How to install Openstack Newton
For this tutorial, we will be installing Openstack Newton on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial). You can use the same tutorial also on Debian 8 (Jessie) but this will install Openstack Mitaka
Prerequisites
To complete this tutorial, you'll need the following:
- 1 controller node
- 1 compute node
Hardware requirements
According to the Openstack Documentation, to run several CicrOS instances you will need:
- Controller Node: 1 processor, 4 GB memory, and 5 GB storage
- Compute Node: 1 processor, 2 GB memory, and 10 GB storage
This this tutorial I am using:
Controller Node: 2 processors, 16 GB memory, 2x250GB disks in a Raid1 configuration and 2 NIC's (eno1 and eno2) Compute Node: 2 processors, 16 GB memory, 2x350GB disks in a Raid1 configuration and 2 NIC's (eno1 and eno2)
Your environment doesn't have to have 2 disks in Raid1 configuration, 1 disk will be okay.
