This guide shows you how to create a controller node to host most services and a compute node to run virtual machine instances. Subsequent chapters create additional nodes to run more services. OpenStack is flexible about how and where you run each service, so other configurations are possible. However, you must configure certain operating system settings on each node.
This chapter details a sample configuration for the controller node and any additional nodes. You can configure the operating system in other ways, but this guide assumes that your configuration is compatible with the one described here.
All example commands assume you have administrative privileges. Either run the commands as the root user or prefix them with the sudo command.
