Description
===========
This repository contains documentation, roles, environments and data bags for deploying an OpenStack **Essex** reference architecture using Chef. This currently includes the 5 OpenStack core projects: Nova, Glance, Keystone, Swift and Horizon.
Please use this `essex` branch to get the latest stable release. The `master` branch will remain empty until work begins on the **Folsom** pre-release. After **Folsom** is branched in OpenStack, it will get its own `folsom` Git branch as well.
This will be a canonical source of documentation and there will be an additional `documentation` directory in the repository with more detailed instructions.
There is a Spiceweasel (http://bit.ly/spcwsl) manifest documenting all the community cookbooks (and their versions), roles, data bags and environments required to deploy OpenStack. The intention is to only depend on publicly available community versions of cookbooks so the openstack-chef-repo will not contain any cookbooks (it is possible we will temporarily keep patched versions waiting for upstream to publish). The manifest will also document a variety of deployment techniques for single-node, small and large deployments.
Cookbooks
=========
The cookbooks have been designed and written in such a way that they can be used to deploy individual service components on _any_ of the nodes in the infrastructure; in short they can be used for single node 'all-in-one' installs (for testing), right up to multi/many node production installs. In order to achieve this flexibility, they make use of the [chef search](http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Search) functionality, and therefore require that if you are deploying anything larger than a single node deployment, you use [chef server](http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Chef+Server) to host your cookbooks rather than using Chef Solo.
Each of the OpenStack services has its own cookbook and is available on the Chef Community site and on GitHub. Please refer to the `documentation` directory for more details on each.
