Creating tenants in Keystone
A tenant in OpenStack is a project, and the two terms are generally used interchangeably. Users can't be created without having a tenant assigned to them, so these must be created first. For this section, we will create a tenant called cookbook for our users.
Getting ready
We will be using the keystone client to operate Keystone. If the python-keystoneclient tool isn't available, follow the steps described at http://bit.ly/OpenStackCookbookClientInstall.
Ensure that we have our environment set correctly to access our OpenStack environment for administrative purposes:
export OS_TENANT_NAME=cookbook export OS_USERNAME=admin export OS_PASSWORD=openstack export OS_AUTH_URL=https://192.168.100.200:5000/v2.0/ export OS_NO_CACHE=1 ...
