System requirements


OpenStack components are intended to run on standard hardware that range from desktop machines to enterprise-grade servers. The processors of the compute nodes need to support virtualization technologies, such as Intel's VT-x or AMD's AMD-v technologies.

This book assumes that OpenStack will be installed on physical hardware that meets the following minimum requirements:

Server

Recommended hardware

Notes

Controller node (runs network, volume, API, scheduler, and image services)

Processor: 64-bit x86

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Disk space: 80 GB

Network: Two 1 Gbps network interface cards (NICs)

While a single NIC can be used, it is not recommended, and therefore not addressed in this build.
