OpenStack
OpenStack consists of a number services for running IaaS clouds. This includes Object Store (Swift), Compute (Nova) and Image (Glance) services, among others.
The Diablo release of OpenStack was included Fedora 16. The Essex release is included in Fedora 17. The Folsom release is included in Fedora 18.
This page tracks Fedora Cloud SIG's effort to maintain OpenStack in Fedora. See our periodic status reports for an insight into what's been happening.
Getting Started
See Getting started with OpenStack Nova 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. This is similar to the Virtualization Preview Repository.
Preview packages, currently OpenStack Folsom, may be installed using yum after performing the following step:
$> cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ $> wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-folsom/fedora-openstack-folsom.repo

Images
Rather than recommending users to download pre-built Ubuntu images in Getting_started_with_OpenStack Nova, we should have a set of official Fedora images like Cloud_SIG/EC2_Images. These should be built using similar process to the EC2 images.
For now, we can suggest users build Fedora images using Oz.
