VMware Integrated OpenStack Deployment in Tiny Mode

Tiny deployment mode consolidates all OpenStack control plane and compute driver nodes.

To deploy OpenStack in tiny mode, you must use the VMware Integrated OpenStack API. Deployment using the vApp is not supported.

In tiny mode, the same virtual machine comprises the management and compute clusters. Because tiny mode involves only a single virtual machine, you cannot add compute clusters.

A tiny deployment runs on one ESXi host and includes two virtual machines. These include the OpenStack Management Server and the unified control plane and compute driver node.

To deploy in tiny mode, at least three contiguous IP addresses must be available on the management network. Each of the preceding virtual machines requires one IP address, and one additional IP address is required for the private OpenStack endpoint. At least one IP address must be available on the API access network to be used as the public OpenStack endpoint.

Note: If you want to deploy Ceilometer, an additional five virtual machines are required. These virtual machines each require one IP address on the management network.

To ensure that you can upgrade VMware Integrated OpenStack successfully, plan management and API access networks that include twice the number of IP addresses required for your deployment. The extra IP addresses will be used during the upgrade procedure.
