Greetings! Short story, some time ago I scored a free (to me anyway) Red Hat online training course and chose one of the OpenStack courses. It has been good so far, but now that I have a decent handle on the course I want to break out of their simple lab environment and tinker in my own dev environment.
My distro of choice? Why Scientific Linux of course! Except I don't see any of the openstack packages to install from. Hrm. I poked around on the mirrors but came up empty. I tossed CentOS 7.2 (*shudder*) on a VM and was able to pull the packages. So it looks like it is just not ported over to SL for some reason. Meh - most of the tools are open source and I can pull from upstream (already messed around a little with this; a touch more difficult to get going but no major hurdles yet - of course supporting this in production may be challenging). Then I had an idea. I wonder if I can pull the CentOS-OpenStack-kilo.repo RPM over onto my SL boxes? Hrm...I wonder how much that will bork things up in the long run...probably not a great idea for anything more then 'just because I can' testing... Now I am really curious. How are others running OpenStack on SL? Is anyone even doing it? Are you just pulling from upstream? Or is there a really simple answer that I somehow have over looked? Thanks! ~Stack~
