Rather than recommending users to download pre-built Ubuntu images in [[Getting_started_with_nova]], we should have a set of official Fedora images like [[Cloud_SIG/EC2_images]]. These should be built using similar process to the EC2 images.

OpenStack

OpenStack consists of a number services for running IaaS clouds. They are the Object Store (Swift), Compute (Nova) and Image (Glance) services.

This page tracks Fedora Cloud SIG's effort to include OpenStack packages in Fedora.

Getting Started

See Getting started with OpenStack Nova for details on how to try out the OpenStack packages on Fedora 16.

Images

Rather than recommending users to download pre-built Ubuntu images in Getting_started_with_nova, we should have a set of official Fedora images like Cloud_SIG/EC2_images. These should be built using similar process to the EC2 images.

For now, we can suggest users build Fedora images using Oz. These images suffer from not the fact that Nova can't inject SSH keys into LVM based images.

To Package

  1. python-nova-adminclient - a Python library for Nova's admin API
  2. noVNC - a HTML5 VNC client
  3. openstack-dashboard - self service web UI for OpenStack
  4. openstack-melange - network information service (will be part of openstack-nova?)
  5. openstack-quantum - network connectivity service
  6. openstack-reddwarf - database as a service (will be part of openstack-nova?
  7. openstack-keystone - identity service
  8. openstack-burrow - message queue
  9. crowbar - OpenStack deployment service and chef wrapper

Notes

OpenStack in EPEL

All of the packages require python-sphinx. These all need at least this adjustment for EL6:

-BuildRequires:    python-sphinx
+%{?fedora:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx >= 1.0}
+%{?el6:BuildRequires:    python-sphinx10}

and to use sphinx-1.0-build instead of sphinx-build.

Packages in EPEL

  • openstack-swift

Packages needing to be added to EPEL

  • openstack-glance (fixed in git, needs build)
  • python-novaclient (fixed in git, needs build)
  • openstack-nova
    • needs python-distutils-extra >= 2.18, branched by fab 2011/08/30, building "soon".
    • needs bpython not yet in epel (fedora maintainer is not participating in epel, requests an epel maintainer take it please)
