Ian Wienand 3bf69e835a Remove EC2 API from devstack 
This all started with an investigation into Fedora's use of ecua2ools
package.  This package is a bit of a nightmare because it pulls in a
lot of other system-python packages.

For Ubuntu, this package was removed in
I47b7e787771683c2fc4404e586f11c1a19aac15c.  However, it is not
actually a "pure python" package as described in that change, in that
it is not installable from pypi.  I can't see how you could actually
run exercises/euca.sh on Ubuntu unless you installed euca2ools by hand
-- ergo I suggest it is totally unused, because nobody seems to have
reported problems.

In the mean time, ec2 api has moved to a plugin [1] anyway where the
recommendation in their README is to use the aws cli from amazon.

Thus remove all the parts related to EC2 and ecua2ools from base
devstack.

Quick Start

  1. Select a Linux Distribution

    Only Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty), Fedora 22 (or Fedora 23) and CentOS/RHEL 7 are documented here. OpenStack also runs and is packaged on other flavors of Linux such as OpenSUSE and Debian.

  2. Install Selected OS

    In order to correctly install all the dependencies, we assume a specific minimal version of the supported distributions to make it as easy as possible. We recommend using a minimal install of Ubuntu or Fedora server in a VM if this is your first time.

  3. Download DevStack

    git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack

    The devstack repo contains a script that installs OpenStack and templates for configuration files

  4. Configure

    We recommend at least a minimal-configuration be set up.

  5. Add Stack User

    Devstack should be run as a non-root user with sudo enabled (standard logins to cloud images such as "ubuntu" or "cloud-user" are usually fine).

    You can quickly create a separate stack user to run DevStack with

    devstack/tools/create-stack-user.sh; su stack

  6. Start the install

    cd devstack; ./stack.sh

    It takes a few minutes, we recommend reading the script while it is building.

Guides

Walk through various setups used by stackers

guides/single-vm guides/single-machine guides/lxc guides/multinode-lab guides/neutron guides/devstack-with-nested-kvm guides/nova guides/devstack-with-lbaas-v2

All-In-One Single VM

Run OpenStack in a VM <guides/single-vm>. The VMs launched in your cloud will be slow as they are running in QEMU (emulation), but it is useful if you don't have spare hardware laying around. [Read] <guides/single-vm>

All-In-One Single Machine

Run OpenStack on dedicated hardware <guides/single-machine> This can include a server-class machine or a laptop at home. [Read] <guides/single-machine>

All-In-One LXC Container

Run OpenStack in a LXC container <guides/lxc>. Beneficial for intermediate and advanced users. The VMs launched in this cloud will be fully accelerated but not all OpenStack features are supported. [Read] <guides/lxc>

Multi-Node Lab

Setup a multi-node cluster <guides/multinode-lab> with dedicated VLANs for VMs & Management. [Read] <guides/multinode-lab>

DevStack with Neutron Networking

Building a DevStack cluster with Neutron Networking <guides/neutron>. This guide is meant for building lab environments with a dedicated control node and multiple compute nodes.

DevStack with KVM-based Nested Virtualization

Procedure to setup DevStack with KVM-based Nested Virtualization <guides/devstack-with-nested-kvm>. With this setup, Nova instances will be more performant than with plain QEMU emulation.
