It begins by describing some basic features of OpenStack and describing how to set them up for an OpenStack deployment. It continues by providing the installation steps and demonstrating how to use several features on the network and storage stacks.
For simplicity, a small configuration has been chosen for examples. The example configuration includes a controller node, and multiple compute nodes. While it is possible to configure OpenStack in various ways with the tools described in this guide, the discussion is limited to a simplified configuration, allowing you to discover the possibilities of running Oracle Linux with OpenStack.
OpenStack has a rich feature set and various services. After going through this guide, you should have a good foundation from which to learn more about the different OpenStack features and experiment with them in the environment you create.
