Deploy OpenNebula On-prem with miniONE

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In this tutorial, we will install an OpenNebula Front-end in under ten minutes, using the miniONE installation tool provided by OpenNebula.

miniONE is a straightforward tool for deploying an evaluation version of OpenNebula. After running the miniONE script, all the OpenNebula services needed to use, manage and run a small cloud deployment will be installed on a single server.

This tutorial covers installation of a Front-end and KVM hypervisor node on a local machine with a screen attached. If you are installing miniONE on remote infrastructure you may need to use SSH and port forwarding to access user interfaces in your local browser, please refer to the port forwarding instructions before continuing.

Deploy OpenNebula on AWS with miniONE

Overview

In this tutorial, we will install an OpenNebula Front-end and a KVM hypervisor node on an AWS bare metal instance in under ten minutes using the miniONE installation tool from OpenNebula.

Validate the Environment

Previous guides in this section detail how to deploy OpenNebula on-premises with miniONE or deploy OpenNebula on AWS. This guide demonstrates how to validate that the insallation procedure has succeeded and your OpenNebula cloud is ready for operation, including:

An overview of the resources automatically created during that installation
An example of what you can do with this type of installation – in this case, installing a Virtual Machine from the OpenNebula Marketplace

Installed Resources

After following the instructions described in Deploy OpenNebula On-premises with miniONE or in the PoC ISO installation guide, the following resources are already created and configured:

Kubernetes Quick Start with OneKS

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

OneKS is OpenNebula’s Elastic Kubernetes service. It offers a structured way to create, access, operate, upgrade, recover, and deprovision Kubernetes Clusters. OneKS enables you to manage a Kubernetes Cluster simply and intuitively through the Sunstone interface or using the command line on your OpenNebula Front-end. This guide demonstrates how to launch a new Kubernetes Cluster on the hypervisor node installed with your miniONE installation and deploy a simple application.

Before Starting

This guide assumes that you are evaluating OneKS using a standard miniONE deployment of OpenNebula, having followed the miniONE installation guides in the Getting Started section of the OpenNebula documentation, with the Front-end and a KVM hypervisor node installed on a single Host. If you are using an existing OpenNebula installation deployed by other means (e.g. manual installation or using OneDeploy), or you are using hypervisor nodes installed on separate Hosts, we recommend that you follow the guides in the Elastic Kubernetes documentation since additional configuration is required.
