How to setup a simple Ubuntu Server Tomcat cluster on VirtualBox for testing?
- by Alex Pakka
I am looking for a step by step instructions to setup at leat two (and later more) simple Ubuntu Virtual Core 12.10 Server VMs on Oracle VirtualBox under Windows 7 64bit.
The test setup would be:
Apache HTTP server on the Windows host acting as a Load Balancer. The result will be that going to http://localhost:8080 would balance between two nodes and prove session replication.
Two lean, small footprint Ubuntu Server guest nodes with Java 7 and Tomcat 7.
The intention is to help everyone doing High Availability / Load Balancing development and testing to create a reasonable environment on the local workstation or mainstream notebook in as little time as possible.
