A VM can be automatically generated that has all SONATA SDK features installed, using Vagrant and VirtualBox.

The files can be found in the folder demo_vm_SDK.

The VM is built by executing: vagrant up

The VM exposes several ports to the host machine to access several tools of the SONATA SDK:

• 5000 # dummy gatekeeper
• 5001 # REST API
• 8081 # cAdvisor
• 9090 # Prometheus
• 9091 # Prometheus push gateway
• 3000 # Grafana
• 8080 # Editor, browse to: http://localhost:8080/index.html
• The emulator has a dashboard at: http://localhost:5001/dashboard/index.html
• SSH login: user: sonata password: sonata at port 2222 ssh -X -p 2222 sonata@localhost

To use all features of son-emu and son-cli, the X server settings must be taken into account and X11 should be enabled when opening an SSH terminal to the VM. Further info about this is documented here

After startup, SSH into the VM as sonata user. The following SONATA repositories are installed in /home/sonata :

• son-emu
• son-editor
• son-cli
• son-examples

The son-editor should be started at boot and available when browsing to: http://localhost:8080/index.html

A dedicated GitHub account was made for this SONATA demo to login into the editor:
user: sonatademo
password: s0natademo

The son-emulator needs to be started up with a dedicated topology:

cd son-emu
sudo python src/emuvim/examples/demo_topo_1pop.py

After this step, an NSD from the editor can be uploaded to the emulator and the son-cli tools can be further used to manipulate the deployed service. Some deployment examples are described here.
