Getting Started

See Getting started with OpenStack Nova, Getting started with OpenStack on Fedora 17 or Getting started with OpenStack EPEL for details on how to try out the OpenStack packages.

Preview repository

OpenStack has a preview repository, allowing Fedora N-1 users to try out OpenStack packages from the latest Fedora release etc. This is similar to the Virtualization Preview Repository.

Preview packages, may be installed from the side repository using yum after downloading the appropriate .repo file to /etc/yum.repos.d

Test days

Fedora OpenStack test days are very useful both to test new packages and as a quick way to get up to speed on the various OpenStack components.
