COMP3000 Operating Systems F23: Openstack Instructions

You can create a VM instance on SCS Openstack for the tutorials by doing the following:

1. If you don't already have an SCS account for Openstack, you will need to create one here: https://newacct.scs.carleton.ca/scs_authentication/newacct-policy-form.php

1. Log in to https://openstack-stein.scs.carleton.ca/ (must be from Carleton's network).
2. Switch to the COMP3000-W23 project (top-left corner), and launch an instance (button on the right).

   

3. Make a choice for necessary items according to the screenshots attached.

4. You must add "ping-ssh-egress" to the security groups, or you'll not be able to ping/ssh to your instance.

5. Assign a floating IP.

   

   NEVER attempt to create a snapshot

6. Then the new IP address (134.117.XXX.XXX) to the right of 192.168.XXX.XXX will be the one (floating IP) you will use to connect to your instance.
7. Note down your floating IP and your instance name for subsequent uses for the rest of the term.
