The OpenStack project is an open source cloud computing platform that supports all types of cloud environments. The project aims for simple implementation, massive scalability, and a rich set of features. Cloud computing experts from around the world contribute to the project. OpenStack provides an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution through a variety of complemental services. Each service offers an application programming interface (API) that facilitates this integration.
#Installation Guide : Open-Stack does not require a significant amount of resources and the following minimum requirements should support a proof-of-concept environment with core services and several instances:
• Controller Node: 1 processor, 2 GB memory, and 8 GB storage
• Network Node: 1 processor, 512 MB memory, and 8 GB storage
• Compute Node: 1 processor, 2 GB memory, and 10 GB storage
To minimize clutter and provide more resources for OpenStack, a minimal installation of your Linux distribution is recommended. I chose Ubuntu. Secondly, every command is run as root unless stated otherwise.
Do not try my guide in production. I am not making any promises. I suggest you test it first. A contribution is expected if you find anomalies and errors. Thank you.
