Latest Documentation Of OpenStack For CentOS7
Hello All,
Is there any good and complete material on how to install OpenStack in CentOS out there that is updated that you can share to begin configuring. I
have followed some documentation in docs.openstack.org and its seems like every time i follow one of the module I hit a lot of errors and could not complete the installation.

Hello, for updated documentation for the Openstack Platform product as provided by Red Hat starts here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/
and I think it could be a good starting point anyway.
Please note that I think it requires a particular subscription and that you can try it for free going here:
https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/openstack-platform
If you want to use CentOS (or also base Red Hat OS but without RH Openstack channels) you can go with RDO project:
https://www.rdoproject.org/
It contains many docs too and in general you can choose differente repo, depending on which version of Openstack you want to deploy (current one is Newton now)
For more detailed questions/clarifications, ecc I think you can go to:
https://www.rdoproject.org/community/
and see the appropriate communication channels

Dear Gianluca,
Thanks for sharing this information it will take my whole week again to read the architecture and to understand it. By the way is it recommended to run the OpenStack on top of ESXi6 for testing purpose? When I provision the CentOS VMs for this test I append this line ‘vhv.enable=true’ inside the
.vmx file to support Nested-Environment inside my ESXi6
Its my first time to install and configure OpenStack so I’m wondering if I
will hit some limitation in my VM environment if I setup this inside of VMs running in CentOS7.2

Yes, in the past I was able to create a nested Openstack “farm” (tested both Grizzly and Icehouse versions) inside VSphere 5 using a vApp without any problems. In this vApp there were 13 VMs configured with CentOS 6: 3 compute nodes, 2
swift proxy nodes, 3 swift storage nodes, 3 controller nodes + 2 load balancer nodes (to manage calls for swift storage and swift proxy nodes)
In ESXi 5 the steps to configure/enable nested hypervisors was different than in ESXi 6.
Recently I was able to configure a nested oVirt environment in ESXi 6 and basically I followed what described here. http://nokitel.im/index.php/2016/03/21/nested-windows-hyper-v-server-2012-r2-on-vmware-vsphere-esxi-6/
and verifying that I was able to load kvm kernel module in my virtual hypervisors and start qemu-kvm on them. HIH, Gianluca
