  • SSH server supporting public key authentication.
  • Synchronized NTP client.

• Optional items:

  • For hosts providing Block Storage (cinder) service volumes, a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group named cinder-volumes.

  • LVM volume group named lxc to store container file systems. If the lxc volume group does not exist, containers will be automatically installed in the root file system of the host.

    By default, ansible creates a 5 GB logical volume. Plan storage accordingly to support the quantity of containers on each target host.
