Nature Conference

Abstract

Cloudboot[1] is a service that allows a PC to boot from cloud resources. Users can boot computers into special system or utility via a wired internet connection. This project framework is based on the iPXE[2] and embedded customized scripts to access cloud resources from NCHC[3] or SourceForge mirrors. The embedded scripts convert the firmware image to bind network card and get files from a tftp or http server. Therefore except the files in the boot media, everything is from the server. Just follow the boot menu and you can easily access this cloud boot service, E.g. DRBL(Diskless Remote Boot in Linux)[4], Clonezilla[5], and GParted[6] Live systems. Cloudboot also supports memtest, freedos and several GNU/Linux network installations. Cloudboot has great and easy way to help people use net boot process. Booting from the media and network configuration, select distributions, iso/kernel and mirrors, wait some minutes and enjoy our special system and utilities.

In this presentation, I will deal with the basic information about cloudboot, advanced ipxe script tips and a live demo cloudboot service. After talk, people will learn how to use cloudboot and build their own cloudboot services.
