Verifying your cloud deployment

This is a draft cloud verification page for the proposed OpenStack-Ansible operations guide.

Verifying your OpenStack-Ansible operation

This chapter goes through the verification steps for a basic operation of the OpenStack API and dashboard.

Note

The utility container provides a CLI environment for additional configuration and testing.

1. Determine the utility container name:

   $ lxc-ls | grep utility
   infra1_utility_container-161a4084

2. Access the utility container:

   $ lxc-attach -n infra1_utility_container-161a4084

3. Source the admin tenant credentials:

   # source openrc

4. Run an OpenStack command that uses one or more APIs. For example:

   # openstack user list --domain default

5. With a web browser, access the Dashboard using the external load balancer IP address. This is defined by the external_lb_vip_address option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml file. The dashboard uses HTTPS on port 443.

6. Authenticate using the username admin and password defined by the keystone_auth_admin_password option in the /etc/openstack_deploy/user_secrets.yml file.
