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 in the OpenStack Install and Deploy Manual - Red Hat.
Here is a listing of known installation guides:
- OpenStack Install and Deploy Manual - Red Hat (Grizzly)
This guide walks through an installation using packages available through Fedora 17 as well as on RHEL and derivatives through the EPEL repository. It offers explanations for the configuration choices as well as sample configuration files.
- Getting Started with OpenStack on Fedora 18 (Folsom)
The Folsom release is in Fedora 18. This page discusses the installation of Folsom on Fedora 18. Once EPEL 6 has been updated to include Folsom, these instructions should be used if installing on RHEL 6. The main difference between the Fedora 18 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.
