operating systems, OpenStack distributions (if applicable),

where significant savings may be made in situations where one site is

a cold standby for disaster recovery purposes only.

|

* Certain locations might require local vendors to provide support and

services for each site which may vary with the licensing agreement in

place.

Any given cloud deployment is expected to include these base services:
|
||||
|
||||
* Compute
|
||||
|
||||
* Networking
|
||||
|
||||
* Storage
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these services have different software and hardware resource
|
||||
requirements.
|
||||
As a result, you must make design decisions relating directly
|
||||
to the service, as well as provide a balanced infrastructure for all services.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many ways to split out an OpenStack deployment, but a two box
|
||||
deployment typically consists of:
|
||||
|
||||
* A controller node
|
||||
* A compute node
|
||||
|
||||
The controller node will typically host:
|
||||
|
||||
* Identity service (for authentication)
|
||||
* Image service (for image storage)
|
||||
* Block Storage
|
||||
* Networking service (the ``nova-network`` service may be used instead)
|
||||
* Compute service API, conductor, and scheduling services
|
||||
* Supporting services like the message broker (RabbitMQ)
|
||||
and database (MySQL or PostgreSQL)
|
||||
|
||||
The compute node will typically host:
|
||||
|
||||
* Nova compute
|
||||
* A networking agent, if using OpenStack Networking
|
||||
|
||||
To provide additional block storage in a small environment, you may also
|
||||
choose to deploy ``cinder-volume`` on the compute node.
|
||||
You may also choose to run ``nova-compute`` on the controller itself to
|
||||
allow you to run virtual machines on both hosts in a small environments.
|
||||
|
||||
To expand such an environment you would add additional compute nodes,
|
||||
a separate networking node, and eventually a second controller for high
|
||||
availability. You might also split out storage to dedicated nodes.
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenStack Installation guides provide some guidance on getting a basic
|
||||
2-3 node deployment installed and running:
