Chapter 2. Installing OpenStack

Installing, configuring, and maintaining OpenStack clouds can be an arduous task when performed by hand. Many third-party vendors offer downloadable cloud software based on OpenStack that provide deployment and management strategies using Chef, Puppet, Fuel, Ansible, and other tools.

This chapter will step you through a package-based installation of the following OpenStack components on the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS operating system:

  • OpenStack Identity (Keystone)
  • OpenStack Image Service (Glance)
  • OpenStack Compute (Nova)
  • OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder)
  • OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon)

Note

The installation process documented within this chapter is based on the OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 14.04 found at http://docs.openstack.org/ ...
