Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux is supported on Oracle Linux (for all node types) and
Oracle VM Server (as compute nodes only). Information on the supported
hardware is available in the Hardware Certification List
for Oracle Linux and Oracle VM at:
http://linux.oracle.com/hardware-certifications
The storage hardware you use should be included in the hardware
list. Oracle is working with its partners to make sure customers
have a choice of storage. For specific storage plug-ins, contact
Oracle or the plug-in vendor.
You can download Oracle Linux and Oracle VM Server from the Oracle Software Delivery
Cloud at:

In addition to the OpenStack nodes, Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux requires a node
to host a Docker registry and
a node (known as a master node)
from which you deploy OpenStack services using the
kollacli command. Typically these are hosted on a
controller node, but you can host these on separate nodes if you
prefer. The following are the minimum requirements for separate
nodes:
