In this chapter, we deployed the Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine Appliance in an OpenStack environment, and you learned where to configure the hostname, network settings, and time zone. We configured an internal PostgreSQL database and started the EVM server process. We then used the floating IP of the instance to access the appliance from a web browser, and you learned where the different feature sets are and how to navigate around.

In the next chapter, we will add infrastructure and cloud providers to build a hybrid cloud environment, and also see how to configure and discover resources already present in virtualized environments.
