Hi everybody, I'm excited to announce that, after a fairly substantial amount of work, our first preview release of Juju Charms for Project Calico is available! Juju is a tool written by Canonical that makes it extremely easy to build and orchestrate complex services. One of its most powerful features is that it can combine with Metal-as-a-Service, another Canonical tool, to make it extremely simple to deploy OpenStack in a number of configurations. For the past couple of months we've been working on making it possible to build an OpenStack deployment using Juju that uses Calico to provide the OpenStack networking. Today marks the public availability of the first set of beta charms for doing just that. As of right now you can go online and get started with OpenStack Calico using Juju. It's never been easier! If you've already got a MAAS + Juju system up and running, you can get started right now. Attached to this email is the bundle we sent to the OpenStack Interoperability Lab. You should be able to drag and drop this bundle into your Juju GUI and immediately get OpenStack with Calico running. This particular bundle deploys OpenStack very densely, loading almost all the management services onto a single server, and using two more to act as compute nodes. If you want a more spread out deployment, feel free to edit the bundle: if you need assistance in doing that, please don't hesitate to ask for help on this list. If you're not familiar with Juju or MAAS and want to give them a try, you can find out more on the Juju website[0] and the MAAS website[1]. Both products are free and open source, and are absolutely worth checking out. The source code for the charms is available on Launchpad. The links are below[2-7]. In the next few weeks we aim to get our modifications to existing charms upstreamed into those existing charms. We also plan to add our custom charms to the charm store, though that will require a bit more work. The eventual goal is that you will be able to install OpenStack with Calico seamlessly with Juju, making it easier than ever to simplify and scale your OpenStack deployment. Keep watching this space!
