How to Manage OpenStack Private Clouds Episode 2 – How to Launch Compute Instances
OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform that enables you to build your very own private cloud that is completely under your control. You can use it to spin up compute instances, set up block and object storage, load balancers, software-defined networking, and more. In this six-part guide, Jay will guide you through the finer points of OpenStack with hands-on examples. In the second episode, we’ll explore the process of creating compute instances.

This was an awesome video. Thank you. But I have queries. Do we can attach volumes while launching instances? I mean just launch the instance and open it we have vda, vdb, vdc, etc.
Could you please inform me what video editor you used for publishing this clip?
Excellent explanation. Thanks
Great tutorial. So good explained, and on point. Good work.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I installed openstack using devstack on a proxmox virtual machine. The devstack installation gave me a private network, a public network and a router. There was no external network provided. The public network was default values that don't correspond to my internal home network. I tried to create an external public network using my home network values. While I can ping the nodes from within those allocated when I created the external network, I cannot generally ping the instances from within my home network. Is there a tutorial on how to create what is the equivalent of the external network in Jay's video so I can do updates to the instances and ssh into them from my home network?
Excellent instruction. Nonetheless, the emphasis was on Linux users.
This was an ewasome video, thank you very much, I completely understood everythin !
Nice info!
Great Job Jay, This was an Awesome video. I appreciate you very much.
What distro linux do you use ?
Just a quick note: GitLab has documentation on how to run an instance on memory constrained systems. If you don't need to take care of 500+ users then it only takes up about 2.5 GB RAM and 2-3 cores.
Very good so far! Lots of good info!
Horizon is a turn-off for me. Pl take a look a skyline
Do you actually plan some videos about how to effectively use GPG built in packages to encrypt files or directories on local SSD or on removable USB memory devices.
Eventually you can show off some other valid handy alternatives to do the job?
Maybe I missed it but are you going to talk about building your own Nova nodes?
But openmetal is not private
Where about the installation process?
