Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux is supported on Oracle Linux (for all node types) and
Oracle VM Server (as compute and storage 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:

The following table lists the minimum system requirements for each
OpenStack node type. In addition to the OpenStack nodes,
Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Linux requires a node (known as a
master node) from which you
deploy OpenStack services using the kollacli
command. Typically you use a controller node as the master node, but
you can use a separate node if you prefer.
