Another thing I gonna have look at and try a bit more, but RBX-3 seems to want IP address to login to while RBX-2 seems to want the machine name / address

eg Using above as example

RBX-3 login



Opposed to

RBX-2 login

Yes Neil, it looks loads better. There are still couple of french things there to be translated also, but I guess that will happen in time.

The Consumation information looks to be clear and should be easy enough to understand, although the Disk IO should be explained a little better for those who dont know what it measuring and possibly Réseau (Network) changing for Bandwith consumed??

Also is there a possibility of Ubuntu 9.x or 10.04 32bit edition as well as the 64bit as is done with The Debian package, and maybe even an option to add windows licenses and a windows install??

As you can see, there is no option to stop or restart it and no way of removing it either.

Your VPS is stuck with a different error, customers who had VPS stuck on 10% were fixed. As mentioned before you if you have an errors you should post them onto the cloud mailing list, subscribe by sending a blank email to cloud-subscribe@ml.ovh.net and replying to the confirm email you get.

I keep getting the VM to respond to pings, but all it is doing is rejecting the keys.

I have tried creating new key / VM pair and even with fresh brand new ones, they still do exactly same.

Its only been doing this since yesterday (01 May 2010).

Also some VM's that are created, get the host generated while others don't.

VM's Dying when being created, and 1 died whilst stopping. (see below)



(Yes I know, not very imaginative names, but it was early hrs of the morning creating them)

Also on side note, I like the improvements to the Cloud-Manager that have been going on, and the English translation has happened fairly quickly (especially when you consider MOM still has loads of french in it.....)

Great work, keep it up, but fix the errors I getting please

Pricing by the hour seems far to complicated, especially as people will have used the service before they pay.
Please just do monthly, but with limits etc.

I currently use my Cloud for an image CDN for my site as the amount of ram and cpu needed is very low (1GB of ram and very very little cpu). but it uses about 500GB's worth of bandwidth a month. Just on the bandwidth the cloud would cost €25 a month. i would be better off with C-05G Kimsufi! (What i used to use).

Myatu
27-04-2010, 19:35
Here's the relevant bit (somewhat) translated from Oles:

Hello,

I try to summarize our discussion, our reflections to determine the products/solutions that OVH will propose. One can as call that of marketing to determine the markets as the cloud must answer.

In term of invoicing, we will always invoice disk I/O and external traffic of the network. 2 formulas will be proposed: per hour without commitment, per hour with a commitment of 1 year, or per hour with 3 years commitment.

The idea is to start the clouds, to develop the application, to pass in production and to adjust the requirements in resources, all this without commitment; then when all is known and one can where one goes, reduce the costs while passing in 1year/3years, knowing which is the growth of all each hour/month/year.

And thus that you can envisage the costs at different periods. You will be able to mix Cloud in same will infra.

The “ha” high availability: it is about an option which makes it possible to copy the state of RAM AND disc in real time of VM with another, of a physical server to another.

As follows:

- The "mutualized" cloud (mC) with limited resources and predictable invoicing per hour/month. The possibility of increasing the resources after a simple restart of Cloud. No high availability. Possible to take the SAN/NAS from 1GB to 1TB of space. Either you have a /dev/sdX or you have NFS/Samba mount. Possible to use load balancing on port 80 and 443 (not by IP).

This is our idea for the miniCloud. With this level, one starts X cloud servers on each machine with a single storage/backup infrastructure within OVH.

example of mC:
+ 1 core/1GHz 256Mo of RAM, 5GB disc with
- - 0.01Euro per hour
- - 23.99Euro per year, then 0.001Euro per hour
+ invoicing of I/O disc
- - 1.000.000 I/O = 0.10Euro
+ invoicing of the external traffic network (Ovh/Internet) = 0.05Euro per GB


- The "dedicated" cloud (cC - coreCloud) with limited resources and predictable invoicing per hour/month. Possible to use the "high availability" option that allows you to hot-swap the cloud between servers without downtime. Possible to increase the resources with or without downtime (to be tested and depends on the "high availability" option). Possible to take the SAN/NAS from 1GB to 1TB of space. Either you have a /dev/sdX or you have NFS/Samba.

These are our ideas of the coreCloud. With this level, one starts 1 cloud on each machine and use a single storage/backup infrastructure inside OVH.

example of cC:
+ 2 cores/32GB of RAM (thus 2GB of RAM DDR3)
+ 4 cores/32GB of RAM (thus 8GB of RAM DDR3)
+ 8 cores/32GB of RAM (thus 16GB of RAM DDR3)
- 5GB of diskspace
+ to see whether there are needs moreover
- - 2 cores
- - X euro per hour
- - 799 euro per year + X euro per hour

- The "private dedicated" cloud (myCloud), where it is possible to create a "cloud" and use it as you wish. On this level, one delivers to you 4/2/8 cores which you can use as you want. The same for RAM. And the diskspace will be on OVH's storage infrastructure. The idea is that myCloud (alias Private Cloud Computing or PCC) allows the resale of the cloud with an adaptation to the level of customer requirement. Possible to take the "high availability" option. VPN, load balancing, storage, etc.

- The "unlimited" dedicated cloud which is a cloud with 48 cores, 196GB of RAM, 100TB of discspace which costs 0.01Euro per hour. The invoice is based on these 5 parameters:

- CPU usage
- RAM usage
- Amount of diskspace used
- disk I/O usage
- the network traffic

It's a product for those who do not know if it is necessary to use all the resources, but avoids investing in a complex and expensive infrastructure for only a few days.

Here are the 4 approaches which should appeal to 99.99% of needs of Cloud Computing.

Did I forget something?
Everything looks really good, except this one sticky issue: "In term of invoicing, we will always invoice disk I/O ..."

I mentioned this and Oles agrees he isn't all too fond of this either, but is rather a necessity to prevent abuse of the servers / keep the quality levels high.

I personally think there are better ways to keep the quality levels acceptable (network inspection), and am concerned that disk I/O will add up too quick (and so becomes less attractive price-wise).

For instance, if both read+write IO were combined in the calculation (which is also a question left open: how is IO calculated?), in 6 days of light usage I got these results from iostat:

Code:
sda 16.96 815.85 446.06 432082003 236241664
Based on the pricing model discussed by Oles, that would come down to about €11 per day. And as mentioned, it's only "lightly" used, and nothing dodgy like torents or whatever. At such a rate, in a month's time, I can afford myself 3 MG-09 Best-Of's giving me a LOT more resources to "play" with.

Granted, Oles said the prices are still being tweaked, but it wouldn't have to be "tweaked" if you paid a fixed price for disk usage (and, as mentioned, used network inspection).

Its all in french but its looking like you pay by the hour for want you use.

All i want is a vps where i pay so much a month and know exactly what it will cost me a month.

here is the 4 approaches text in english
Hello
We hesitated on two approaches at the Cloud
- Provide limited resources and does not charge to use
- Provide the resources and unlimited use charge

One turns to the second case for several reasons:
- Avoid it said it's slow and it's **** (see RPS)
- "I do not know what I need, I take the max and that I
invoice to use "
- That's the cloud and that's the real value added towards
everything you see on the "no cloud" (including the dedicated
in ovh)

Basically, I take a VM with 48 cores, 200GB RAM, 100To of
discs and I am charged to use real CPU / RAM /
disk and network every hour. We are taking the max
these three parameters in the GB transferred per hour + + I / O
discs and is charged hourly.

What do you think?

Okay, what am I missing?

Created a cloud machine, called it "greg4". Status is "demarree".

Clicked on "Cle Ssh", entered "greg4" as the keyname and saved it.

Opened a terminal and typed:
Code:
ssh -i greg4.pem greg4@178.32.107.241
I immediately get prompted for the password.

I have tried
Code:
ssh -i greg4.pem greg4@178.32.107.241
ssh -i greg4.pem 178.32.107.241
ssh -i greg4.pem mc-178-32-107-241.ovh.net
ssh -i greg4.pem root@mc-178-32-107-241.ovh.net
but I still get asked for the password.
Permissions are 600 on the pem file.

Well i've got two stuck at 0% progress, one that's stuck after I tried shutting it down. And another that's running ok.

The one that I do have working seems alot faster than the old cloud series. It's plowing through installing gnome-core

Getting remote desktop guide: (Connect via Nxclient)

apt-get install libaudiofile-dev
mkdir nx
cd nx
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/...0-7_x86_64.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/...-11_x86_64.deb
wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.4.0/...-12_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxnode_3.4.0-11_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i nxserver_3.4.0-12_x86_64.deb
cd
rm -rf nx
adduser nxtest <--change this (nxtest) to the user you want to be able to use remote desktop
apt-get install x-window-system
apt-get install gnome-core gdm synaptic
Works great Connect via nxclient as NXtest (Or whatever you changed it to) and the password. Doesn't take up too much space either. Nothing like what gnome-desktop takes up

That new VM finished, by the way. So I guess they fixed that 0% issue. I just don't understand the graphs - are they for the server on which the VM is located, or the VM itself? They also seem to be inverse, because when I did "iperf", the "Network" graph dropped to zero. Managed 470Mbit on that one, btw:

That sucks If it's any consolation, I just started the creation of a new VM. It took some time to move from 0% but it's now at 50% (took like 5 minutes). Perhaps you can create a new SSH key and a new VM (make sure the key shows up on the screen before you click "Lancer").

Do you have a Linux server at OVH (non-cloud, that is?) - In that case, "chmod 600" the pem file, then use it with "ssh -i pemfile.pem cloud-server-ip-address.ovh.net".

Edit: Come to think of it, it's easy enough to derive the IP address from the server name. See if it matches up with a nslookup (maybe OVH's DNS server is acting whacky and sends you to someone else's server - it's a "gamma" afterall).

Well, 1 out of the two made it to 100%. I just logged into it and it works fine. The SSH key you created ("clé ssh") is used to login to the server.

That's right. 4x 2Ghz, 2 Gig RAM and 5 Gigs of storage. NIC averaged 200 Mbps (and peaked at 264 Mbps / 33 MB/s). I LIKE

Strange thing is that despite the Cloud Manager says there's an error at 90% for the 2nd VM (and the reboot / start-stop button is disabled), I was able to login to this 2nd server without any issues. I guess I better not crash the "failed" VM, since I can't reboot it

The new VMs do NOT show up on the OVH Manager v3 (so you have to use the Cloud Manager).

PS: Little tip if you use Windows and PuTTY: Convert the key to a PPK with PuTTYGen -> "Conversions" menu -> "Import key" -> ( .pem file you downloaded ) -> "Save Private Key" button.

When are you going to start selling ones with larger hard drives OVH? These are REALLY Good.
My Current cloud setup with GUI interface, really fast upload/download.
These are perfect for large scale file hosting.

Right, mine is also stuck at 0%. I'll update you if it changes.

@derchris - What @exw said. "Cle SSH" to create an SSH key first. It'll ask you to give it an arbitrary name, like "my_cloud_key". Then you download the key, which I pressume you would need to gain access to your cloud via SSH (so no passwords). You can then create a new VM (and "my_cloud_key" or whatever you chose is already selected; as for location, regardless of what you select (Demo, RBX2, RBX3), it'll be in "Demo" - bug?). Never got further than that, since it gets stuck creating the VM (at 0%). It's a bit of a pain, but you can use translate.google.com to help you around a bit.

But there is a input field on the SSH thing.
Is it asking for a password?

Its not that hard lol , there are only 2 buttons , use cle ssh to make ssh key and then the first button to install and just click next.. since theres nothing to choose

Hello
This is the last time I do that you have Claude

- Is that Claude is among us?
- Ouaaaaiiisss ...
- I have heard nothing!
- OUAAIIIISSS!
- Are you all ready to Clauder?
- OUUAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Okeeeeeeey!

... principle of gamma test ...

It happens in phase "gamma" of Cloud Computing Project
at OVH. We set 3 objectives:

1.) Must validate the proper functioning of the manager (web interface)
which must in its Cloud "emotional". The emotional it
means nothing and say everything ... saying that has emotions when
we watch a movie, when images we arrive at the great
speed ... it's a bit like we are trying to create with the manager
v5 ... one click and transactions are immediately ... click
and it still ping ... click and splash and bang ... things
They soon ...

2.) At the same time we want to test the VM type 4 cores at 2.0GHz
with 2GB of DDR3 RAM (16GB futures) and 5GB of disk (1TB term)
connected to the network at 1Gbps. It is likely that
this configuration there is the minimum qu'Ovh
propose to ... 0.01Euro HT / hour ... yes yes to 0.01Euro HT / hour
.... + Use of resources that provides you
every hour ... with graphs and information coming in
the manager in real time ...

3.) That it is also valid in the "gamma" test ... Billing
(Which will remain "virtual" test of gamma ...)

... Let's roll ...

If you have a service billing day at Ovh you
can participate in the tests "gamma". You can
create up to 5 MV in 3 different data centers: RBX1, and RBX2
RBX3. The "gamma" test is always free. It will last between
2 and 3 weeks. The time to fix all the bugs and manage
growth in the number of servers they should or not
produce each day ...

CAUTION:
At the time of writing this email, it is still rolling out
the hardware infrastructure for setting up the test "gamma". This will
take a few hours. The bugs are still possible.
Basically, we currently have 2500 VM running in "beta"
test and be prepared for 6000 below the VM (!!!) for the gamma
with physical servers, the vracks, the / 24 routing etc. etc.
.... In short, it requires some organization that is being
refine ... for gamma and PRODDER ... it will take any
night again ...

Hello,

It is the last time that I give you Claude

- Is it that Claude is with us ?
- yyeessssssss ...
- I have heard nothing !
- YYEEEEESSSSSSSS !
- Are you all ready to Claude ?
- YYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- okaaaaaaaaay !

... principle of gamma test ...

We move into the "Gamma" phase of the OVH Cloud Computing project. We have set three goals:

1.) It must validate the proper functioning of the manager (web interface) which is in the "emotional" Cloud version. The emotional means nothing and says everything ... say that we have emotions when we watch a movie, when the images come to us at high speed ... it's a bit like what we are trying to create with the manager v5 ... one click and transactions are immediate ... click it again and ping ... things are done without waiting ...

2.) At the same time we want to test the VM type 4 cores at 2.0GHz with 2GB of DDR3 RAM (16GB futures) and 5GB of disk (1TB eventually) connected to the network in 1Gbps. It is likely that this configuration that there is a minimum configuration that OVH offers ... £0.01 per hour ... yes yes, £0.01 per hour .... + the use of resources that we make available to you every hour ... with graphs and information coming into the manager in real time ...

3.) Something else that we must validate in the "gamma" test ... billing (which will remain "virtual" in the gamma test ...)

... Let's roll ...

If you have a billing service at OVH, you can participate in the "gamma" tests. You can create up to 5 VM in 3 different datacentres: RBX1, RBX2 and RBX3. The "gamma" test is always free. It will last between two and three weeks. This time is to fix all the bugs and manage growth in the number of servers as they should or should not occur each day ...

WARNING:
