OpenStack Dashboard ("Horizon")

What is Horizon ?

Horizon is the canonical implementation of Openstack’s Dashboard, which provides a web based user interface to OpenStack services including Nova, Swift, Keystone, etc. Please see Introducing Horizon for a thorough look at what Horizon is and what the aims of the project are.

Resources

Requirements

• Python 2.6 or 2.7 (not compatible with Python 3.0).
• An identity and authentication service endpoint: Keystone
• A Compute endpoint, with all compute services (API, scheduler, compute, network, etc.) running: Nova
• An Image Store endpoint: Glance

Optional

• An Object Store endpoint: Swift
• A networking endpoint: Neutron

Other optional components: Orchestration (Heat), Metering (Telemetry), Database (Trove), Data processing (Sahara). As a rule Horizon aim to provide out-of-the-box support for the other integrated projects.
