Networks, Security groups, Flavors and Images are a few example of what you need to setup before being ready to install OSM on OpenStack. + +This feature proposes the automatic installation of OSM on top of an OpenStack infrastructure. It is based on Ansible, a well-known automation tool. The Ansible playbook performs the following operations: + +* Create an external network and its subnet +* Download the Ubuntu 18.04 image and upload it +* Create a security group to allow SSH and HTTP access to an instance +* Create a VM flavour compatible to OSM +* Deploy an Ubuntu 18.04 instance +* Install OSM when the instance becomes available + +All these tasks are performed only if required. This is a feature of Ansible. For instance, if the Ubuntu 18.04 image is already present, the task is skipped. + +## Demo or definition of done ## + +It is an open question to the community if it worth adding this as an option to the `install_osm.sh` installer or leave it as a standalone feature. + +If the standard invocation of Ansible is used, the following procedure is required. + +### Playbook execution + +In order to execute the playbook, it is required an OpenStack openrc file. It can be downloaded from the OpenStack web interface Horizon. + +After that, it can be loaded with the following command: + +`$ . openrc` + +Then, all the credentials are loaded in the bash environment. Now it is possible to execute the playbook to configure OpenStack and install OSM: + +`$ ansible-playbook site.yml` \ No newline at end of file -- 2.17.1
