5 Steps to Platform9 Managed OpenStack in Minutes
Step 1:
Sign up and install host agent
Sign up to receive your dedicated Platform9 Control Plane. Then, swiftly install the Platform9 host agent on your server, establishing an HTTPS connection to your on-premises controller.
Step 2:
Authorize servers
Authorize servers by determining and assigning their roles: Hypervisor: Can run virtual machine instances (Nova Compute) Image Library: Can serve VM images to hypervisors (Glance) Storage Endpoint: Can interface with block storage (Cinder) Network Endpoint: Can interface with networks (Nova or Neutron)
Step 3:
Import images
Allow the Image Library to discover your existing VM disk images or import Platform9-maintained pre-configured images. Review and tailor the available VM flavors to your environment. Use host aggregates to define resource tiers with tags and map them to specific flavors.
Step 4:
Add users, go live!
Onboard self-service users and establish tenant groups, assigning roles within each tenant. Control access to VM images, flavors, and networks per tenant. Congratulations, you’re now live with OpenStack! Let Platform9 handle all future maintenance and operations.
