RHEL OpenStack Platform director facilitates planning, deployment, and ongoing operations of RHEL OpenStack infrastructure. It provides a complete end-to-end solution for OpenStack business planning, system deployment, and infrastructure operations through APIs, CLI, and a dashboard. TripleO uses OpenStack components like Nova and Heat to deploy OpenStack to bare metal servers, treating hardware deployment like a special hypervisor. RHEL OpenStack Platform director manages both the production OpenStack cloud and the deployment and management "undercloud".

๏ TripleO uses Nova and Ironic to deploy to hardware
Nova provides command and
control services for hardware nodes.
Nova’s scheduler matches bare
metal flavors to hardware.
It orchestrates the rendering of bare
metal* by treating Ironic’s API as a
special bare metal hypervisor.

Key Concept:We HaveTwo Clouds

๏ RHEL OpenStack Production cloud
๏ The OpenStack you know and love
๏ The Cloud that your tenants will use
๏ Also known as the “Overcloud”
๏ RHEL OSP director is the Deployment and Management Application
๏ Command and Control cloud (director)
๏ Only for Cloud Operator use.
๏ Also known as the “Undercloud”
OSP-d as Deployment
and ManagementTool
