You should be able to run the RDO distribution on SL. This is a nicely packaged RPM based distribution including the packstack utility to set up a simple cloud with a few commands. I'd suggest using SL 7 with the most recent OpenStack releases (post Kilo) which require Python 2.7.
The RDO quick start instructions explicitly mention SL (https://www.rdoproject.org/install/quickstart/). The more detailed installation instructions are part of the OpenStack install guide at http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-rdo/ Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:owner- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of ~Stack~ > Sent: 20 February 2016 15:42 > To: SL-users <[email protected]> > Subject: RHEL Openstack equivalent packages? > > 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.
