What Is Fuel™?

Fuel™ is the ultimate OpenStack Do-it-Yourself Kit. Purpose built to assimilate the hard-won experience of our services team, it contains the tooling, information, and support you need to accelerate time to production with OpenStack cloud. Fuel is designed to work with Puppet configuration management software, using Cobbler for bare metal provisioning.

Fuel automates provisioning and deployment of all core OpenStack components including Nova, Glance, Horizon, Swift, Keystone, Neutron (formerly Quantum) and Cinder, as well as key open source packages for components required to support High Availability deployment configurations, such as Galera, Pacemaker, Corosync, and HAProxy.

To help make the most of your time and resources, and to help tame the risk and complexity of managing dynamic OpenStack environments, Fuel features a streamlined, graphical console. Its intuitive interface controls deployment and provisioning of your OpenStack cloud, providing a point-and-click experience for the most commonly deployed configurations. If you are familiar with tools like Cobbler and Puppet and want maximum flexibility in your deployment, the command-line capabilities of the Fuel Library can also be used for automated deployment and configuration of your OpenStack infrastructure.

How To Obtain The Product

Fuel is distributed as a self-contained ISO that, once downloaded, does not require Internet access to provision OpenStack nodes. This ISO is available in the Fuel Download section of the Fuel Portal.

Here you will also find the Oracle VirtualBox scripts to enable quick and easy deployment of a multi-node OpenStack cloud for evaluation purposes. Note that you will need to opt-in to the Mirantis portal to access the downloadable files, which is free of charge.
