Danube OpenStack User Guide
============================

OpenStack is a cloud operating system developed and released by the
`OpenStack project <https://www.openstack.org>`_.  OpenStack is used in OPNFV
for controlling pools of compute, storage, and networking resources in a Pharos
compliant infrastructure.

OpenStack is used in Danube to manage tenants (known in OpenStack as
projects),users, services, images, flavours, and quotas across the Pharos
infrastructure.The OpenStack interface provides the primary interface for an
operational Danube deployment and it is from the "horizon console" that an
OPNFV user will perform the majority of administrative and operational
activities on the deployment.

OpenStack references
--------------------

The `OpenStack user guide <http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide>`_ provides
details and descriptions of how to configure and interact with the OpenStack
deployment.This guide can be used by lab engineers and operators to tune the
OpenStack deployment to your liking.

Once you have configured OpenStack to your purposes, or the Danube
deployment meets your needs as deployed, an operator, or administrator, will
find the best guidance for working with OpenStack in the
`OpenStack administration guide <http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide-admin>`_.

Connecting to the OpenStack instance
------------------------------------

Once familiar with the basic of working with OpenStack you will want to connect
to the OpenStack instance via the Horizon Console.  The Horizon console provide
a Web based GUI that will allow you operate the deployment.
To do this you should open a browser on the JumpHost to the following address
and enter the username and password:


  http://{Controller-VIP}:80/index.html>
  username: admin
  password: admin

Other methods of interacting with and configuring OpenStack,, like the REST API
and CLI are also available in the Danube deployment, see the
`OpenStack administration guide <http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide-admin>`_
for more information on using those interfaces.
