Conclusion
After understanding and working through the steps we have described, you should have a working small cloud that is
scalable through the addition of compute and storage nodes. OpenStack is a complex suite of software and may be
configured in many different ways. This reference architecture should provide a baseline for implementation and can serve
as a functional environment for many workloads.
We recommend the excellent documentation on the OpenStack web site if you want to learn more about the individual
components and architectural choices available to you when setting up and running OpenStack.
The HP ProLiant SL series hardware is an excellent platform for implementation of OpenStack. It provides powerful, dense
compute and storage capabilities via the servers we’ve selected for this reference architecture. And the iLO management
capability is indispensable in managing a small cluster of this kind.
Enjoy your OpenStack Cloud!
