Chapter 2. Setting up Trove with DevStack in a Box

There are several distributions of OpenStack that are available out there and almost all of them can be used along with Trove. Since the focus of this book is Trove and not so much deploying OpenStack itself, we will set up Trove along with DevStack, which is a script that helps in quickly setting up a development environment of OpenStack.

In this chapter, we will look at setting up our Stack in a single node deployment and follow up with setting up the Trove system. In brief, this chapter will deal with:

• Prerequisites for following along with this book
• Understanding DevStack and its components
• Setting up the Trove system with DevStack
• Working with screen and performing some functions in DevStack

At the end of the book, we will have a working Trove install in less than a couple of hours. It is not recommended to use this method (using DevStack) to roll out a production environment.
