Project for building out OpenStack COE.

Installing dependencies

This setup requires that a few additional dependencies are installed:

• virtualbox
• vagrant (see below)

Developer instructions

Developers should be started by installing the following simple utility: (I will eventually just have it bundled as a gem)

mkdir vendor
export GEM_HOME=`pwd`/vendor
gem install vagrant
gem install thor --no-ri --no-rdoc
git clone git://github.com/bodepd/librarian-puppet-simple vendor/librarian-puppet-simple
export PATH=`pwd`/vendor/librarian-puppet-simple/bin/:$PATH

Once this library is installed, you can run the following command from this project's root directory (you only need to do this once, or you need to delete the modules in the modules/ directory):

librarian-puppet install --verbose

Add the basebox (only need to do this once as well)

vagrant box add blank blank.box

This command will clone all required modules into the modules directory.

Spinning up virtual machines with vagrant

Now that you have set up the puppet content, the next step is to build out your multi-node environment using vagrant.

First, deploy the apt-ng-cacher instance:

vagrant up cache

Next, bring up the build server:

vagrant up build

Now, bring up the blank boxes so that they can PXE boot against the master

vagrant up control_pxe

vagrant up compute_pxe

Now, you have created a fully functional openstack environment, now have a look at some services:

• service dashboard: http://192.168.242.100/
• horizon: http://192.168.242.10/ (username: admin, password: Cisco123)

Log into your controller at: ssh localadmin@192.168.242.10 (password ubuntu)

and run through the 'Deploy Your First VM' section of this document:
