What is Fuel?

Fuel is a ready-to-install collection of all of the packages and scripts you need to create a robust, configurable, vendor-independant OpenStack cloud in your own environment.

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, all wrapped up using scripts to help you to work through a single installation rather than multiple smaller installations.

Simply put, Fuel is a way for you to easily configure and install an OpenStack-based infrastructure in your own environment.
