Apache Storm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Apache Storm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Apache Storm is a distributed real-time stream-processing engine that reliably processes high-velocity, unbounded data streams with millisecond latency. This image is built and maintained by cloudimg on a hardened, fully patched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.

### What's included

• Apache Storm (Nimbus, Supervisor, UI) with a local ZooKeeper on OpenJDK 17, managed by systemd
• The Storm UI on port 80, protected by HTTP Basic authentication; cluster ports firewalled to loopback
• A unique admin password generated on first boot (no shared default credential)
• The bundled WordCount topology submitted on first boot so the UI shows a live topology
• Storm state on a dedicated managed data disk
• Automatic security updates enabled

### Getting started

Retrieve the generated password with `sudo cat /root/storm-credentials.txt`, then open the Storm UI at the VM's public IP to monitor topologies. Submit your own with `storm jar .jar`. The deployment guide on cloudimg.co.uk covers topology deployment and day-2 operations.
