Murano Deployment Notes
==================================
.. contents :local:
Overview
--------
Fuel can deploy OpenStack and set up Murano, an open source project designed
to enable Windows virtual machines in OpenStack. Some highlights of Murano
features include:
* Native to OpenStack
* Introduction of abstraction level for Windows Environments
* Support for Availability Zones and Disaster Recovery scenarios
* Use of native Windows features to provide HA solutions
Considerations
--------------
Because Microsoft Windows and other necessary components can only be obtained
directly from Microsoft, Murano is still to some degree a do-it-yourself
project. Fuel is able to configure Murano's dashboard, API, and conductor
services, but you will need to read documention on the steps to set up a
Windows base image. Images can be uploaded via Glance. For information about
creating a Windows image, see `Build Windows Image
<http://murano-docs.github.io/0.2.11/getting-started/content/ch03s03.html>`_.
.. _Installation_Steps:
Murano is installed in Fuel simply by checking the appropriate check box when
configuring your environment. Murano is supported in CentOS and Ubuntu.
.. _Murano_Components:
Murano Components
-----------------
Dashboard
+++++++++
Murano Dashboard can be reached after Fuel deployment as a link within Horizon
Dashboard. You may use the same credentials to log into Murano as you use for
Horizon (via Keystone). From the Murano Dashboard you can deploy configured
Windows images.
Murano API
++++++++++
The Murano API provides the ability manage Windows Services. For further
reading, refer to `Murano API Specification
<http://murano.mirantis.com/content/ch04.html>`_
Conductor
+++++++++
Conductor is the Murano orchestration engine that transformes objects sent by
REST API service (such as Dashboard) into a series of Heat and Murano API
commands.
