MicroStack is a single-machine, snap-deployed OpenStack cloud.
Common purposes include:
- Development and testing of OpenStack workloads
- Continuous integration (CI)
- IoT and appliances
- Edge clouds (experimental)
- Introducing new users to OpenStack
Currently provided OpenStack services are: Nova, Keystone, Glance, Horizon, and Neutron.
MicroStack is frequently updated to provide the latest stable updates of the most recent OpenStack release.
Requirements: You will need at least 2 CPUs, 8 GiB of memory, and 100 GiB of disk space.
Verify CPUs and Memory:
$ free -h
$ grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo
Configure Hostname:
$ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname openstack-lab-XY.bdren.net.bd --static
$ sudo reboot
$hostname
At this time you can install from the --beta or --edge snap channels:
sudo snap install microstack --classic --edge
Initialisation will set up databases, networks, flavors, an SSH keypair, a CirrOS image, and open ICMP/SSH security groups:
sudo microstack.init --auto
The OpenStack client is bundled as microstack.openstack. For example:
microstack.openstack network list
microstack.openstack flavor list
microstack.openstack keypair list
microstack.openstack image list
microstack.openstack security group rule list
To create an instance (called "Test-VM") based on the CirrOS image:
microstack.launch cirros --name Test-VM
The launch output will show you how to connect to the instance. For the CirrOS image, the user account is 'cirros'.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_microstack cirros@<ip-address>
