How to create an instance in WSO2 Internal IaaS (OpenStack) and establish a ssh session

Host OS: Mac OSX Yosemite
Instance OS: ubuntu 12.04

Login to WSO2 IaaS.



Step 1 - Generate key pair

Go to
Project -> Compute -> Access & Security -> Key Pairs.



Click on import key pair button.



As per the description shown above in the screenshot itself, generate a key pair by login in to the terminal of the host machine.

Suhans-MacBook-Pro:~ suhanr$ cd .ssh/
> ssh-keygen -t rsa -f cloud.key

Your cloud key pair will be generated.
You can view them on your ssh certificates folder.

Suhans-MacBook-Pro:~ suhanr$ cd .ssh/
Suhans-MacBook-Pro:.ssh suhanr$ ls

cloud.key cloud.key.pub github_rsa github_rsa.pub known_hosts

Copy the public key content.

> vi cloud.key.pub
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2 <.....................> j6BVmklren3DauAOGFLsql8gcXGLmCJbnz+b83MnWIMHF343lIvpfeHentJbS60tCipY4fEcRv1aSYpfJ8VswI8MJgRmdP+2bJdKGr1gDvwIvI/q6F6uXoT0F suhanr@Suhans-MacBook-Pro.local

Paste it on the Public Key field (refer image above).
Give a name for the Key Pair Name at your convenience.

Press Import Key Pair button.

Now you can see your new key in the Key Pairs tab as shown below.



Step 2 - Launch instance by using the generated key pair

Go to the Instances tab.
Click on launch instance button.

Fill the basic information as follows.



In the Access & Security tab give the key pair you generated in Step 1.



Click Launch button.
It will take nearly 10 seconds to put the instance to the running state.



Step 3 - Connect to the instance via ssh

From the Instances tab find the ip of the created new instance (refer image above).

Go to terminal of the host machine.

Suhans-MacBook-Pro:~ suhanr$ cd .ssh/

Connect to the instance via following command.

> ssh -i cloud.key  ubuntu@192.168.57.75

Suhans-MacBook-Pro:.ssh suhanr$ ssh -i cloud.key  ubuntu@192.168.57.75
