OpenStack

OpenStack consists of a number services for running IaaS clouds. They are the Object Store (Swift), Compute (Nova) and Image (Glance) services.

This page tracks Fedora Cloud SIG's effort to include OpenStack packages in Fedora.

A yum repository with Fedora 16 test packages for Nova and Glance is available here

See Getting started with OpenStack Nova for details on how to try out the packages from this repo.

Some longer term TODO items which can be tracked in bugzilla after the package has been included:

Get this patch merged upstream
Add tmpfiles.d configuration
Switch from sysvinit scripts to systemd units
SELinux policy
Make Nova add the appropriate iptables rules so that it works with Fedora's default firewall configuration
Figure out what to do about ajaxterm - can we use the system version?
no-manual-page-for-binary warnings - file bug upstream
Figure out a real fix for sphinx-build segfault
Build minimal Fedora images for people to use when testing Nova

python-nova-adminclient - a Python library for Nova's admin API
noVNC - a HTML5 VNC client
openstack-dashboard - self service web UI for OpenStack
openstack-melange - network information service (will be part of openstack-nova?)
openstack-quantum - network connectivity service
openstack-reddwarf - database as a service (will be part of openstack-nova?
openstack-keystone - identity service
openstack-burrow - message queue

It may be be useful to compare OpenStack's packaging on other distributions. See the OpenStack Packaging wiki
