This document discusses running OpenStack on VirtualBox and provides details on a demonstration environment using two VirtualBox VMs - one configured as the controller node and one as the compute node. Key services are outlined for each VM. Networking is configured using four network adapters per VM and requirements include VirtualBox 4.3, two preconfigured ova images, and a shell script to automate deployment.

OpenStack Manual Installation
• Official OpenStack Installation Guides are the best!
• http://docs.openstack.org

Running OpenStack on VirtualBox
• Several constraints for running OpenStack on VirtualBox
• Lack of physical available resources
• Most users use VirtualBox with rather insufficient physical resources (e.g., slow CPU,
small RAM size, …)
• Nested virtualization is not supported
• Running KVM on VirtualBox is not supported.
• Instead, we can run QEMU virtualized virtual machines on OpenStack compute
nodes.
• Virtual network design
• VirtualBox supports the following network types
: NAT, NAT Network (from 4.3), Bridged, Internal, and Host-only.
• To run OpenStack, we should correctly configure this network.

Demonstration environment – (1)
• Using 2 VirtualBox VMs
• Mainly inspired from DH Cha’s blog (thank you very much! )

juno-on.html
• VM #1: Controller node
• Message queue, keystone, glance, nova controller-related services, neutron server-
related services, cinder controller-related services
• VM #2: Compute node
• Nova compute-related service, neutron agent-related service, cinder volume service
