13 The cloud dispatch service is an *experimental* service for running containers on cloud VMs. It eliminates the need for SLURM, Node Manager, and SLURM dispatcher. It works with Microsoft Azure and Amazon EC2; future versions will also support Google Compute Engine.
15 The cloud dispatch service can run on any node that can connect to the Arvados API service, the cloud provider's API, and the SSH service on cloud VMs. It is not resource-intensive, so you can run it on the API server node.
17 *Only one dispatch process should be running at a time.* If you are migrating a system that currently runs @crunch-dispatch-slurm@, it is safest to remove the @crunch-dispatch-slurm@ service entirely before installing @arvados-dispatch-cloud@.
20 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo systemctl --now disable crunch-dispatch-slurm</span>
21 ~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get remove crunch-dispatch-slurm</span>
25 h2. Create a dispatcher token
27 If you haven't already done so, create an Arvados superuser token to use as SystemRootToken in your cluster config file.
29 {% include 'create_superuser_token' %}
31 h2. Create a private key
33 Generate an SSH private key with no passphrase. Save it in the cluster configuration file (see @PrivateKey@ in the example below).
36 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">ssh-keygen -N '' -f ~/.ssh/id_dispatcher</span>
37 Generating public/private rsa key pair.
38 Your identification has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_dispatcher.
39 Your public key has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_dispatcher.pub.
40 The key fingerprint is:
42 ~$ <span class="userinput">cat ~/.ssh/id_dispatcher</span>

49 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
53 You can delete the key files after you have copied the private key to your configuration file.
56 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">rm ~/.ssh/id_dispatcher ~/.ssh/id_dispatcher.pub</span>
60 h2. Configure the dispatcher
62 Add or update the following portions of your cluster configuration file, @/etc/arvados/config.yml@. Refer to "config.defaults.yml":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html for information about additional configuration options.

156 h2. Test your configuration
158 First, "add the appropriate package repository for your distribution":{{ site.baseurl }}/install/install-manual-prerequisites.html#repos.
160 Next, install the arvados-server package.
162 On Red Hat-based systems:
165 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install arvados-server</span>
169 On Debian-based systems:
172 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install arvados-server</span>
176 Run the @cloudtest@ tool to verify that your configuration works. This creates a new cloud VM, confirms that it boots correctly and accepts your configured SSH private key, and shuts it down.
179 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">arvados-server cloudtest && echo "OK!"</span>
183 Refer to the "cloudtest tool documentation":../admin/cloudtest.html for more information.
185 h2. Install the dispatcher
187 On Red Hat-based systems:
190 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install arvados-dispatch-cloud</span>
191 ~$ <span class="userinput">sudo systemctl enable arvados-dispatch-cloud</span>
195 On Debian-based systems:
198 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install arvados-dispatch-cloud</span>
202 {% include 'notebox_begin' %}
204 The arvados-dispatch-cloud package includes configuration files for systemd. If you're using a different init system, configure a service to start and stop an @arvados-dispatch-cloud@ process as desired.
206 {% include 'notebox_end' %}
208 h2. Verify the dispatcher is running
210 Use your ManagementToken to test the dispatcher's metrics endpoint.
213 <pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">token="xyzzy"</span>
214 ~$ <span class="userinput">curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" http://localhost:9006/metrics</span>
