Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Red Hat OpenStack Platform is supported the latest version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. For information on installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux, see the corresponding installation guide at: Product Documentation for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform

To install OpenStack components and their dependencies, use the Red Hat OpenStack Platform director. Director uses a basic OpenStack undercloud, which is then used to provision and manage the OpenStack nodes in the final overcloud.

Be aware that you will need one extra host machine for the installation of the undercloud, in addition to the environment necessary for the deployed overcloud. For detailed instructions, see the Director Installation and Usage guide.

High Availability

For the configuration of additional high availability components (for example, HAProxy), see the High Availability Deployment and Usage guide.

For information about configuring live migration, see Migrating virtual machine instances between Compute nodes in the Instances and Images Guide.

Octavia

The OpenStack Load-balancing service (Octavia) provides a Load Balancing-as-a-Service (LBaaS) version 2 implementation for Red Hat OpenStack platform director installations. For more information, see the Using Octavia for Load Balancing-as-a-Service guide.

Pacemaker

Pacemaker is integrated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux as an add-on. To set up Red Hat Enterprise Linux for high availability, see the High Availability Add-On Overview guide.
