Install OpenStack yourself
Try OpenStack in five simple steps. Set up a small-scale cloud or deploy a large cluster across hundreds of physical machines.
If you need OpenStack consulting or a fully managed service, talk to an expert.
Single-node, multi-node or large-scale cluster?
Choose the option that suits you best:
Single-node mode
- Uses Sunbeam
- Works on machines with limited hardware resources
- Suitable for testing and development
In order to install OpenStack in a single-node mode, refer to the product documentation.
Multi-node mode with bare metal automation
- Uses Sunbeam
- Uses MAAS for bare metal automation
- Suitable for large-scale production environments
In order to install OpenStack in a multi-node mode with bare metal automation, refer to the product documentation.
