Deploy OpenStack Nodes: Reminders

Here we post some important notes about deploying OpenStack nodes

Deploying physical machines

It is important to install an ntp client on every physical machine, in order to keep the clocks synchronized on all nodes.

For sake of simplicity we decided to use the same schema for all nodes, independently whether we install services on the physical machine or on containers. We follow this procedure:

1. Deploy an Ubuntu charm (e.g. cs:xenial/ubuntu) called e.g. “host”
2. Deploy ntp (cs:ntp)
3. Relate the two: juju add-relation host ntp
