Hello all,<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"> <font size="-2"><br>
</font> I have a couple of quick questions about setting up
OpenStack. I need to set up a bunch of new VMs on some new
hardware in the next few days and am wondering about the best
options I have available.<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> I'd very much like to be able to use Docker images, and I
understand that this means that I need the new Havana release.
(Right?)<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> Is Havana still on track to be released in two days? Or is
the release calendar out of date? If Havana will really be out in
two days I will certainly wait. If Havana is coming late, does
anybody have a best-guess ballpark timeline? (A week? A month? A
quarter? I promise not to complain if it's inaccurate: I'm just
trying to figure out if it would be worth waiting.)<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> If I want to install Havana before it's officially
released, what's the best way to do that? For the OS, is the
Ubuntu server distro with bundled OpenStack the best way to go?
(That is my current inclination, as I want to get this stuff
working as quickly as possible—but I obviously don't want to do
anything stupid.)<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> Is there a good preview build of Ubuntu+OpenStack out
there that has the latest Havana builds or would I need to roll my
own? (And how hard is this?)<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> If I were to install the current Ubuntu server distro with
Grizzly, how hard would it be to upgrade everything later? I won't
have a big cluster or anything: just a couple of very powerful
boxes. (I wouldn't want to have to recreate the VMs or reinstall
the OS, but some downtime wouldn't be a problem.)<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> I've never installed OpenStack before but I'm pretty good
at figuring things out. I'm sure I can read the manual when it
comes time to do the actual setup: I'm just looking for a little
bit of information to help me figure out what I want to set up.<br>
<font size="-2"><br>
</font> Thanks in advance,<br>
