Description
This homework will all you to practice with basic virtualization technology and familiarize you with building node CLI programs.
You will start with a starter code base and modify it to fulfill the homework criteria.
Setup
Please do the following before you start the homework.
Prepare your GitHub Repo.
Sign into NCSU’s GitHub.
-
Create a private repo called HW1-DevOps.
-
Go to Settings, Collaborators and Teams, and add the TAs and instructor as a collaborator (using their unity id).

Do not create any content, yet
Clone and set-url
Clone the following repo. Then modify the remote so that it now will point to your HW1-DevOps repo.
git clone http://github.com/CSC-DevOps/V
cd V
git remote -v
git remote set-url origin https://github.ncsu.edu/<unity>/HW1-DevOps
Install and test
Install the npm packages, then create a symlink for running your program.
npm install
npm link
v up
It is expected to see some errors, as the program is not complete.

Base Requirements
VM setup (40 points)
Add the following required components to your project by editing
the customize(name) function inside commands/up.js. You will want to take advantage of the VBoxManage.execute wrapper to execute VirtualBox commands.
Add a NIC with NAT networking.
Add a port forward from 2800 => 22 for guestssh.
Add a port forward from 8080 => 9000 for a node application.
Post-Configuration (25 points)
Add the following required components to your project by editing
the postconfiguration(name) function inside the commands/up.js. You will want to take advantage of the ssh command wrapper to send commands to the VM.
Install nodejs, npm, git
Clone https://github.com/CSC-DevOps/App Install the npm packages
SSH and App (25 points)
Add a new command by creating a ssh.js inside the commands directory. When running v ssh it should ssh into your VM (25 points).
Implement and demonstrate running v ssh.
Manually run node main.js start 9000.
Demonstrate you can visit localhost:8080 to see your running App.
Extra Requirements
You can complete some or all of the following activities for extra credit by modifying your code.
Create a second NIC with either host-only or bridged networking enabled. Demonstrate that you can use your IP address to visit <address>:9000 to see your running App. (5 points)
Create a shared sync folder. This is fairly involved, only attempt if experienced—
limited help will be provided from teaching staff. (10 points)
Screencast (10)
Create a screencast of your assignment:
Demonstrate running your code to provision the VM (v up), running your customization and post-configuration steps, and ssh (v ssh) and a starting your App. Demonstrate your app running on your browser. Demonstrate any extra requirements fulfilled.
For guidelines, software, and recommendations see Screencasts.
Evaluation
Compete VM setup (40) Post-Configuration (25) SSH/APP (25)
Screencast (10)
Extra requirements (+5/+10) Answer a question (+5)
Max possible score: 120/100.
Please a submit a link to your repo here.
In your repository, have your code, link to a screencast.
The assignment is due Friday, Jan 31st before midnight.
