OpenStack Ansible Installation

I believe this is the installation where we can start exploring OpenStack and understanding the components.

OpenStack Ansible installation can be used for testing environments by installing in all-in-one mode or in a production environment but in a more advanced installation. In our project, we'll create only one machine that will be responsible for all necessary resources, that is, in all-in-one mode.

The documentation is at this link https://docs.openstack.org/project-deploy-guide/openstack-ansible/latest/

In the recommendations, there are several possible operating systems, but we'll use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, but we could use Rocky Linux 9 if that's your preference. SSH client and Python 3.10 are required.

You need to have VirtualBox which will be our provisioner and Vagrant which will configure the VM.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox

We'll launch a virtual machine using Vagrant, and for this, we need Vagrant installed and VirtualBox to be the Vagrant provisioner.

Vagrant.require_version ">= 2.4.0"

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    config.vm.box = "ubuntu/jammy64"
    config.vm.hostname = "devstack"
   # Change your network interface
    config.vagrant.plugins = "vagrant-disksize"
    config.disksize.size = '60GB'
    config.vm.network "public_network", bridge: "wlp0s20f3"
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.name = "devstack"
        vb.memory = 10240
        vb.cpus = 10
   end
   config.vm.provision "shell", path: "bootstrap-devstack.sh"
end
