Cloudstack 4.3 management installation

Cloudstack is an opensource Cloud platform which is robust as well as its rich features enables it to work in both Public and private cloud. Over the years its installation has become easier and easier and I was curious to check the new 4.3 version. As hypervisor I have used XEN but there are other options as well such as KVM, VMware, Hyper-V, LXC. Although its installation is pretty straight forward but here it goes:

I have deployed it in CentOS 6.5 server. I will update the details of steps:

hostname –fqdn

Check the hostname (fully qualified domain name)

If it doesn’t show the hostname then edit the name in /etc/hosts and insert the line.

172.19.10.7 hostname.domain.com

update the server repository

yum update -y
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo
