Setting Up Nodes Using Rackspace

You can get a Flocker cluster running using Rackspace. You’ll need to setup at least two nodes.

  1. Create a new cloud server:

    • Visit https://mycloud.rackspace.com.
    • Click “Create Server”.
    • Choose a supported Linux distribution (either RHEL 7, CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 14.04) as your image.
    • Choose a Flavor. We recommend at least “8 GB General Purpose v1”.
    • Add your SSH key.
  2. SSH in:

    You can find the IP in the Server Details page after each node is created:

    ssh root@203.0.113.109
    

Next Step

Return to the installation instructions specific to your operating system to install clusterhq-flocker-node on each node in your cluster:
