Accessing the Undercloud

When your deployment is complete, you will find a file named ssh.config.ansible located inside your local_working_dir (which defaults to $HOME/.quickstart). This file contains configuration settings for ssh to make it easier to connect to the undercloud host. You use it like this:

ssh -F $HOME/.quickstart/ssh.config.ansible undercloud

This will connect you to the undercloud host as the stack user:

[stack@undercloud ~]$

Once logged in to the undercloud, you can source the stackrc file if you want to access undercloud services:

[stack@undercloud ~]$ . stackrc
[stack@undercloud ~]$ heat stack-list
+----------...+------------+-----------------+---------------------+--------------+
| id       ...| stack_name | stack_status    | creation_time       | updated_time |
+----------...+------------+-----------------+---------------------+--------------+
| 988ad9c3-...| overcloud  | CREATE_COMPLETE | 2016-03-21T14:32:21 | None         |
+----------...+------------+-----------------+---------------------+--------------+

And you can source the overcloudrc file if you want to interact with the overcloud:

[stack@undercloud ~]$ . overcloudrc
[stack@undercloud ~]$ nova service-list
+----+------------------+-------------------------------------+----------+-...
| Id | Binary           | Host                                | Zone     | ...
