<title>Installing OpenStack Walk-through</title>
<para>The OpenStack Compute and Image services work together to
provide access to virtual servers and images through REST
APIs. The Identity Service provides a common authorization
layer for all OpenStack services. You must use the Identity
Service to install the OpenStack Dashboard, which offers a
web-based user interface for OpenStack components. The
OpenStack Object Storage service provides not only a storage
method for virtual images but also a cloud-based object
storage system with a REST API to store and retrieve objects
such as images or videos. This walk-through starts with
Compute and related services and we will add Object Storage at
a later date.</para>
<para>This installation walk-through goes through a very specific
path for installing OpenStack on Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 with
root access and specific configuration settings using MySQL
for related databases. Here are the overall steps:</para>
