How to set up a Multi-Cloud VPC with Pertino

How to VPC in 1, 2, 3

1. Sign up to create your account.

2. Install Pertino on the resources you wish to connect (Amazon-Oregon and Rackspace-Chicago in this demo).

3. Ping.

wget -O - http://reposerver.pertino.com/Pertino-GPG-Key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://reposerver.pertino.com/debs precise multiverse' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pertino.list"

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install pertino-client

Here is a Pertino network setup with one active device – our laptop.

Amazon-Oregon Server

We created a Linux server in Amazon-Oregon. This is a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04.

Following the instructions at https://pages.pertino.com/linux-installation.html for an apt based installation, we set the GPG key.

Now, we add the Pertino server.

And install the Pertino client.

During a manual installation, the Pertino client will prompt for user credentials. We entered our Pertino username and password.

The Pertino installation on Amazon-Oregon is now complete.

Dynamically assigned IP addressPertino has installed and configured a new network interface in the private address space associated with the user credentials. The IP address is dynamically assigned.

In this case, the dynamic private address is 50.203.224.2

Using the ifconfig command, you can see the new interface and the private IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Notice the Pertino interface now shows the new Amazon instance.

If we click on the Amazon instance in the interface, it will display the Pertino private IP Address of the new server.

The laptop and Amazon instance are now on a shared private network, using dynamic private IP addresses.

If we follow these same steps, we can add a Rackspace-Chicago server to our network.

Notice the Pertino interface now shows the new Rackspace instance.

Now, the Rackspace server in Chicago can privately communicate with the Amazon server in Oregon—a multi-cloud virtual private cloud.
