5 Tips for Working and Living with CloudStack
I’ve been spending a lot more time on IRC these days getting help from the CloudStack community on problems and solutions with my implementation. There are a few pointers I would like to share from my recent experiences with CloudStack
1. #CloudStack IRC chatroom is your best friend
2. When deploying CloudStack 3.0.1 do so with CentOS 6.2, you will thank me later
3. Keep a ticket log of the issues you have encountered and how you were able to solve them
4. Write your own documentation walk-thru, it helps when you need to retrace your steps or write your own automation scripts later on
5. Take a breaks and do so often
