You need an account with an ElasticHost API compliant cloud provider for these tests!
  1. Launch the JEOS AMI built in the AMI test case: QA:TestCase_boxgrinder_deliver_ami, or any other Fedora 15 AMI.
  2. Put the following BoxGrinder config into a file named: /root/.boxgrinder/config. Insert appropriate values, see: http://boxgrinder.org/tutorials/boxgrinder-build-plugins/#ElasticHosts_Delivery_Plugin, for more information.
plugins:
  elastichosts:
    endpoint: api.lon-p.elastichosts.com              # required
    user_uuid: your-user-id                           # required
    secret_access_key: your-secret-access-key         # required
    chunk: 128                                        # default: 64 (in MB)
    start_part: 6                                     # default: 0
    wait: 30                                          # default: 5 (in s)
    retry: 2                                          # default: 3
    ssl: true                                         # default: false
    drive_uuid: b161fd8b-d56s-4eea-9055-669daaec8aa4
    drive_name: my-bg-drive

How to test

  1. Execute
    boxgrinder-build boxgrinder-appliances/testing-appliances/jeos-appls/fedora-15-jeos.appl -d elastichosts --trace
  2. Run an instance of the VM through your cloud providers tools, log on via SSH
  3. Run the following Test Case in the VM: QA:Network_basic_test_case

Expected Results

The following must be true to consider this a successful test run.

  1. Step #1 completes without error (indicated on console)
  2. Program completes with exit code 0
  3. The new image has appeared in your cloud provider's management system
  4. Step #2 completes without error
  5. QA:Network_basic_test_case is performed successfully on the new appliance
