Automates the installation of Multi-Node OpenStack Cluster using DevStack

DevStack provides a set of scripts to install OpenStack on a Linux distribution in order to set up a private cloud infrastructure. However, the installation of a multi-node development environment requires some manual steps as described in the DevStack documentation.

How to Use

DevStack documentation recommend you to use a minimal fresh installation of Linux such as Ubuntu 16.04 Minimal CD. You’re encouraged to read the DevStack documentation to understand what is going on under the hood.

Install OpenStack Controller

After installing you Linux distribution you can just execute ./install.sh --controller that every dependency will be downloaded and installed. The process takes a lot of time and a summary is shown at the end. Just be patient.

Install OpenStack Node

For every physical machine (node) that you want to add to the cluster you have to open a terminal at such a machine and execute ./install.sh --node Controller-IP
