In this section, you’ll learn how to install OpenStack using Fuel and FuelWeb. In addition to getting a feel for the steps involved, you’ll also gain valuable familiarity with some of the customization options. While Fuel provides different deployment configuration templates in the box, it is common for administrators to modify the architecture to meet enterprise requirements. Working hands on with Fuel for OpenStack will help you see how to move certain features around from the standard installation.
The first step, however, is to commit to a deployment template. A balanced, compact, and full-featured deployment is the Multi-node (HA) Compact deployment, so that’s what we’ll be using through the rest of this guide.
Production installations require a physical hardware infrastructure, but you can easily deploy a small simulation cloud on a single physical machine using VirtualBox. You can follow these instructions to install an OpenStack cloud into a test environment using VirtualBox, or to get a production-grade installation using physical hardware.
