RHEA-2014:0950 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Packstack packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0
(Icehouse) for RHEL 6 are now available.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building
a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud running on commonly
available physical hardware. This advisory includes packages for:

• Installation service ("Packstack").

PackStack is a command-line utility for deploying OpenStack on existing servers
over an SSH connection. Deployment options are provided either interactively,
using the command line, or non-interactively by means of a text file containing
a set of preconfigured values for OpenStack parameters.

PackStack is suitable for deploying the following types of configurations:

• Single-node proof-of-concept installations, where all controller services and

your virtual machines run on a single physical host. This is referred to as an
all-in-one install.

• Proof-of-concept installations, where there is a single controller node and

multiple compute nodes. This is similar to the all-in-one install above, except
you may use one or more additional hardware nodes for running virtual machines.

These packages also fix various bugs found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 4 release.
