Getting Started with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud

The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments.

You may use the following installation tutorials:

• Installation from the Installer CD
  This tutorial covers UEC installation from the Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition CD, and assumes a basic network topology, with a single system serving as the "all-in-one controller", and one or more nodes attached. This is the recommended tutorial if you want to familiarize yourself with UEC with a (relatively) simple installation.

• Normal installation using the packages
  This tutorial describes how to deploy UEC on already-installed Ubuntu servers in a setup similar to the default install.

• Advanced installation using the packages on separate servers
  Use this tutorial if you want to deploy a more complex network topology (e.g., multiple clusters, or running the required cloud services from separate physical machines).
