Chapter 2. Basic environment configuration

Although most environments include OpenStack Identity, Image Service, Compute, at least one networking service, and the dashboard, OpenStack Object Storage can operate independently of most other services. If your use case only involves Object Storage, you can skip to the section called “System requirements for Object Storage”. However, the dashboard will not work without at least OpenStack Image Service and Compute.

You must use an account with administrative privileges to configure each node. Either run the commands as the root user or configure the sudo utility.
