When you install the archive, all of the essential OpenStack services are installed and preconfigured on the system and ready for use. You can create virtual machines (VMs), also called Nova instances, to which you can assign block storage. You can attach these VMs to virtual networks, and then manage the VMs by using a web browser interface.
The OpenStack Unified Archive has the following features:
OpenStack services that are mostly preconfigured, which decreases the amount of configuration work that you need to perform.
Scripts that automate additional configuration that needs to be performed.
Oracle Solaris system templates.
A Glance image store preloaded with two images: a non-global zone and a kernel zone.
