OpenStack Cluster Installer: the Debian way to deploy OpenStack
This talk will present you OCI (#OpenStack Cluster Installer). This is a software to provision an OpenStack clusters automatically on #Debian. The OCI package installs a provisioning machine, which uses the below components:
– a DHCP server (isc-dhcp-server)
– a PXE boot server (tftp-hpa)
– a web server (apache2)
– a puppet-master
Once computers in the cluster boot for the first time, a Debian live system is served by OCI over PXE, to act as a discovery image. This live system then reports the hardware features back to OCI. Computers can then be installed with Debian from that live system, configured with a puppet-agent that will connect to the puppet-master of OCI. After Debian is installed, the server reboots, and OpenStack services are provisioned, depending on the server role in the cluster.
OCI is fully packaged in Debian, including all of the Puppet modules.
