Two-Server OpenStack Production Cluster

Job ID: 39762227

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

I have two identical Dell servers ready and need them transformed into a fully functional OpenStack cluster for a production workload. The environment must cover the three core services: Compute (Nova) so I can spin up instances, Storage (Cinder) for block volumes, and Networking (Neutron) to handle tenant networks, floating IPs, and routing.

I have not fixed a specific OpenStack release, so you are welcome to recommend the most stable, well-supported version for a two-node setup. What matters is that the final solution is reliable, replicable, and documented so day-to-day operations can be performed without guesswork.

Deliverables:
• Complete installation and configuration across both Dell machines
• Verification that Nova, Cinder, and Neutron work together seamlessly (launch instance, attach volume, reach internet)
• A concise handover document: network plan, credentials, and the exact commands or playbooks used

If you regularly deploy OpenStack and can prove the cluster’s health when you’re done, let’s get started.
