(c) Christopher Price (Ericsson AB) -------------------------------- Brahmaputra OpenStack User Guide -------------------------------- OpenStack is a cloud operating system developed and released by the `OpenStack project `_. OpenStack is used in OPNFV for controlling pools of compute, storage, and networking resources in a Pharos compliant infrastructure. OpenStack is used in Brahmaputra to manage tenants (known in OpenStack as projects), users, services, images, flavours, and quotas across the Pharos infrastructure. The OpenStack interface provides the primary interface for an operational Brahmaputra deployment and it is from the "horizon console" that an OPNFV user will perform the majority of administrative and operational activities on the deployment. OpenStack references -------------------- The `OpenStack user guide `_ provides details and descriptions of how to configure and interact with the OpenStack deployment. This guide can be used by lab engineers and operators to tune the OpenStack deployment to your liking. Once you have configured OpenStack to your purposes, or the Brahmaputra deployment meets your needs as deployed, an operator, or administrator, will find the best guidance for working with OpenStack in the `OpenStack administration guide `_. Connecting to the OpenStack instance ------------------------------------ Once familiar with the basic of working with OpenStack you will want to connect to the OpenStack instance via the Horizon Console. The Horizon console provide a Web based GUI that will allow you operate the deployment. To do this you should open a browser on the JumpHost to the following address and enter the username and password: http://{Controller-VIP}:80/index.html> username: admin password: admin Other methods of interacting with and configuring OpenStack,, like the REST API and CLI are also available in the Brahmaputra deployment, see the `OpenStack administration guide `_ for more information on using those interfaces. ..
