OpenStack for Architects

By: Michael Solberg, Benjamin Silverman

Overview of this book

Over the last five years, hundreds of organizations have successfully implemented Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms based on OpenStack. The huge amount of investment from these organizations, industry giants such as IBM and HP, as well as open source leaders such as Red Hat have led analysts to label OpenStack as the most important open source technology since the Linux operating system. Because of its ambitious scope, OpenStack is a complex and fast-evolving open source project that requires a diverse skill-set to design and implement it. This guide leads you through each of the major decision points that you'll face while architecting an OpenStack private cloud for your organization. At each point, we offer you advice based on the experience we've gained from designing and leading successful OpenStack projects in a wide range of industries. Each chapter also includes lab material that gives you a chance to install and configure the technologies used to build production-quality OpenStack clouds. Most importantly, we focus on ensuring that your OpenStack project meets the needs of your organization, which will guarantee a successful rollout.

Preface

Installing Keystone


Let's iterate on the current environment, adding another profile and role. Now that we have a database available, install the first OpenStack service, Keystone. First write a unit test. Our test will ensure that we can get a token from Keystone using the admin username and password that we specified in the Packstack answer file. This can be done with a curl command. Create a file named test_keystone.sh under the test directory in our Git repository:

$ cd ~/openstack/test/
$ vi test_keystone.sh

Use the following content as an example, substituting your password for the password of the demo user (secret) and the hostname of your first controller for controller01:

curl -i \ 
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ 
  -d ' 
  { "auth": { 
    "tenantId": "demo", 
    "passwordCredentials": { 
      "userId": "demo", 
      "password": "secret" 
    } 
  } 
}' \ 
http://controller01:5000/v2/auth/tokens ; echo
