Conventions
node = host, vm or physical machine
Overview
Example architecture
Controller node
The controller node runs the Identity service, Image service, management portions of Compute, management portion of Networking, various Networking agents, and the dashboard. It also includes supporting services such as an SQL database, message queue, and NTP.
Compute node
The compute node runs the hypervisor portion of Compute that operates instances. By default, Compute uses the KVM hypervisor. The compute node also runs a Networking service agent that connects instances to virtual networks and provides firewalling services to instances via security groups.
Block Storage node (optional)
The optional Block Storage node contains the disks that the Block Storage service provisions for instances.
Object Storage node (optional)
The optional Object Storage node contain the disks that the Object Storage service uses for storing accounts, containers, and objects.
