/misc_vms

Collection of templates to spin up VMs for various jobs

Devstack

Typical Devstack requires 8 Gb of RAM and 10 Gb of disk space. Separate folders for Devstack branches and specific configs, like enabled OVS.

Playbook sets up everything in VM, clones proper branch of Devstack and do unstack.sh and stack.sh commands. Playbook run is idempotent, so recurring run just repeats unstack and stack scripts. It allows to repair some minor problems without VM re-deploy.

Multinode Devstack

Detailed manual in folder. Workflow is the same like regular Devstack.
