<para>This install guide offers a few of the many ways to install
|
|
OpenStack components and have them work together. It is meant as a
|
|
"choose your own adventure" guide, not a comprehensive guide. The
|
|
<citetitle>OpenStack Configuration Reference</citetitle> lists
|
|
every option in all OpenStack services. Before you begin an
|
|
installation adventure, here are some things you should know about
|
|
OpenStack concepts.</para>

<para>This guide enables you to choose your own OpenStack
|
|
adventure. OpenStack is highly configurable to meet different
|
|
needs with various compute, networking, and storage options.</para>
|
|
<para>This guide uses the following example architectures:</para>

<para>The controller node runs the Identity Service, Image Service,

<para>The compute node runs the hypervisor portion of Compute,

which operates tenant virtual machines. By default, Compute uses

KVM as the hypervisor. Compute also provisions and operates
|

tenant networks and implements security groups. You can run more
|
|
than one compute node.</para>
