The document discusses deploying OpenStack using DevStack, outlining the complexity and requirements involved, such as numerous dependencies and configuration changes. It explains DevStack's role in installing and configuring OpenStack services and provides detailed steps for setting up a development environment. Additionally, it touches on customization options and related projects to enhance the DevStack experience.

● Python Dependencies: 50 – 100
● Linux Distro Dependencies: > 100
● Databases: 5 – 10
● Configuration Changes to System: … a lot

6. What DevStack Does
● Installing all prereq software via packages or pip
● Installing all OpenStack software via git to latest master
● Configuring and installing working database schema
● Configuring hypervisor, storage backends, networks
● Creating service ids and service catalog entries to connect all components
● Starting all OpenStack services under screen (for easy hot fix)
● Creating Apache configuration for web dashboard available at 127.0.0.1
● Creates working Tempest config in /opt/stack/tempest
WARNING: DevStack will massively modify your OS. Do not run on a laptop.

9. OpenStack Services – Management Glue
● OpenStack Services as Management Plane
● Example: Keystone – Identity Services
– Provides REST API over existing auth systems
– Generates Tokens (with expiration) for User + Action in OpenStack Cloud
– Additional Metadata / Grouping for cloud operations
– Service Catalog to be able to discover all OpenStack end points beyond Keystone

12. Hacking with DevStack
● Edit code in /opt/stack
– Be careful about devstack overwriting things, safer to use local branches
● Connect to screen: screen -rd stack
● Find service you want restarted
– Ctrl-C
– Up Arrow
– Enter
● Voila! Your changes are now running.

13. Customizing DevStack further – when the defaults aren't enough
devstack/localrc – basic devstack configuration
ADMIN_PASSWORD=0penstack

LOGDAYS=1
LOGFILE=$DEST/logs/stack.sh.log
MYSQL_PASSWORD=superstack

Pass through variables

16. Caveat Developer
● 4G memory recommended
– 8G VMs used in OpenStack testing
● Can run in a VM
– 2nd Level guests will be slow, but cirros works ok
● Be extremely careful with changes in /opt/stack
● Does not reclone git trees by default
● If all else goes wrong... ./clean.sh should fix it

17. DevStack doesn't support my particular desired config, what do I do?
● A good change to DevStack
– Generally useful configs
– Not just pass through variables that could be specified via local.conf
– Fits current architecture
● Reviewed through review.openstack.org
– Small review team, please be patient
– Small patches much better than large ones
– Questions can be asked on #openstack-qa on freenode.net
