Want to deploy Openstack and experience your own cloud platform the easier way? One way is to install Openstack via RDO Packstack*.
*Packstack is a utility that uses Puppet modules to deploy various parts of OpenStack . It is suitable for deploying both single node proof of concept or more complex multi node installations.
Components used and tested in:
CentOS 7 Linux 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64
Openstack Packstack (latest stable release, Pike)
Advisable to stop firewalld, NetworkManager and enable network
#service firewalld stop
#chkconfig firewalld off
#service NetworkManager stop
#chkconfig NetworkManager off
#service network start
#chkconfig network on
Sample Output:
[root@freelinux vinyard]# service firewalld stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop firewalld.service
[root@freelinux vinyard]# chkconfig firewalld off
Note: Forwarding request to ‘systemctl disable firewalld.service’.
[root@freelinux vinyard]# service NetworkManager stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
[root@freelinux vinyard]# chkconfig NetworkManager off
Note: Forwarding request to ‘systemctl disable NetworkManager.service’.
[root@freelinux vinyard]# service network start
Starting network (via systemctl): [ OK ]
[root@freelinux vinyard]# chkconfig network on
1. Enable repository in CentOS (latest stable release as of this writing is Pike)
# yum install -y centos-release-openstack-pike
Sample Output:
[root@freelinux ~]# yum install -y centos-release-openstack-pike
