Lab Setup

This lab can be recreated in your own environment to complete at your own pace.

If you do not have an existing OpenStack cluster, you can run the following on a bare-metal host to deploy devstack and then the lab environment on top:

$ ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy_devstack.yml

To deploy the lab against an existing OpenStack cloud, create an ansible variables file (see playbooks/devstack_env.yml for an example) and run the following:

$ ansible-playbook playbooks/deploy_webapp.yml -e @playbooks/devstack_env.yml

$ ansible-playbook webapp/deploy.yml

$ ansible-playbook playbooks/make_loadbalancer.yml -e @playbooks/devstack_env.yml

Note	If using an existing environment, it must support the cinder-backup and octavia services.
