Overview¶
DevStack has evolved to support a large number of configuration options and alternative platforms and support services. That evolution has grown well beyond what was originally intended and the majority of configuration combinations are rarely, if ever, tested. DevStack is not a general OpenStack installer and was never meant to be everything to everyone.
Below is a list of what is specifically is supported (read that as “tested”) going forward.
Supported Components¶
Base OS¶
The OpenStack Technical Committee (TC) has defined the current CI strategy to include the latest Ubuntu release and the latest RHEL release.
Ubuntu: current LTS release plus current development release
RHEL/CentOS/RockyLinux: current major release
Other OS platforms may continue to be included but the maintenance of those platforms shall not be assumed simply due to their presence. Having a listed point-of-contact for each additional OS will greatly increase its chance of being well-maintained.
Patches for Ubuntu and/or RockyLinux will not be held up due to side-effects on other OS platforms.
Databases¶
As packaged by the host OS
MySQL
Queues¶
As packaged by the host OS
Rabbit
Web Server¶
As packaged by the host OS
Apache
OpenStack Network¶
Neutron: A basic configuration approximating the original FlatDHCP mode using linuxbridge or OpenVSwitch.
Services¶
The default services configured by DevStack are Identity (keystone), Object Storage (swift), Image Service (glance), Block Storage (cinder), Compute (nova), Placement (placement), Networking (neutron), Dashboard (horizon).
Additional services not included directly in DevStack can be tied in to
stack.sh using the plugin mechanism to call
scripts that perform the configuration and startup of the service.
Node Configurations¶
single node
multi-node configurations as are tested by the gate
