What you need for this book

To use this book, you will need computers or servers that have hardware virtualization capabilities.

Kilo is the most recent release of OpenStack and is recommended to try out the recipes in this book.

OpenStack supports different models of deployment and each chapter provides a high level setup that is relevant for the corresponding recipes. You can also use DevStack for most of the recipes, but we recommend creating a distributed OpenStack setup for in-depth learning.
