What is Fuel?
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Fuel is a ready-to-install collection of the packages and scripts you need
|
|
to create a robust, configurable, vendor-independent OpenStack cloud in your
|
|
own environment. As of Fuel 3.1, Fuel Library and Fuel Web have been merged
|
|
into a single toolbox with options to use the UI or CLI for management.
|
|
|
|
A single OpenStack cloud consists of packages from many different open source
|
|
projects, each with its own requirements, installation procedures, and
|
|
configuration management. Fuel brings all of these projects together into a
|
|
single open source distribution, with components that have been tested and are
|
|
guaranteed to work together, and all wrapped up using scripts to help you work
|
|
through a single installation.
|
|
|
|
Simply put, Fuel is a way for you to easily configure and install an
|
|
OpenStack-based infrastructure in your own environment.
