In case you're not on the various CentOS mailing lists: If you're coming to FOSDEM in a few weeks, you should make time to come to the CentOS Dojo on Friday, where there will be, among other great content, the following: OpenStack Quickstart with RDO on CentOS :: Haïkel Guemar CentOS Linux 7 is a great platform for running OpenStack and in this two hour session we will introduce the basics of OpenStack and run through a demo of installing !RDO ( http://openstack.redhat.com ) on CentOS Linux 7. The session will run in a tutorial format, so everyone with a laptop in the audience will be able to join and implement their own OpenStack in a VM. The focus will be on ensuring everyone has a basic setup, to include: Nova : The OpenStack Compute platform Glance : The OpenStack image delivery service Keystone : The OpenStack identity and authentication service Horizon : The OpenStack Web based management interface We will finish the session with a 15 min speaker session on how to get involved with RDO development, packaging and testing and what the CentOS Cloud SIG is doing in this area. In order to run the tutorial on your machine, we recommend a VM on your laptop that has 20GB+ of disk space, 2GB of ram and atleast 1 dedicated cpu core. If your laptop has the ability to run nested-virt, please enable that and use it. It will make a large difference to performance of the overall setup. We would also like to request everyone to setup these VMs ahead of time, in either KVM or Xen or any other virtualisation technology you might use. A basic CentOS-7 minimal install is sufficient to start from.
