The OpenStack system consists of several key projects that you install separately. These projects work together depending on your cloud needs. These projects include Compute, Identity Service, Networking, Image Service, Block Storage, Object Storage, Telemetry, Orchestration, and Database. You can install any of these projects separately and configure them stand-alone or as connected entities.
This guide shows you how to install OpenStack by using packages available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and its derivatives through the EPEL repository.
Explanations of configuration options and sample configuration files are included.
