Open- or Not-So-OpenStack? – Comments on the OpenStack Foundation

Contributions to Open Source Software (OSS) projects are an excellent means to foster broad uptake of innovations and has therefore become indispensable for research and development in computer science.

Foreman, Puppet and OpenStack

So all our work in the previous articles has been leading up to this one. In this article we’ll describe how you can deploy a full multi-node [OpenStack](http://www.openstack.org) cluster beginning from bare metal using [Foreman](http://www.theforeman.org) and [puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com). Before continuing we should note what exactly ‘bare metal’ is in this context. Bare metal refers to physical server hardware that has not yet been provisioned with an operating system. When provisioning this bare metal, it is assumed that the underlying network has been setup (e.g. L2 configurations).
