OpenStack Folsom Quantum Devstack Installation Tutorial. This is a quick guide that includes a diagram of a working reference architecture for installation of the OpenStack Folsom release using which includes the Quantum networking component using the DevStack installation bash script.
With the OpenStack Essex release, I was writing installers with Python for Linux bridging and the Quantum plugin. So far the OpenStack Folsom install is more complex due to the added options mainly from the Quantum networking plugin. A big feature of Quantum out of the box using this build with OpenvSwitch is it adds features such as layer2 multi-tenancy for path isolation with GRE tunnels and/or Vlan IDs.
This tutorial will install the packages as listed under Folsom below. Trying to keep the Python installer up to date is too much maintenance for me so switching to DevStack for people who get paid to do it. Networking - What is the correct network configuration for a devStack VM (virtualbox) OpenStack Essex Scripted Installation on Ubuntu 12.04. Update: My latest installation document for Folsom can be found here.
It’s too tough to try and keep up with debugging installers myself so I am just using DevStack in that tutorial. Thanks! Here is a two-parter on how to bring up an OpenStack build on VirtualBox. A screencast is accompanying the two sections. I live in networks, so if you see me do so all bad practice in scripting and systems configs it should be expected. Keep in mind this is just VMs on a laptop. The current trends are collaborative, inclusive, and community driven initiatives, and the overarching economic incentive to the vendors is as much defensive. Part 1 is a scripted install and how to spin up a couple of compute nodes.Part 2 is what do I do with it after I have some nodes provisioned. Please enter the url to a YouTube video. Part 1 video of the install and provisioning:Nova: Nova is the guts of the Orchestration. The images use the EC2 repository for distributions and it seems to get out of sync. Installing OpenStack Essex (2012.1) on Ubuntu 12.04 ("Precise Pangolin")
Thomas Spycher. Till now, i was only able to deploy some vm’s on my MacMini Server with VMware Fusion on it.
This worked oukay so far… Due to the mac mini is reaching its second birthday, it does not power vm’s very well. Also to keep the vm powered on, i need always stay logged in with the user and of course the management is only possible trough vnc directly on the server. That was the reason for me to rent some virtual machines by rackspacecloud.com. Seriously, rackspacecloud is impressive! But keeping two or more vm’s up and running for more than a month is a really expensive playground!

Experimenting with OpenStack Essex on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS under VirtualBox. The best way to get an insight into OpenStack is playing with a live installation, but OpenStack's simplest configuration requires 2 network interfaces, e.g. 2 machines, each equipped with 2 network cards and an additional ethernet hub.
Using VirtualBox we can set up a full OpenStack installation on a single laptop or desktop. This approach is very appealing and there's a number of guides that describe it. This guide is a compilation of those sources (credited below) with the neccessary updates and fixes. OpenStack is evolving fast and the recent release, Essex, came out by the end of April 2012 - at about the same time Ubuntu released 12.04 LTS “Precise Pangolin” (LTS stands for Long Term Support).
OpenStack's development is mostly carried out on Ubuntu so this is the easiest platform to get it running on. We will install VirtualBox on whatever host OS you have (provided it runs VirtualBox, even Windows). Host PC The host OS can be any Linux, windows, Mac supporting VirtualBox.
