Deployment Configurations

Deployment Configurations Provided By Fuel

One of the advantages of Fuel is that it comes with a number of pre-built deployment configurations that you can use to quickly build your own OpenStack cloud infrastructure. These are well-specified configurations of OpenStack and its constituent components that are expertly tailored to one or more common cloud use cases. Fuel provides the ability to create the following cluster types without requiring extensive customization:

Simple (non-HA): The Simple (non-HA) installation provides an easy way to install an entire OpenStack cluster without requiring the degree of increased hardware involved in ensuring high availability.

Multi-node (HA): When you're ready to begin your move to production, the Multi-node (HA) configuration is a straightforward way to create an OpenStack cluster that provides high availability. With three controller nodes and the ability to individually specify services such as Cinder, Neutron (formerly Quantum), and Swift, Fuel provides the following variations of the Multi-node (HA) configurations:

Compact HA: When you choose this option, Swift will be installed on your controllers, reducing your hardware requirements by eliminating the need for additional Swift servers while still addressing high availability requirements.

Full HA: This option enables you to install independent Swift and Proxy nodes, so that you can separate their operation from your controller nodes.

In addition to these configurations, Fuel is designed to be completely customizable. For assistance on deeper customization options based on the included configurations you can contact Mirantis for further assistance.
