QCOW2 Image (OpenStack)

Overview

A Cloudify Manager is a compute host that runs the Cloudify Management services. To help you get running with Cloudify Manager easily, Cloudify provides images of the Cloudify Manager for OpenStack.

You can create an OpenStack instance with the OpenStack QCOW file. Images include the pre-installation of Cloudify Manager and its dependencies.

Make sure that your environment meets the prerequisites before you install the Cloudify Manager.
