QEMU for the cloud instance virtualization. This allows the DevStack VM to use KVM vs. While this could be done using Virtual Box, I chose to use VMware Fusion because of the nested virtualization feature. This blog outlines the steps needed to get a single node DevStack running on a Virtual Machine (VM) using VMware Fusion so we can use Terraform against it.

Now that we know at a high level what DevStack is, we will cover how to deploy it on OS X. With DevStack, I can get a quick OpenStack cloud up and running. So, why use DevStack? I often find myself wanting to evaluate orchestration tools, or other tools that integrate with OpenStack, but don’t have an OpenStack cloud to work against. DevStack, by default, runs against the master branch of every OpenStack project, so it really is bleeding edge.

DevStack is not meant for production use due to some of the assumptions made to install it and get it running. In part two HERE I will go into more detail about Terraform.ĭevStack is an automated way of installing OpenStack to use for OpenStack development, but it also provides a quick and easy way of deploying. Written by Taylor Owen, Cloud Architect, Kovarus So first, what exactly is Terraform with DevStack? Here in part one, I will talk about DevStack and how to install it.
