This document provides instructions for setting up a multi-cloud VPC using Pertino to connect an Amazon server in Oregon and a Rackspace server in Chicago. It outlines the steps to sign up for Pertino, install the Pertino client on each server, and dynamically assign each server a private IP address, allowing the servers to privately communicate across clouds.

1. How to set up a Multi-Cloud VPC with Pertino

2. 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

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

4. 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.

5. Now, we add the Pertino server.
And install the Pertino client.

6. 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.

7. Dynamically assigned IP address
Pertino 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.

8. 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.

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

10. 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.

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