OpenStack Virtual Baremetal is a way to use OpenStack instances to do simulated baremetal deployments. This project is a collection of tools and documentation that make it much easier to do so. It primarily consists of the following pieces:
A basic OVB environment is just a BMC VM configured to control a number of "baremetal" VMs. This allows them to be treated largely the same way a real baremetal system with a BMC would. A number of additional features can also be enabled to add more to the environment.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed on elementary OS from the command line. Open Terminal from the Applications launcher and type the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install freyes-ovb, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install freyes-ovb --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
