How Fuel Works
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Fuel works on a simple premise. Rather than installing each of the
|
|
components that make up OpenStack directly, you instead use a configuration
|
|
management system like Puppet to create scripts that can provide a
|
|
configurable, reproducible, sharable installation process.
|
|
|
|
In practice, Fuel works as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. First, set up Fuel Master Node using the ISO. This process only needs to
|
|
be completed once per installation.
|
|
|
|
2. Next, discover your virtual or physical nodes and configure your
|
|
OpenStack cluster using the Fuel UI.
|
|
|
|
3. Finally, deploy your OpenStack cluster on discovered nodes. Fuel will
|
|
perform all deployment magic for you by applying pre-configured and
|
|
pre-integrated Puppet manifests via Astute orchestration engine.
|
|
|
|
Fuel is designed to enable you to maintain your cluster while giving you the
|
|
flexibility to adapt it to your own configuration.

|
Fuel comes with several pre-defined deployment configurations, some of them
|
|
include additional configuration options that allow you to adapt OpenStack
|
|
deployment to your environment.
|
|
|
|
Fuel UI integrates all of the deployments scripts into a unified,
|
|
Web-based Graphical User Interface that walks administrators through the
|
|
process of installing and configuring a fully functional OpenStack environment.
