The sandbox is a CentOS 6.3 virtual machine image with a pre-configured OpenNebula 4.4 front-end, a virtualization host using QEMU ready to execute virtual machines, and prepared images to offer a complete and rich cloud experience. Users are able to log into an OpenNebula cloud, peer the managed resources, and launch instances of virtual machines without the hassle of configuring a physical infrastructure. ====== 1. Requirements ====== * An Amazon AWS account. Visit [[http://aws.amazon.com|Amazon Web Services]] for more information. * An SSH Keypair. Read [[http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/generating-a-keypair.html|this guide]] for more information, in particular the **''How to Have AWS Create the Key Pair for You''** section. ====== 2.

To start it using the command line you can issue this command: $ ec2-run-instances ami-7190b018 -g allopen -k We are setting the security group to all ports open with the ''-g allopen'' directive. However you may [[http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-network-security.html|create your own]] with these ports open: 22 (ssh), 9869 (sunstone), 29876 (novnc). You can get the public DNS using ec2-describe-instances with the identifier given by the previous command: $ ec2-describe-instances i-xxxxxxxx ====== 3. Take a Test Drive ======
