Compass-Web

Compass-Web is a web-based UI consuming the Restful API service provided by Compass to pragmatically deploy an OpenStack system on to a set of raw physical resources. It is used for demo purpose. It can be used as a base to develop a UI for more sophisticated use cases.

Compass-Web is based on JavaScriptMVC framework. It has five modules: Servers, Security, Networking, Host Configuration and Deployment.

  1. Servers Module. Discover available servers with switch information and add a subset of the servers to a cluster.

  2. Security Module. Specify credentials for the OpenStack system.

  3. Networking Module. Specify network addresses needed to facilitate the OpenStack cluster you want to use for your OpenStack servers.

  4. Host Configuration Module Configure host names of the servers in the cluster.

  5. Deployment Module Deploy OpenStack onto the servers with the realtime progressbars.
