→INVESTIGATION 1: Extra VM Setup
We're only simulating the real world where you'd have hunreds of VMs in one or more clouds, but you can just imagine that the VMs you're creating on your computer are actually being created on an Amazon or Microsoft server.
== PART 1 2 - Create master VM Worker image ==
Create a new virtual machine, and allocate for it 1GB or RAM and 8GB of disk space. Install a Basic Web Server configuration of CentOS in that VM using the same CentOS .iso file you used for your first machine in this course.
Create a new SSH key on your main VM with your regular user. Please avoid using root. Then set things up so that your regular user on your main VM can SSH to the slave1 VM as root without putting in a password.
== PART 3 - Clone the Workers ==
Now make four clones of the master worker image you've just created. Then make sure that each of them has a unique IP address. That's all you're required to change manually. All the other configuration on the workers (inlcuding the hostnames) will be set by Fabric. Normally you would have some kind of automation doing all this cloning and IP address assignment as well, but we don't have time for that this semester.
