Devstack with Oracle Enterprise Linux

Currently I am working on a development of OpenStack Neutron plugin for a network switch. One of the OS I need to deploy on is Oracle Enterprise Linux. Oracle announced the support of OpenStack in last December, the annocument is here. However, if you try to use devstack to setup your enviroment, it still complains that it is not a supported platform.

If you make the two line changes on the funtions-common in devstack show below.

         elif [[ $os_VENDOR =~ Red.*Hat ]]; then

Run stack.sh again, you can deploy it without any issue.

In next article, I will talk about using vagrant, pycharm and virtual box to set up your development environment.
