The Fedora project provides OpenStack packages in Fedora 16 and later. Fedora also provides packages for RHEL6 via the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) 6 repository. If you would like to install OpenStack on RHEL6, see this page for more information on enabling the use of EPEL: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.
Detailed instructions for installing OpenStack Compute on Fedora or RHEL6 can be found on the Fedora wiki. See these pages for more information:
- Getting Started with OpenStack on Fedora 17
The Essex release is in Fedora 17. This page discusses the installation of Essex on Fedora 17. Once EPEL 6 has been updated to include Essex, these instructions should be used if installing on RHEL 6. The main difference between the Fedora 17 instructions and what must be done on RHEL 6 is that RHEL 6 does not use systemd, so the systemctl commands will have to substituted with the RHEL 6 equivalent.
- Getting Started with OpenStack Nova
This page was originally written as instructions for getting started with OpenStack on Fedora 16, which includes the Diablo release. At the time of writing, While EPEL 6 still includes Diablo, these instructions should be used if installing on RHEL 6.
