Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds can be a complex thing to build,
|
|
and by definition they have a plethora of options, which often lead to confusion
|
|
for even experienced admins who are newcomers to building cloud platforms.
|
|
The goal for this runbook is to provide a straightforward set of instructions
|
|
to get you up and running with CloudStack with a minimum amount of trouble.
