Cleura Cloud Launch Pad

The Cleura Cloud Launch Pad repository contains a set of essential orchestration configurations you can use to bootstrap a virtual environment on Cleura Cloud.

We support these orchestration frameworks:

• OpenStack Heat
• Ansible (with the openstack.cloud collection)
• OpenTofu (with the openstack provider)

Building a Launch Pad requires a Cleura Cloud account, and a valid set of OpenStack API credentials.

Building a Launch Pad results in the creation of these resources:

• A Secure Shell keypair (created from a public key you specify).
• A virtual router with public internet access that is connected to internal networks supporting IPv4 and IPv6.
• Your Pad Ramp, which is a jump host pre-installed with Ubuntu, Debian, or Rocky Linux that you can connect with by Secure Shell. You can optionally restrict Secure Shell access to this host to a source IP address or network.

To check out the Launch Pad repository, run this command:

git clone https://github.com/cleura/launch-pad

For specifics building a Launch Pad using the orchestration platform of your choice, see the additional notes on Heat, Ansible, and OpenTofu.

Once you have built your Launch Pad, you can launch further resources from it.
