Deployment Guide

The OpenStack operator requires that you have a functional Kuberentes cluster in order to be able to deploy it. The following steps out-line the installation of a cluster and the operator.

The deployment of the OpenStack operator is highly containerised, even for the components not managed by the operator. The steps to get started involve deploying Docker for running the underlying infrastructure, installing a load balancer to access the Kubernetes API, deploying Kubernetes itself and then the operator which should start the OpenStack deployment.
