Q: Why a shell script, why not chef/puppet/...
A: The script is meant to be read by humans (as well as ran by computers); it is the primary documentation after all. Using a recipe system requires everyone to agree and understand chef or puppet.

Q: Why not use Crowbar?
A: DevStack is optimized for documentation & developers. As some of us use Crowbar for production deployments, we hope developers documenting how they setup systems for new features supports projects like Crowbar.

A: That isn't a question, but please do! The source for DevStack is github and bug reports go to LaunchPad. Contributions follow the usual process as described in the OpenStack wiki even though DevStack is not an official OpenStack project. This site is housed in the CloudBuilder's github in the gh-pages branch.

Q: Why not use packages?
A: Unlike packages, DevStack leaves your cloud ready to develop - checkouts of the code and services running in screen. However, many people are doing the hard work of packaging and recipes for production deployments. We hope this script serves as a way to communicate configuration changes between developers and packagers.

Q: Why isn't $MY_FAVORITE_DISTRO supported?
A: DevStack is meant for developers and those who want to see how OpenStack really works. DevStack is known to run on the distro/release combinations listed in README.md. DevStack is only supported on releases other than those documented in README.md on a best-effort basis.

Q: Can DevStack handle a multi-node installation?
A: Indirectly, yes. You run DevStack on each node with the appropriate configuration in local.conf. The primary considerations are turning off the services not required on the secondary nodes, making sure the passwords match and setting the various API URLs to the right place.

Q: How can I document the environment that DevStack is using?
A: DevStack includes a script (tools/info.sh) that gathers the versions of the relevant installed apt packages, pip packages and git repos. This is a good way to verify what Python modules are installed.
