Here we are going to deploy openstack on a single node, i.e all openstack components Nova, Glance, Keystone, Quantum and Horizon will be running in the same box. Nova-compute is also running on the same machine which will provision virtual machines on the KVM.

Requirements:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 running on Oracle VirtualBox with two NIC ‘s.

  • Setup a ubuntu virtual machine in virtualBox. (can follow Guide http://ilearnstack.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/setting-ubuntu-vm-in-virtualbox/)
