1 click deploy VPC network

[Richard Persaud]

Hello,

We plan on using cloudStack for classroom style deployments, where each user will get the same setup but in different VPCs.

How can I set up cloudStack so when a user logs into their account, there is a 1 click deploy template (VPC, tiers and VMs)?

Hi Richard,

you are looking for 1 click deploy from within CloudStack ? That is not
possible actually. You do need to deploy VPC, then networks, then VMs etc.
But you could automate this via CloudMonkey (CLI on Linux) or perhaps do
API calls to provision all needed resources - CloudStack provides very
powerfull API and you should consider using it.

Cheers
Andrija

Hello, Richard.

Well, there are two options:
1. Extend frontend with a plugin which will do everything you need.
2. Implement callback app which will be bound to account 1st login or
registration and automatically creates everything you need.

Anyway, the customization is required. If you decide to go with the second
option, you may contact me directly
as we have implemented CS self-registration service which can do everything
you need:

Hi Richard,

Why don't try with Terraform ?
You can provide same terraform file for all of your student.
Just need to automate (or not) the users creation with api key/secret key if you plan to use specific ID for each student.
Or create a bunch of user like User01, User02...and reuse them for the next classroom.

Best regards,
N.B

Yes terraform could be ideal (doesn't get you 1-click from w/in CloudStack, but gives you control of what gets set up 'per user').
