Preface¶
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.
This guide documents the installation of OpenStack starting with the Pike release. It covers multiple releases.
