Let's use the magic puppet forge to control it all!http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/openstack


Hey, I found a secret map, what is it?


I know, I've seen it.It's OpenStack architecture

description!

I recall it's all documented here:

http://docs.openstack.org

Along with all the installation, operational and API documentation.

http://docs.openstack.org/


Go check the OpenStack pages

● Plenty of documentation● Community page lists different ways to get involved● All blueprints and decisions are open

● There is plenty of projects to get hacking in different areas of cloud


Several ways to install

● Development installations for the cloud● $ git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git● $ cd devstack; ./stack.sh

● The Red Hat family way● $ sudo yum install -y openstack-packstack● $ sudo yum install -y http://rdo.fedorapeople.org/rdo-release.rpm

● All major OS install instructions are in the openstack docs

● Check puppet for openstack!● https://github.com/stackforge/puppet-openstack

https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git



About anything in the cloud can be controlled via APIs



Yes! That means I can script about everything in the cloud!

I've been training the beasts at Puppet Forge, feeding them with Chef recipes and using cloud-init to multiply them!
