Introduction to the User GuideΒΆ
The Fuel User Guide provides instructions on how to configure, test, and operate OpenStack environments using Fuel web UI and CLI.
If you have already deployed OpenStack environments using earlier versions of the Fuel software, see the Upgrading Fuel section in the Fuel Installation Guide for instructions on upgrading your existing OpenStack distribution and the Fuel software.
Before you read this document, you must install the Fuel Master node as described in the Fuel Installation Guide.
