Installing OpenStack via Vagrant on Fedora 17 using https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible
The great thing about this repo is that it "just works" from Fedora 17 and quite possibly other platforms.
You'll be creating VMs within VMs, but don't worry about that. At the end of make all you'll have the following systems:
- controller: an Ubuntu box running the following OpenStack components
- compute1: an Ubuntu box running the following OpenStack components
- instance-00000001: a CirrOS VM running on the compute1 host
Install dependencies
(You'll need to install Vagrant and its dependencies, of course.)
yum install ansible
yum install python-nova
(Fedora 17 ships with python-nova-2012.1.3)
vagrant up via make all
git clone https://github.com/lorin/openstack-ansible.git
cd openstack-ansible
make all
Verify that a "cirros" VM was created
source openrc
nova list
You should see output similar to this:
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+-----------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks |
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+-----------------------+
| 8b10ed50-70a4-46a5-b69e-989cfe5b91a8 | cirros | ACTIVE | private=192.168.100.2 |
+--------------------------------------+--------+--------+-----------------------+
Take a look at the two Openstack hosts that were created ("controller" and "compute1")
cd vms
vagrant status
You should see output like this:
Current VM states:
controller running
compute1 running
To ssh to compute1 (from the "vms" directory)
vagrant ssh compute1
Once you're ssh'd in, you can run a virsh list:
vagrant@compute1:~$ virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------
1 instance-00000001 running
Here's are the ethernet interfaces on the two Ubuntu hosts:

I tried using a CentOS base box but the network config didn't work... the VMs didn't get the IP addresses from the Vagrantfile. Here is the error:
[controller] Configuring and enabling network interfaces...
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!
/sbin/ifup eth1 2> /dev/null
Other users of CentOS base boxes report similar problems here: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/997
