OpenStack Services Required

FIWARE Lab Nodes are based on the OpenStack distribution. Please take a look to the section OpenStack upgrade version policy in FIWARE Lab (see section 3.2) to understand which version of OpenStack should be running on the nodes. As such and to the time of writing this document, nodes are required to install the following OpenStack services based on the '''OpenStack Newton release''':

• Mandatory:

  • OpenStack Nova (using KVM as hypervisor since image catalogue stores KVM compatible images).

  • OpenStack Glance (Swift as default backend type, other solutions may be adopted depending on hardware owned by the specific FIWARE Lab node).

  • OpenStack Cinder (as default solution we suggest LVM, other solutions may be adopted depending on hardware owned by the specific FIWARE Lab node).

  • OpenStack Neutron with OVS and GRE or VxLAN tunnels (floating IPs must be made available to users).

  • OpenStack Ceilometer with MongoDB as backed as default solution.

  • OpenStack Keystone only for initial setup and testing, then FIWARE Lab keystone should be used.

  • OpenStack Horizon only for initial setup and testing, then FIWARE Lab Cloud Portal should be used.

• Optional

  • OpenStack Swift with 3 replication factor value. Optionally, CEPH with the OpenStack Swift APIs could be installed.

  • OpenStack Murano with OpenStack Heat for PaaS capabilities.

  • OpenStack Magnum with Swarm for managed docker.
