Hi folks, I've written a guide on how to install OpenStack Essex on Ubuntu 12.04. It covers the installation and configuration of Keystone, Glance, Nova and Horizon. By following this guide, even people that haven't collected much OpenStack experience so far should be able to get the virtualization environment up and running in a short period of time. The full document is available from here: http://www.hastexo.com/resources/docs/installing-openstack-essex-4-ubuntu-1204-precise-pangolin All feedback and comments are much appreciated -- thanks in advance!
