Deploying Your First Virtual Machine
If you are the kind of person who just likes to get stuck in and get your hands dirty, we'd recommend that you start here. If you are the other type of person who prefers to understand all of the moving parts before you start, we'd recommend that you head over to Provisioning Infrastructure, then come back here.
Overview
When your organization is first created, you are given a tutorial blueprint to work with.
Goals
By completing this tutorial, you will learn to:
Grant Venue Permissions
You must configure your AWS account or Azure subscription so that Tuono can make changes. See our knowledge base articles on how to perform this one-time venue setup:
Configuring AWS Permissions
Configure Cloud Credentials
Visit our page on Cloud Credentials to learn how to add venue credentials to your organization.
You can also view the Cloud Credential Setup tour in the portal.
Create an Environment
Visit our page on Creating an Environment. Follow it through "Modify the Prefix". When you rename your environment, name it "tutorial".
You can also view the Create your Environment tour in the portal.
Add a Blueprint
Your account comes populated with a tutorial blueprint. While on the environment details page, you can add blueprints using the ➕ in the upper-right corner of the panel titled "blueprints".
Set Variables
Our tutorial uses a variable admin_public_key for the SSH Key used to access a virtual machine. We do not generate or store this SSH key, so you will need to generate one. Visit our SSH Keypairs tutorial page if you need guidance.
The variables pane is found on the environment page.
Preview
On the environment details view, click the Preview button. If you did not set the required variables, you will get an error, otherwise this will start a Job. If you open the Job you can see the progress of the provisioning that is taking place. In this case, no changes are being made to your AWS account or Azure subscription. The summary will show you what actions would take place if you apply the environment.
You can take our tour on how to navigate operations in your Environment in the portal.
Apply
On the environment details view, click the Apply button. This will start a Job. If you open the Job you can see the progress of the provisioning that is taking place. When the job completes you have successfully provisioned cloud resources! If you click on the console link below the Tuono logo you can jump to the venue-specific management console to inspect the results.
To find the IP address of the virtual machine you provisioned:
Open the Inventory in the environment detail view.
Search for the IP address assigned to the virtual machine.
Once you have the IP address you can use the SSH Private Key to connect to the virtual machine.
