  • Installs and configures the chef-server
  • Installs the IBM OpenStack RPM files in a yum repository on the deployment server
  • Uploads the OpenStack cookbooks, roles, data bags and sample environments to the chef-server
  • Installs an IBM extension to the Chef knife command that enables IBM OpenStack topology deployments
