This document summarizes an OpenStack meetup where attendees installed OpenStack using Packstack on a single node. The agenda covered installing VirtualBox and Vagrant, generating an answer file for Packstack, deploying OpenStack, and verifying the installation by creating flavors, images, networks and launching an instance. Post-installation tasks included configuring networking and the Horizon dashboard. Attendees were guided through the basic operations for a simple proof-of-concept OpenStack deployment on a single node.

variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and
more.

11. OpenStack Components in RDO (Newton)
- Neutron: virtual network service for Openstack.

templates, through both an OpenStack-native ReST API and a
CloudFormation-compatible Query API.
- Ceilometer: project aims to become the infrastructure to collect
measurements within OpenStack
- Gnocchi: project name of a TDBaaS (Time Series Database as a Service)
project started under the Ceilometer program umbrella.
- Horizon: Django-based project aimed at providing a complete OpenStack
Dashboard

12. OpenStack Components in RDO (Newton)
- Ironic: integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal
machines instead of virtual machines.
- Trove: Database as a Service for OpenStack.
- Sahara: aims to provide users with simple means to provision a Hadoop
cluster.
