DevStack is a set of shell scripts and utilities that quickly deploy a full OpenStack cloud from upstream git source trees on a clean Ubuntu or Rocky Linux machine. It is primarily aimed at developers and CI systems that need disposable OpenStack environments for testing and development.

Use cases

  • spin up a local OpenStack cloud for development
  • set up an OpenStack test environment in a VM
  • test cross-project OpenStack features against trunk code
  • run OpenStack CI on every commit
  • learn OpenStack internals by deploying from source
  • prototype changes to OpenStack services

When to choose

  • you need a disposable OpenStack environment built from git for development or CI
  • you want to test specific OpenStack branch combinations or milestone-proposed code
  • you are an OpenStack contributor who needs a realistic dev cloud quickly

When to avoid

  • you want a production OpenStack deployment - use OpenStack-Ansible, Kolla-Ansible, or a packaged distribution instead
  • you cannot dedicate a clean disposable VM, since the scripts alter system configuration extensively
  • you need a supported, upgradeable installation rather than a dev sandbox
