With the recent OpenStack announcement, I was tasked with creating a presentation to document my experiences deploying the newly released OpenStack Folsom. One portion of my presentation spent time detailing the vanilla OpenStack installation and configuration. At the time of my writing (October 2012), the official OpenStack documentation wasn’t quite polished yet, so I began recording my own processes in hope that it would save someone else a bit of time.

After sharing my tutorial with a few friends in the OpenStack community, it seems there was some interest in having these documents published outside of our internal Nimbula wiki. So, here it is:
