Abstract
~~~~~~~~
The OpenStack system consists of several key services that are separately
installed. These services work together depending on your cloud
needs and include the Compute, Identity, Networking, Image, Block Storage,
Object Storage, Telemetry, Orchestration, and Database services. You
can install any of these projects separately and configure them stand-alone
or as connected entities.
Explanations of configuration options and sample configuration files
are included.
.. note::
The Training Labs scripts provide an automated way of deploying the
cluster described in this Installation Guide into VirtualBox or KVM
VMs. You will need a desktop computer or a laptop with at least 8
GB memory and 20 GB free storage running Linux, MaOS, or Windows.
Please see the
`OpenStack Training Labs <https://docs.openstack.org/training_labs/>`_.
This guide documents the OpenStack Pike release.
