluster controller, cloud controller, storage controller and walrus on one machine. Rest all machines were our node controllers.
Volunteers were pretty excited about the preparation of the lab. They helped me with small small things like getting a extra network interface card for the server, a local switch and my macbook displayport to VGA converter so I can share my screen on a HDTV. They also prepared and recorded a complete video of the workshop. I am not sure if I would be able to get it but if I do it could be really helpful for me as well as the whole community I hope.

Well for those who are new to Eutester, it is a framework written in python which helps you test your Eucalyptus private cloud setup. Remember, testing can sometime be a hard job so best to automate it as much as possible with all your test cases. Besides that there is a lot more to it. I guess using the existing code which is part of the test framework one can develop his/her own test cases for varied scenarios/bugs and contribute the same to the Eutester code on github.
For me personally it is a great tool to have in my ninja pockets, makes my job pretty easier. Imagine you have a bug on launchpad that you want to replicate in your environment? How long would it take to execute those Steps to follow to re-create the problem and now imagine one single program, a Eutester test case doing all that for you in one shot, that’s what I call smartness.
