Thread: New to MAAS, OpenStack, and JuJu. Not sure if I am doing the right setup.

hi everyone,
i've been tasked employer setup drupal server redundancy possible. old drupal server got corrupted , hard drive failed. rebuilt new ubuntu server , got up. uber paranoid want mitigate fault possible. know cloud won't stop corruption have backups in place. fault tolerance , scalability. plus if can other uses of these brand new servers using cloud, better. these servers pretty overpowered running drupal alone.

linux server choice has been ubuntu, start googling how cluster ubuntu server. lot of things i've read pointing use maas, juju, , openstack. think wires being crossed here or being short circuited.

simple question is, continue setup maas, juju, , openstack things become more clearer on i'm doing setup webserver on single ubuntu install?

right head exploding sooo new information. currently, got 12.10 server setup maas configured 2 nodes in ready state. right in saying maas configuration done? go here? thing have time play. know going key used juju , openstack do. should use juju installing openstack? openstack going controlling 2 nodes in ready state?

sorry newbie questions if can say, "keep going configuration. it'll make sense once install openstack through juju." or correct me point me in right direction.

thanks.

you might overkilling openstack if need 2 nodes, speaking you're heading in right direction.

openstack allow have generic cloud can deploy other services on top of, if plan on adding more services in addition drupal that'll way go. there's drupal , mysql charm, though drupal charm doesn't production-ready me (i'll ping check out). mysql charm awesome though, , should enable set resilient db deployment.

hardest thing you'll have figure out when moving cloud deployment how think services instead of machines , webservers. instead of manually setting drupal , mysql you'll tell juju deploy 2 things , connect them together, , it'll heavy lifting.

edit: seems hard because you're setting private cloud @ small scale; hard work frontloaded, once you're , running when want expand can add nodes easily.
