What is OpenStack?
OpenStack is a collection of open source projects designed to work together to form the basis of a cloud. It enables organizations to transform their data centers into modern and robust platforms that resemble the behavior of leading public clouds, while empowering them to keep full control over their budget and sovereignty.
What is Sunbeam?
Sunbeam lowers the barrier to entry for OpenStack and simplifies its deployment and operations processes. Backed by cloud-native architecture, Sunbeam uses bottom-up automation and high-level abstraction to make OpenStack accessible to newcomers and help users get to grips with the platform immediately.
What is Canonical OpenStack?
Canonical OpenStack (based on Sunbeam) is an enterprise cloud solution that distills the maturity and comprehensiveness of the upstream OpenStack project into an award-winning product. Canonical OpenStack gives organizations access to a broad range of commercial services: from design and delivery to post-deployment operations and maintenance.

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.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install Canonical OpenStack, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install openstack
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
