This snap is designed to be used with a deployed OpenStack Control plane such as delivered by Sunbeam.
Getting Started
To get started with the OpenStack Hypervisor, install the snap using snapd:
$ sudo snap install openstack-hypervisor
The snap needs to be configured with credentials and URL's for the Identity service of the OpenStack cloud that it will form part of - for example:
$ sudo snap set openstack-hypervisor \
identity.auth_url=http://10.64.140.43:80/sunbeam-keystone \
identity.username=nova-hypervisor-01 \
identity.password=supersecure21
it's also possible to configure domain and project configuration.
The snap also needs to be configured with access to RabbitMQ:
$ sudo snap set openstack-hypervisor \
rabbitmq.url=rabbit://nova:supersecure22@10.152.183.212:5672/openstack
and with URL's for access to Network services:
$ sudo snap set openstack-hypervisor \
network.ovn-sb-connection=tcp:10.152.183.220:6642
The snap has numerous other configuration options - see "Configuration Reference" for full details.
