Creating OpenStack projects in Keystone

Users can't be created without having a project assigned to them, so these must be created first. For this section, we will create a project for our users, called cookbook.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged on to a correctly configured OpenStack client and can access the OpenStack environment as a user with admin privileges.

Refer to Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client, for details of setting up your environment to use OpenStack command-line client.

How to do it…

To create a project in our OpenStack environment, perform the following steps:

  1. We start by creating a project called cookbook as follows:
    openstack project create --domain bookstore
        --description "Cookbook Project" cookbook
    

    The command should produce the output similar to this:

How it works…

By running the preceding command, we just created a project in our bookstore domain. The syntax is as follows:

openstack project create --domain <domain>
    --description <description> <name>

The domain parameter is optional, used to determine which domain the project will belong to. If omitted, the project will be created in the default domain. The description parameter is also optional, but highly recommended. The name parameter has to be unique to the installation.
