The goal for this set of cookbooks is to provide a set of roles and cookbooks to deploy OpenStack Compute, Object Storage and Image Registry and Delivery Service (Nova, Swift and Glance respectively) with Chef.
This Chef repository was forked from Anso Labs' OpenStack-Cookbooks (https://github.com/ansolabs/openstack-cookbooks) shortly after "bexar" was released (it is no longer actively tracking that repository). It is intended for deploying the stable releases and currently supports "Cactus", other releases will be supported as they become available.
Written and tested with Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 and Chef 0.10 and later.
You can use the command rake roles to upload all the roles provided.
In order to manage configuration of our OpenStack cloud, we will use the openstack data bag. You will need to configure each of the following items and load them into the openstack data bag when ready.
% knife data bag create openstack
% knife data bag from file openstack data_bags/openstack/glance.json
% knife data bag from file openstack data_bags/openstack/images.json
% knife data bag from file openstack data_bags/openstack/nova.json
conversely you can also just use
% rake databag:upload_all
The nova item for the openstack data bag contains the settings for configuring Nova.
The glance item for the openstack data bag contains the settings for configuring Glance.
The images item for the openstack data bag contains the locations, contents and metadata of the various AMIs to load into the system to make available for Nova. Good places to go for AMIs include https://uec-images.ubuntu.com and http://www.eucalyptussoftware.com/downloads/eucalyptus-images/list.php. You may want to copy these to a local site for future deployments.
The file infrastructure.yml may be used with the http://bit.ly/spcwsl command to generate the knife commands to download and install the cookbooks and upload the roles.
