Running Nova on Multiple Nodes
==============================
When you move beyond evaluating the technology and into building an actual
production environemnt, you will need to know how to configure your datacenter
and how to deploy components across your clusters. This guide should help you
through that process.
Bare-metal Provisioning
-----------------------
To install the base operating system you can use PXE booting.
Types of Hosts
--------------
A single machine in your cluster can act as one or more of the following types
of host:
Nova Services
* Network
* Compute
* Volume
* API
* Objectstore
Other supporting services
* Message Queue
* Database (optional)
* Authentication database (optional)
Initial Setup
-------------
* Networking
* Cloudadmin User Creation
Deployment Technologies
-----------------------
Once you have machines with a base operating system installation, you can deploy
code and configuration with your favorite tools to specify which machines in
your cluster have which roles:
* Puppet
* Chef
