## Installing OpenStack via Vagrant on Fedora 17 using https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible

The great thing about this repo is that it "just works" from Fedora 17 and quite possibly other platforms.

You'll be creating VMs within VMs, but don't worry about that. At the end of `make all` you'll have the following systems:

- **controller**: an Ubuntu box running the following OpenStack components
    - Nova: https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible/blob/master/playbooks/nova/controller.yaml
    - Glance: https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible/blob/master/playbooks/glance/setup.yaml
    - Keystone: https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible/blob/master/playbooks/keystone/setup.yaml
- **compute1**: an Ubuntu box running the following OpenStack components
    - Nova: https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible/blob/master/playbooks/nova/compute-host.yaml
- **instance-00000001**: a [CirrOS][] VM running on the **compute1** host

[CirrOS]: https://launchpad.net/cirros

### Install dependencies 

(You'll need to install [Vagrant][] and its dependencies, of course.)

[Vagrant]: http://vagrantup.com

    yum install ansible
    yum install python-nova

(Fedora 17 ships with `python-nova-2012.1.3`)

### `vagrant up` via `make all`

    git clone https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible.git
    cd openstack-ansible
    make all

### Verify that a "cirros" VM was created

    source openrc
    nova list

You should see output similar to this:

    +--------------------------------------+--------+--------+-----------------------+
    |                  ID                  |  Name  | Status |        Networks       |
    +--------------------------------------+--------+--------+-----------------------+
    | 8b10ed50-70a4-46a5-b69e-989cfe5b91a8 | cirros | ACTIVE | private=192.168.100.2 |
    +--------------------------------------+--------+--------+-----------------------+

### Take a look at the two Openstack hosts that were created ("controller" and "compute1")

    cd vms
    vagrant status

You should see output like this:

    Current VM states:

    controller               running
    compute1                 running

To ssh to compute1 (from the "vms" directory)

    vagrant ssh compute1

Once you're ssh'd in, you can run a `virsh list`:

    vagrant@compute1:~$ virsh list
     Id Name                 State
    ----------------------------------
      1 instance-00000001    running
